Dry eyes occur when the eyes are unable to produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort and irritation. This condition can be caused by various factors, including aging, environmental conditions such as dry air or wind, prolonged screen time, certain medications, and underlying health conditions like autoimmune diseases.

At Advanced Eye Center, Dr. Chen and her team offer effective treatments for dry eyes, ranging from computer vision services to Eterna™ RF treatments. If you’re experiencing symptoms of dry eyes, don’t hesitate to schedule a medical eye exam in Flushing today!

What Are the Symptoms of Dry Eyes?

Common symptoms of dry eyes include:

  • Stinging or burning sensations
  • Redness
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Blurred vision
  • A feeling of grittiness or foreign body sensation in the eyes

Why Do I Have Dry Eyes?

A common reason for a pervasive dry eye condition is MGD, or Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. This occurs when the glands that produce the oil that creates protective tear film are not working properly. The gland function can become disrupted due to bacteria, excess oil, and/or other debris has gotten into the gland and clogged it up. Without this healthy tear film, your tears cannot function properly to lubricate your eyes.

Treatment Options for Dry Eyes

A medical eye exam at Advanced Eye Center will help us diagnose the issue. If it is determined that you suffer from dry eyes as a result of extensive screen time, we can get you set up with a computer vision treatment in order to reduce computer eye strain.

We also provide Eterna™ treatments. Eterna™ is a cutting-edge device designed to provide relief for dry eyes. Traditional treatment for dry eye includes using over-the-counter Nutritious supplements or prescription eye drops for temporary relief. This non-invasive approach revitalizes the meibomian glands responsible for the oily layer of tears. It improves tear quality and quantity therefore alleviates dry eye symptoms, your eyes will be well-lubricated. And, because Eterna™ RF addresses the root cause, the results last much longer than other temporary relief methods.
