Dry eye happens when your eyes do not make enough tears, or when your tears evaporate too quickly. It can feel minor at first, then turn into constant irritation, blurry vision, and light sensitivity.
Zarco Vision Center offers dry eye treatment in Miami focused on diagnosing the root cause and improving tear quality and comfort.
Is dry eye serious? It can be. Chronic dry eye can affect vision and damage the eye surface.
Why is it worse on screens? You blink less, so tears evaporate faster.
Are artificial tears safe daily? Many are, but some types are better for frequent use.
Do redness reliefdrops help? Often they make things worse long-term.
Dry eye is usually a mix of factors:
A good dry eye workup looks for the why, not just the symptoms. Your exam may include:
1) At-home basics
2) Prescription options
If inflammation is part of the problem, prescription drops may be recommended.
3) In-office dry eye treatments
For many patients, in-office therapies can improve oil gland function and tear stability. (Your exact plan depends on your exam findings.)
When should I be seen for dry eye? If youre using drops multiple times a day, your vision is fluctuating, or contacts have become uncomfortable, its time for a dry eye evaluation.
Can dry eye cause blurry vision? Yes. An unstable tear film can make vision fluctuate, especially during reading or screen use.
Why do my eyes water if theyaredry? Irritation can trigger reflex tearing, but those tears often do not fix the underlying dryness.
Should I stop wearing contacts? Not always, but you may need a treatment plan or a different lens type.
Are omega-3 supplements worth it? Some patients find them helpful, but results vary. Ask your doctor what makes sense for you and your treatment plan.
Who will I see at Zarco Vision? You may see optometrist Dr. Fernando Silva for dry eye evaluation and ongoing care, with ophthalmology support from Dr. Isidoro Zarco and Dr. Matias Soifer when needed.
