What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry Eye Syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the quality of tears is insufficient to keep the surface of the eyes properly lubricated. This can lead to symptoms like burning, itching, redness, sensitivity to light, and blurred vision.

It can be caused by various factors including aging, screen overuse, contact lens wear, environmental conditions, hormonal changes, or certain medical treatments.

 

The Treatment Process

At Nova Eye Clinic, we use a personalized approach to identify the underlying cause of dry eye and apply targeted treatments. Our options include:

  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light Therapy): A gentle light-based treatment that warms and stimulates the meibomian glands along the eyelids, improving the oil layer of the tear film and reducing evaporation.

  • Punctal Plugs: Tiny biocompatible devices inserted into the tear drainage ducts to slow down tear loss and keep the eyes moist for longer.

  • Autologous Serum Drops: Customized drops made from the patient’s own blood serum, rich in natural healing agents that soothe inflammation and support eye surface repair.

  • Artificial Tears and Medications: Lubricating eye drops or prescribed medications that provide relief by supplementing tear production or reducing inflammation.
