Dry Eye
Relief for eyes that ache, itch, and just won't stop bothering you.
Symptoms to watch for
When Your Eyes Are Trying to Tell You Something
Dry eye is one of the most common conditions we treat. It occurs when your eyes aren’t producing enough tears, or when the chemical composition of those tears is off — leaving them dry, irritated, and uncomfortable. Left untreated, it can progress from an annoyance to a more serious problem.
How we diagnose it
Finding the Source of Your Discomfort
Dr. Manguikian diagnoses dry eye through a thorough evaluation of your eyes and tear production, using a Schirmer tear test to measure how well your eyes are producing tears.
How we treat it
Personalized Treatment Options
Dry eye treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Dr. Manguikian will evaluate the underlying causes of your symptoms and recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your lifestyle, overall eye health, and the severity of your condition.
We typically start with non-surgical approaches:
If non-surgical methods aren’t providing enough relief, surgical options are available: punctal plugs, punctal cautery, or eyelid surgery if an eyelid condition is contributing.
Dr. Manguikian will work closely with you to find the approach that brings lasting relief. For many patients, effective treatment can significantly improve comfort, reduce irritation, and make everyday activities like reading, driving, and using screens more enjoyable.
