At Christensen Eye Care, we see many patients with dry eye syndrome; there is regular dry eye and then there is also contact lens related dry eye. We have several different treatments available that we can use for both of those areas.

For regular dry eye, there is anything from different step treatments; we usually start it out with artificial tears and then take it from there. If necessary, we can go move to prescription medications. Your individual needs will be assessed when you come in for an eye exam.

The causes of dry eye syndrome are varied, with many different factors, anything from hormone changes throughout life, side effects to prescription that you're taking, health control medication is one big one that will affect dry eyes as well as antidepressants. Even different climates or allergies can play a role in the type of dry eyes that we're seeing.
