Function of Tears
Dry eye disease (DED) is one of the most common eye conditions. Tears protect the outer layer of eyes. New tears are formed from the glands around the eyes to keep the moisture level balanced in the eye. The outer film is necessary to protect our corneas and keep clear vision.
At Clearvue Eye Care, we offer personalized dry eye treatment approach because DED could be from multiple factors such as blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), rosacea, systemic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Graves’ disease, diabetes, scleroderma, and Sjogren’s syndrome, hormonal changes in women after menopause and during pregnancy, incomplete blinking, indoor or outdoor environmental factors, contact lenses, ocular and systemic medications, and eye surgical procedures. If you want to see better, look better and feel better, let us rebuild the foundation of your eye protective layer. Please schedule an appointment for a consult.
