Dry eye care in Houston

BlephEx eyelid treatment device

Burning, scratchy eyes or fluctuating vision can be uncomfortable. An eye exam can help determine whether dry eye is involved and what may be contributing to it.

Dry eye can occur when there are too few tears or when tears do not work as they should. Care depends on the cause. Your doctor may discuss eye drops, changes to daily habits or other options based on your examination.

Tell the team when symptoms occur and what you have already tried. Bring your medication list and questions about any treatment you have seen online.
