👀 A little dry-eye win I witnessed today (sharing to give hope, not to promote anything!)
Someone came in who had been struggling for YEARS — constant burning, blurry vision, couldn’t work on screens without pain.
Turned out their oil glands were almost completely blocked.
After starting a structured treatment plan (warm compress therapy, lid hygiene, and later a light-based treatment (OPTILIGHT IPL therapy) recommended for gland dysfunction), they said today:
“This is the first time in years my eyes haven’t felt heavy, gritty or sore by the afternoon.”
Dry eye can feel hopeless, but it is possible to improve things when you treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
If anyone wants help understanding what type of dry eye you may have, feel free to ask.
No sales — just sharing knowledge as an optometrist who sees this condition every day.
