Dry eye is more than eye discomfort, it can lead to decreased vision, eye redness, eye pain and even corneal damage. Ordinary artifical tears may not be able to solve the underlying problem completely.
We analyse the causes of dry eye disease, to determine whether it is "aqueous-deficient" or "evaporative" (meibomian gland dysfunction), and thereby to develop an appropriate management plan and treatment such as artifical tears, punctal plugs, specialized eye drops, and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy.
