Do your eyes feel relatively fine in the morning but progressively worse as the day goes on? This pattern is a hallmark symptom of chronic dry eye syndrome. Tear film instability and meibomian gland dysfunction often cause discomfort to build throughout the day, leaving you with tired, irritated eyes by evening.
At Dry Eye Treatment Centers of NY & NJ, we understand how frustrating this can be. Using comprehensive diagnostic tools, including fluorescein break-up time and tear volume assessment, we identify the specific issues contributing to your discomfort.
Customized treatments, such as low-level light therapy, radiofrequency therapy, and anti-inflammatory medications, address these underlying causes. Additionally, we provide guidance on lifestyle changes, such as managing screen time and hydration, to minimize symptom progression.
With our targeted approach, you can experience relief throughout the entire day and regain control over your eye health.
FAQs:

- What can I do to prevent discomfort from building up? Regular breaks from screens, proper hydration, and using prescribed treatments can help.
