With so many of today's jobs requiring screen use, many of our clients come to us with dry eye syndrome. Symptoms of this condition typically include dry, itchy eyes, burning or gritty sensations, and fluctuating visual levels between blinks. The condition often occurs with clients who use computers and neglect to blink while concentrating on their screens.

Advanced Dry Eye Treatment Near You

Our optometrist, Dr. Tari Thomas, utilizes the latest methods of dry eye management. Our first steps will include infrared imaging of the tear glands and testing the tears' percentage of salt. Once we have diagnosed your condition and gauged its severity, we will develop a treatment plan for your eyes. Although eye drops may temporarily relieve your symptoms, you need treatment to directly address the cause of your dry eye. Without proper treatment the condition will only get worse.

Pflugerville Vision Care offers clients an advanced dry eye treatment called iLux thermal expression. Our optometrist uses a handheld device that provides warmth to the inner and outer eyelids. This warmth melts the meibomian oil, which lubricates the tear glands. The oil is then expressed by gently compressing the lids. After treatment, tear production typically returns to a normal volume, providing relief from dry eyes.
