Dry Eyes Treatment

Dry eye syndrome (DES) affects more than 40 million people in the United States and is one of the most common reasons that people visit their eye care professional. Kelly Vision is a TearLab™ accredited dry eye center, and our staff is dedicated to providing the highest quality care by using advanced ophthalmic diagnostic techniques and treatments.

  • Dry eye affects an estimated 23 million people nationwide 
  • Dry eye often develops due to dysfunctional glands
  • If left untreated, severe dry eye may damage the cornea
  • Dry eye may be caused by diabetes, sleep apnea, or certain cosmetic procedures
  • Those who spend a lot of time looking at their computer, tablet, or smartphone are at a higher risk

Dry Eye or MGD?

Dry eye occurs when the eyes don’t produce sufficient tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly. Without proper treatment, inadequate tears can make daily activities frustrating and can affect your personal and professional life — from reading to watching TV to driving or doing computer work. The most common form of dry eye is evaporative dry eye, also known as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which affects 9 out of 10 (86%) dry eye cases.

MGD results from a shortage of oil in the tears, which is caused by a blockage in your eyelid glands. This causes the tears to evaporate faster than normal.

You really won’t be able to know if you have MGD until your eye care doctor has examined your eye. If you believe you may have this condition, we encourage you to schedule an appointment.
