What Causes Dry Eye?

Dry eye or dry eye disease is a common, chronic eye problem caused by poor tear production. Tears (the tear film) help moisten and nourish the eye’s surface. The tear film has 3 layers:

The oily outer layer prevents tears from drying too quickly & makes the eye’s surface smooth
The watery middle layer moistens the eye & delivers nutrients to the eye’s surface
The inner mucus layer helps tears stick to the eye’s surface & spread evenly

When one of the layers is lacking, tears are of poor quality. For example, meibomian gland dysfunction causes evaporative dry eye (tears dry up too quickly). The meibomian glands produce the oily layer of tears.

People with dry eye can experience various uncomfortable symptoms. It can also increase the risk of repeat infections, leading to corneal scarring and impaired vision.

Dry Eye Symptoms

The symptoms you experience may differ, depending on your eye health. But common dry eye symptoms include:

Blurry vision
Burning or stinging
A gritty or scratchy sensation
Light sensitivity
Redness
Watery eyes

Managing Dry Eye

There are many methods of managing dry eye, from home remedies to in-office treatments. We can support your eye care by developing a personalized treatment plan, which may include some at-home care, such as:

Artificial tears (eye drops)
Eyelid scrubs
Omega-3 fatty acids
Warm compresses
Regular screen breaks

MoistureEyes Spa

One in-office dry eye therapy we can offer is MiBo Thermoflo. Tear quality and quantity are essential for preventing dry eye. Yet, many everyday factors can disrupt tear flow, including:

Aging (particularly adults over 65)
Complications of eye surgery
Environments with low humidity (like Arizona!)
Medications & medical conditions
Prolonged screen time

When you suffer from dry eye, do yourself a favor and come see us to get pampered. We can treat your eyes to help alleviate discomfort so you feel and look less tired because of your eyes. Our MoistureEyes Spa is an all-encompassing, holistic approach to dry eye therapy.

What Is MiBo ThermoFlow?

MiBo Thermoflo uses heat to help soothe dry eye symptoms by unclogging oil from the tear glands. The device massages the eyelid while delivering consistent, comfortable heat. The warmth helps melt the clogged oil, and the gentle pressure stimulates flow. As a result, tear quality is improved, with moisture lasting longer on the eye’s surface.
