Understanding Dry Eye
Dry eye is a condition where your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the right quality of tears to keep them comfortable. In Portland’s diverse climate, this can be more than a minor irritation—it can disrupt your daily activities and overall well-being. If your eyes feel gritty, itchy, or constantly tired, you’re likely experiencing dry eye.
The Impact on Your Lifestyle
Dry eye doesn’t just affect your eyes; it affects your life. Reading, working on a computer, or enjoying the outdoors is challenging when your vision is blurred and eyes are in discomfort. Long-term, untreated dry eye can lead to more serious eye health issues.
Our Approach to Dry Eye Treatment
At our Portland clinic, we focus on practical, effective — and most importantly, customized — solutions. We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the cause, and offer treatments designed to provide real relief. One of our most effective treatments is the LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System, which clears blocked meibomian glands to restore your eye’s natural tear film. However, we have many more that can round out your treatment plan based on your individual needs, including specialized lenses, Eyelight®, specialized tear drops, and more.
