Get to the Root of Your Dry Eye Symptoms
If your eyes often feel dry, scratchy, or irritated—especially after screen time or spending time in air conditioning—you’re not alone. Dry eye is a common condition, and we take it seriously at Vision Source Lake Jackson.
We understand how frustrating dry eye can be and are here to help. Using advanced diagnostics and tailored treatments, such as OptiLIGHT, we take a closer look at what’s causing your symptoms and create a plan designed just for you.
Whether your symptoms are mild or interfering with your daily life, we’re here to help you find relief. Contact us to book your dry eye consultation today to get started.
Request AppointmentWhat Is Dry Eye?
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when your tears aren’t of the right quality to keep your eyes comfortably lubricated.
Common symptoms can include:
- Stinging or burning sensations
- Gritty, sandy feeling
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Light sensitivity
- Redness or irritation
- Excessive tearing (a sign of poor tear quality)
- Discomfort while reading or using screens
What Is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction?
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic and progressive condition affecting the function of the tiny meibomian glands that line your eyelids. These glands produce the tear film’s oily layer, essential for preventing your tears from evaporating too quickly.
MGD symptoms include:
- Watery eyes
- Fluctuating or blurry vision
- Discomfort wearing contact lenses or eye makeup
OptiLIGHT by Lumenis can address MGD by gently stimulating your meibomian glands, helping release the oils your eyes need.
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD): the most common root cause
- Aging or hormonal changes
- Certain medications (like antihistamines or antidepressants)
- Autoimmune conditions
- Screen time and reduced blinking
- Air conditioning, heaters, or windy environments
- Excessive contact lens wear
Our Dry Eye Diagnostics
We believe in getting to the root of your symptoms, not just masking them. At Vision Source Lake Jackson, we use specialized screening tools to assess your tear film and gland function, including:
- Antares imaging: This noninvasive imaging captures detailed views of your eyelid’s oil glands, helping us detect early signs of dysfunction like blockages or gland loss. It’s a key tool in identifying the cause of evaporative dry eye.
- Dedicated dry eye evaluations: We offer separate dry eye exams to give your symptoms the focused attention they deserve. This allows us to examine your symptoms more closely, discuss your concerns, and tailor a treatment plan to help manage discomfort and protect your vision.
Personalized Dry Eye Treatments
Our dry eye therapies are tailored to your unique case. Treatment options may include:
- OptiLIGHT IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): FDA-approved for dry eye related to MGD, this noninvasive treatment helps reduce inflammation and improve tear stability.
- Punctal plugs: Tiny, biocompatible devices inserted into your tear ducts to slow tear drainage and help keep your eyes better hydrated.
- Amniotic membranes: Often used in more severe or chronic cases, these natural tissue membranes support healing and reduce inflammation on the ocular surface.
- Preservative-free lubricating drops: Gentle, effective drops to relieve dryness without irritating sensitive eyes.
- Lid hygiene & home care: We’ll guide you on daily lid-cleaning routines and at-home strategies to support long-term relief.
- Lifestyle adjustments: Personalized tips to help manage triggers like screen use, dry air, or environmental irritants.
We take a layered, personalized approach because dry eye often needs more than a one-size-fits-all solution.
