Dry eye disease is a widespread and common issue for up to 49 million Americans. This chronic condition can have a significant impact on your quality of life, causing a foreign body sensation in your eyes, pain, blurry vision, and dry or watery eyes. Untreated, it can even lead to further eye health complications.
Despite these constant detrimental effects on quality of life, many dry eye sufferers are not aware that they’re suffering from dry eye disease or that real treatments exist. Instead, they just live with the discomfort.
At EyeSmile Optometry & Dental Care of Belmont, we are dedicated to finding a dry eye solution for you. We utilize modern technology to provide a comprehensive dry eye analysis with the Oculus Keratograph 5M Crystal Tear Report as well as supplemental testing with InflammaDry or Schirmer’s test strips to diagnose and find the reason for your dry eyes.
We’re proud to offer OptiLight by Lumenis to our patients, specially designed for dry eye management.
