What is Dry Eye?

Dry eye happens when your eyes don’t make enough tears or the tears evaporate too fast, leading to discomfort and vision issues.

Common Symptoms

• Irritation or burning
• Redness
• Gritty feeling
• Blurry vision
• Light sensitivity
• Watery eyes

What Causes It?

• Aging
• Screen time
• Dry or windy environments
• Certain medications
• Health conditions (e.g., autoimmune diseases)
• Contact lenses

How is it Diagnosed? An eye care specialist will:

• Review your symptoms
• Test tear production and quality
• Check eyelid and gland function

Treatment Options

• Artificial tears for quick relief
• Prescription eye drops to reduce inflammation
• Punctal plugs to keep tears in your eyes
• Lifestyle adjustments (e.g., humidifiers, less screen time)
• Plasma-based treatments (like autologous serum or platelet-rich plasma) to promote healing
• Advanced therapies (e.g., light therapy or minor surgery)

Why Consider Plasma Treatments?

Plasma-based drops, made from your own blood, provide a natural way to nourish and heal your eyes, especially for severe cases.
