Dry Eyes - Rochester Eye & Laser Center

Dry Eye is an Incredibly Common Condition

There are just not enough tears

Millions of people suffer from dry eye, a condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce sufficient tears or tears evaporate too quickly. The result is often dry, itchy, stinging, and irritated eyes. A chronic condition, dry eye can worsen over time, and inadequate tears can make daily life frustrating and uncomfortable.

Did you know that watery eyes can be a symptom of Dry Eye?

There are two forms of dry eye – evaporative and aqueous. Nearly 90% of those with the condition have the evaporative form, or MGD. Dr. Lindahl will evaluate your eyes in a series of tests to assess your tear film and the quantity and quality of the oils produced by your glands. These simple exams will determine if you have evaporative dry eye. If so, the Rochester Eye & Laser Center offers a virtually painless procedure, to treat the cause directly.

Treat the Root Cause of Evaporative Dry Eye

If you suffer from evaporative dry eye, Lipiflow® is a gentle and painless procedure that opens and clears blocked glands quickly and painlessly. Then your eyes can start naturally producing the complex oils that create a healthy tear film. This in-office treatment may even be scheduled on the day of your evaluation.
