Dry Eye Assessments & Treatment Plans in Livermore
Common Signs You May Have Dry Eye
Dry eye disease doesn’t always present the same way, which is why it often goes unrecognized. You may notice:
- A gritty, sandy, or stinging sensation
- Redness or burning in or around the eyes
- Light sensitivity
- Blurry or fluctuating vision
- Excessive tearing (a reflex to dryness)
- Difficulty wearing contact lenses
- Eye fatigue, especially after screen use or reading
It may be time to schedule a comprehensive dry eye evaluation if these symptoms are familiar.
What Causes Dry Eye
A range of factors can cause dry eye disease, including:
- Environmental conditions (wind, smoke, air conditioning)
- Prolonged screen time or reduced blinking
- Hormonal changes and aging
- Certain medications
- Inflammation or poor tear film quality
We don’t treat dry eye with a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we take the time to evaluate the root cause of your symptoms, so we can offer care tailored to your comfort and lifestyle.
Personalized Dry Eye Treatment Plans That Work for You
Our practice offers medical dry eye treatment guided by your eye doctor, not just over-the-counter solutions. After a detailed eye exam, we’ll build a plan using a combination of:
- Lubricating or prescription eye drops
- Anti-inflammatory sprays or ointments
- Nutritional supplements (like omega-3s)
- Eyelid hygiene and cleansing products
- Take-home support products available through our online store
We do not use in-office machinery for dry eye therapy, so you can manage your treatment to fit your routine, with guidance and follow-up from a team you know and trust.
Dry Eye Care That Evolves With You
Dry eye is often chronic, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with discomfort. With regular care, lifestyle adjustments, and the right treatment plan, most patients find their symptoms improve and stay under control.
Our team is here to check in, make adjustments as needed, and support you for the long term. If you’re tired of working around your symptoms or switching between temporary fixes, we can help you find a better path forward.
