Do you experience redness, itching, burning, tearing, contact lens discomfort, a scratchy feeling, or tired eyes?  These are the most common symptoms of Dry Eye Disease!  Too often patients are recommended an eye drop, which may provide very temporary relief, but does not treat the root cause of the problem. It is estimated that 20% of the population suffers from Dry Eye Disease.  Only 10% are diagnosed properly and only 5% are treated properly!  Age, hormonal changes, allergies, medication, smoking, environmental factors, reduced blink rate are all factors that play into Dry Eye Disease.
