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.
