Relief Starts with the Right Diagnosis
At Reisman Eye Institute, we believe successful treatment starts with understanding what’s causing your symptoms. Because dry eye has many possible causes, we take the time to evaluate your tear film, eyelid health, and overall eye surface before recommending a personalized treatment plan.
Whether your symptoms are mild or have been affecting you for years, we’re here to help you find lasting relief.
What Is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough healthy tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. Tears do much more than keep your eyes comfortable—they help protect the surface of the eye, maintain clear vision, and support overall eye health.
Dry eye may develop as a result of:
Many patients experience a combination of these factors.
Common Symptoms
Dry eye symptoms can vary from person to person and may include:
Even if your eyes water excessively, dry eye may still be the underlying cause.
Personalized Treatment Options
Because every patient’s eyes are different, treatment is tailored to your individual needs. Your care plan may include one or a combination of therapies designed to improve tear quality, reduce inflammation, and restore a healthier ocular surface.
Depending on your diagnosis, treatment options may include:
Advanced thermal treatments, such as LipiFlow®, TearCare®, and similar technologies, may be appropriate for certain patients with meibomian gland dysfunction. During your evaluation, we’ll discuss whether these or other treatment options may be beneficial based on your specific condition.
Why an Evaluation Matters
Many people assume all dry eye is the same, but the underlying cause can vary significantly from person to person. Treating symptoms alone often provides only temporary relief.
A comprehensive dry eye evaluation allows us to identify the source of the problem and develop a treatment plan focused on long-term improvement rather than short-term symptom management.
