Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a common condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears to stay properly lubricated. At What a Spectacle Optometry, we offer personalized dry eye treatments to bring long-lasting relief and protect your vision.
Dry eyes can lead to persistent discomfort, including itching, burning, stinging, or a gritty sensation. You may also notice blurred vision, excessive tearing, or a feeling like something is in your eye. These symptoms can interfere with daily activities like reading, using digital devices, or driving at night.
The causes of DES vary and may include aging, hormonal changes, autoimmune conditions, certain medications, contact lens wear, or prolonged screen time. Environmental factors such as wind, dry indoor air, and smoke can also contribute to symptoms.
If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, schedule your appointment today and let us help you find relief:
• Dry, itchy eyes
• Burning or stinging
• Irritation or watery eyes
• Blurred vision

• Foreign body sensation
