Dry eye syndrome is a common yet often overlooked condition that can cause significant discomfort and interfere with daily life. At Tandon Eye Hospital, Andheri, Mumbai, we specialize in advanced diagnostic and treatment options for dry eyes, providing relief and improved eye health for our patients.
Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, irritation, and inflammation. It can be caused by various factors, including:
•Prolonged screen time
•Aging
•Hormonal changes
•Environmental factors like pollution or air conditioning
•Underlying health conditions or medications
Symptoms of Dry Eye
•Redness and irritation
•Burning or stinging sensation
•Blurred vision
•A feeling of grit or something “foreign” in the eye
•Excessive tearing (a response to dryness)
•Sensitivity to light
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek expert care.
Advanced Dry Eye Diagnostics
At Tandon Eye Hospital, we use the latest technology to diagnose the root cause of dry eye syndrome accurately:
1.Tear Film Analysis: Evaluates the quality and quantity of tears using Ocular surface analyser
2.Meibography: Examines the meibomian glands for blockages or dysfunction.
3.Ocular Surface Staining: Identifies areas of dryness or damage on the corneal surface.
4.Schirmer’s Test: Measures tear production levels.
This comprehensive evaluation allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
