Q&A | What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

How do I know if I have Dry Eye?

Dry eye can cause quite a few symptoms, anything from the eyes actually feeling dry to the eyes watering often, or having a burning, itchy, or irritated feeling. One of the most common symptoms is the eyes feeling gritty or like something is in your eye. Most people will often experience blurred vision since the tears, which comprise the outermost surface of the eye, are unstable.

Is there anything I can do to prevent DES?

Dry eye is multi-factorial, and each person’s dry eye is unique to them. To help prevent dry eye, make sure to consume 8 to 10 glasses of water per day to avoid dehydration. Some nutritional supplements, such as fish oil and flax seed oil, can contribute to a more stable tear layer.

Remember to blink regularly and take breaks often when on a computer, cell phone or when watching television. During times of the year when there is less humidity, a humidifier might be helpful to provide more moisture in the air.

Efficient

Very efficient visit. I expected it to take a Longer time but it didn't. The price was very good. They offered me advices and a supply of contacts for a week for free. They were very nice and kept being interested and helpful. The T stops right at their shop which is amazing.

Professional

Eye doctors have always been my favorite of all my healthcare needs and Dr Kalish was no exception. Extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and no waiting. I liked the personal aspect and almost hope I have more things wrong with my eyes so I can go more often.
