Dry Eye

Do your eyes often feel dry, itchy, or like there's something in them? You might be experiencing dry eye syndrome—a common condition where your eyes don't make enough tears or the right kind of tears to stay properly lubricated. This can cause burning, stinging, blurry vision, or even watery eyes as your body tries to compensate. At North Cypress Eye Center, we create personalized treatment plans designed to relieve your symptoms and help you get back to living comfortably.

What is Dry Eye?

Dry Eye is a common ocular condition where insufficient tears lead to inadequate lubrication of the eyes, causing discomfort, redness, and blurred vision.

Causes of Dry Eye can include decreased tear production, increased tear evaporation, imbalance in tear composition, environmental factors such as wind and dry climates, prolonged screen use or reading, medical conditions like diabetes or autoimmune diseases, and certain medications including antihistamines or antidepressants.

Dry Eye Symptoms

  • Burning, stinging, or scratchy sensation
  • Redness or irritation in the eyes
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Difficulty wearing contact lenses
  • Watery eyes (a reflex response to dryness)
  • Blurry vision or eye fatigue
