Dry Eye Treatment
Dry, itchy, irritated eyes aren’t just a nuisance—they can be a sign of something deeper. This is why our comprehensive eye exams go beyond checking your vision. We’re trained to detect signs of dry eye disease early, even before you realize it's a problem.
What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when your tears don’t work the way they should. This can lead to stinging, burning, redness, blurry vision, and that all-too-familiar feeling of something in your eye.
Especially Common in Colorado
Thanks to our dry climate, high altitude, and year-round winds, dry eye is especially common in Colorado. If you live here and struggle with irritated eyes, you’re not alone and we’re here to help.
