See Clearly Again: Personalized Solutions for Dry Eye

If you’re dealing with burning, stinging, tired eyes, or blurred vision, you might be experiencing Dry Eye Disease. This widespread condition affects millions of Americans and can make everyday tasks like reading, driving, or screen use more difficult. At Eye Associates of Plantation, we specialize in identifying and treating chronic dry eye using advanced technology and personalized treatment plans—so you can get back to seeing comfortably and clearly.

Understanding Dry Eye Disease

Dry Eye Disease, also known as Dry Eye Syndrome, occurs when your eyes either don’t produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. This tear film imbalance can cause inflammation, damage the eye’s surface, and result in persistent discomfort that may worsen over time.

Common Signs and Symptoms:

  • A sensation of dryness or grittiness
  • Itching, burning, or stinging
  • Excessive tearing
  • Redness and light sensitivity
  • Blurred or fluctuating vision

If you experience these symptoms frequently, it’s important to seek expert care. Without proper treatment, Dry Eye Disease can lead to corneal damage and long-term visual complications.

Diagnosing Dry Eye Disease

At Eye Associates of Plantation, we provide thorough dry eye evaluations using the latest in diagnostic technology to accurately identify the root cause of your symptoms. Our advanced tools include:

These cutting-edge assessments allow us to determine whether your condition stems from evaporative dry eye, aqueous tear deficiency, or meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). With this insight, we tailor a personalized treatment plan designed to deliver lasting relief and restore ocular comfort.
