Do you ever find yourself rubbing your eyes, having discomfort in your eyes throughout the day, or having redness in or around your eyes? If your eyes become inflamed or experience any discomfort and pain, you may be suffering from dry eyes. What can cause dry eyes? Dry eyes can be caused by aging, side effects of certain drugs, diseases that limit your ability to make tears, and other factors.

Now that we know what can cause dry eyes, what is actually happening to your eyes when you have dry eyes? Having dry eyes means that your tear system is compromised by a lack of sufficient lubrication. Tears are essential lubrication for your eyes, and lack of lubrication can cause inflammation on the surface of your eyes, which can eventually lead to pain, a corneal ulcer, or scars on your cornea.

If your eyes feel gritty, dry, or itchy, or they’re sensitive to light or your vision is blurry, call us. We want to help you with your dry eye needs - everyone deserves eye comfort.

Buffalo Eye Center's Dry Eye Treatment & Testing

Often, consistent application of over-the-counter eyedrops is enough for many people to see relief from dry eyes. If you are suffering from more severe symptoms, however, you will want to make an appointment with the Buffalo Eye Center for professional dry eyes treatment. We have multiple approaches available depending on the nature of your condition. For example, if your dry eyes are being caused by a particular factor, such as a side effect of medication, we will work to manage and minimize that factor. In other situations, we can focus on improving the quality of your tears. Occasionally, we will perform a procedure to partially close a patient's tear ducts with removable silicone plugs which help keep tears from leaving the eye too quickly. We will be happy to discuss with you the full range of options for dry eyes treatment.

The Buffalo Eye Center offers TearLab® tear testing to patients throughout Kenmore, Buffalo, Amherst, Tonawanda, North Tonawanda, Cheektowaga, Williamsville, Grand Island, Orchard Park, West Seneca, Niagara Falls, Lockport and Lancaster, NY. This helps our eye doctors recommend the best dry eye treatment options for dry eye symptoms. We also offer tranquileyes® products to help bring natural and effective relief for red, dry eyes. These dry eye treatments can help reduce inflammation of the meibomian glands which make the lipid, or oily, part of tears that help slow evaporation and keep the tears stable.
