Dry Eye Drops

The Foundation.

There are various types of eye drops
designed to relieve dry eyes,
depending on
the underlying cause:


The most commonly used drops that supplement the watery
layer of the tear film. Ideal for mild cases of dry eyes.


These help stabilize the tear film’s oil layer, preventing
excessive evaporation. Beneficial for patients with meibomian gland dysfunction.


Designed for patients with both aqueous deficiency and
lipid layer issues, these drops provide comprehensive tear film support.


Thicker than liquid drops, they provide longer-lasting
relief, especially for nighttime use.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Dry Eyes

Dry eyes occur when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tear film composition is
disrupted. This can lead to symptoms such as burning, redness, itching, and a gritty sensation
(like having sand in your eyes). If left untreated, dry eyes can impact your quality of life and
even cause damage to the eye’s surface.

2. What causes dry eyes?

Many factors can contribute to dry eyes, including aging, hormonal changes, prolonged screen
time, certain medications, and environmental influences such as dry air. In today’s digital world,
dry eyes have become a widespread issue.

In addition to lubricating eye drops, modern therapies specifically target the underlying causes
of dry eyes. At our clinic, we use OptiLight, an innovative Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy
designed to treat dry eyes. This gentle and effective treatment reduces inflammation and improves
the function of the meibomian glands, helping to stabilize the tear film.

OptiLight is a light-based therapy that directly addresses the root cause of dry eyes by reducing
inflammation and restoring the function of the meibomian glands. This enhances the quality of the
tear film and provides significant relief from dry eye symptoms. The treatment is quick, painless,
and highly effective.

If you frequently experience dry, irritated, or burning eyes, you should consider scheduling an
eye exam. If your symptoms worsen or persist despite using eye drops, it is essential to determine
the underlying cause and explore more advanced treatment options.

While dry eyes are often a chronic condition, modern therapies like OptiLight can significantly
improve symptoms. With targeted treatment, discomfort can be relieved, and quality of life can be
greatly enhanced. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to managing dry eye syndrome effectively.

Taking regular breaks from screen time, maintaining proper indoor humidity, and wearing
sunglasses in windy conditions can help prevent dry eyes. Our clinic offers personalized
consultations and cutting-edge treatments to keep your eyes healthy and comfortable.
