Advanaced Eyecare is pleased to offer our patients many options for treatment of chronic Dry Eye.
What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry Eye Syndrome—also known as Dry Eye Disease (DED)—is a common yet often overlooked condition affecting millions of Americans. If your eyes feel dry, gritty, or constantly irritated, you may be suffering from this chronic issue. At our Dry Eye Treatment Center in New Jersey, we specialize in diagnosing and treating the root causes of dry eye, not just the symptoms.
Common Symptoms of Dry Eye
Patients with Dry Eye Syndrome often experience one or more of the following:
- Burning or stinging sensations in the eyes
- Redness and irritation
- Blurry or fluctuating vision
- Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
- Feeling like something is “in your eye”
- Excessive tearing or watery eyes (a sign of compensatory overproduction)
If you are experiencing these symptoms, you’re not alone. Studies show that nearly 7 out of 10 people suffer from some degree of Dry Eye Disease—yet many go undiagnosed and untreated.
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry Eye Syndrome can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Aging and hormonal changes (especially in women over 40)
- Extended screen time or digital eye strain
- Contact lens wear
- Environmental conditions (wind, dry climate, air conditioning)
- Certain medications (antihistamines, antidepressants, blood pressure meds)
- Underlying health issues such as blepharitis, rosacea, or autoimmune diseases
- Eyelid problems or eyelids that are unable to close properly can also cause dry eyes
Identifying the underlying cause of dry eye is essential for effective treatment. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools help us determine whether your dry eye is evaporative (from meibomian gland dysfunction) or aqueous deficient (due to poor tear production).
Advanced Dry Eye Treatments at Our New Jersey Dry Eye Center
At our Dry Eye Center, we offer personalized, medically-backed solutions tailored to your needs. Our multi-modal treatment approach includes:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
This non-invasive light treatment reduces inflammation and restores normal function of the meibomian glands.
Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy
RF therapy uses gentle heat to unclog oil glands and improve tear film stability. It’s safe, comfortable, and highly effective.
DMST (Dynamic Meibomian Scan Technology)
Our advanced imaging system allows us to visualize gland structure and track treatment success over time.
Prescription Eye Drops & Supplements
We may recommend cyclosporine-based drops (like Restasis or Xiidra) or eye health supplements like DE3 to reduce inflammation and improve tear quality.
Punctal Plugs and Moisture Retention Strategies
For patients with severe aqueous deficiency, we may use tiny silicone plugs to prevent tear drainage and keep the eyes better lubricated.
