Why Do My Eyes Feel This Way?

Your eyes shouldn't feel dry, irritated, or uncomfortable—but if they do, you're not alone. Dry eye symptoms can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Oil Deficiency – Clogged meibomian glands lead to quick tear evaporation.

  • Tear Imbalance – Not enough or poor-quality tears cause irritation.

  • Inflammation – Chronic inflammation can disrupt tear production.

  • Bacteria & Mites – Microbial overgrowth contributes to irritation.

  • Eyelid Function Issues – Poor blinking or incomplete lid closure leads to dryness.

  • Allergies & Environmental Factors – Dust, pollen, wind, and screen time can make symptoms worse.

  • Medical Conditions & Hormones – Systemic conditions, aging, and hormonal changes affect tear production.

How Do You Know If You Have Dry Eye?

Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess your unique dry eye profile. Our evaluations include:

  • Antares Advanced Tear Film Analysis & Report – Comprehensive imaging of your tear film that includes photos & videos of your eyes.

  • Dynamic Tear Break-Up Time – Measures the evaporation rate of your tears.

  • Tear Meniscus Measurements- Assesses your rate of tear production. 

  • Vital Dyes – Identifies corneal surface damage from dryness.

  • Corneal Sensitivity Testing – Evaluates nerve function in the eye.

  • Antares Meibography (Meibomian gland imaging)– Checks for gland blockages affecting oil flow.
