Acute Dry Eye Solutions

Dry eye disease is chronic, multifactorial and complex. As a result, management plans have to account for many variables, from underlying conditions to work environments.

I talk about cosmetics every day with my patients, and most patients mention that I’m the first eye doctor to raise the subject.

Demodex blepharitis is so common that it makes up more than twothirds of all blepharitis cases.

There’s a lingering misconception that eyelid problems like blepharitis affect only adults. In reality, everyone is touching their face and eyes, getting exposed to dirt and debris, and not always practicing good lid hygiene.

A range of factors, or triggers, that affect the ocular surface can cause dry eye flares of varying intensity.

In our practice, rather than using a questionnaire to determine whether patients have dry eye disease, we ask a lot of rapid-fire questions to get to the root of the problem.

Rapid growth of knowledge and treatment advances in dry eye disease have evolved in parallel over the last 10 years.
