Dry Eye Assessment and Treatment

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to discomfort, irritation, and vision problems. At Yashoda Nethralaya, we offer a comprehensive dry eye assessment and advanced treatment options to relieve symptoms and restore eye health.

Assessment of Dry Eye

The assessment process begins with a detailed consultation, where our specialists evaluate symptoms such as dryness, redness, burning, itching, excessive tearing, and sensitivity to light. Diagnostic tests may include:

  • Tear Film Break-Up Time (TBUT): Measures how quickly the tear film evaporates.

  • Schirmer’s Test: Determines the eye’s tear production capacity.

  • Meibomian Gland Evaluation: Assesses the function of the oil-producing glands in the eyelids.

  • Fluorescein and Lissamine Green Staining: Identifies areas of damage on the ocular surface.

Treatment for Dry Eye Syndrome

Once the cause and severity of dry eye are determined, a personalized treatment plan is recommended. Treatment options include:

  • Artificial Tears and Lubricants: Over-the-counter or prescription eye drops help maintain moisture.

  • Punctal Plugs: Small devices inserted into the tear ducts to prevent tear drainage and retain moisture.

  • Medicated Eye Drops: Anti-inflammatory drops such as cyclosporine or corticosteroids reduce irritation.

  • Lid Hygiene and Warm Compresses: Helps manage conditions like meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which contributes to dry eye.

  • Nutritional Supplements: Omega-3 fatty acids improve tear quality and reduce inflammation.

  • Advanced Therapies: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy or LipiFlow treatment may be recommended for severe cases.

Regular follow-ups and lifestyle modifications, such as reducing screen time, staying hydrated, and using humidifiers, can further help manage dry eye symptoms.

At Yashoda Nethralaya, we are dedicated to providing expert care for dry eye syndrome, ensuring long-term relief and improved eye comfort for our patients.
