Dry Eyes
Overview & Our Approach to Dry Eyes
Dry Eye Syndrome, commonly referred to as “dry eyes,” is one of the most prevalent eye conditions, affecting millions of people across all ages, genders, and racial backgrounds. Characterized by dry, itchy, and irritated eyes, Dry Eye Syndrome can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort and visual disturbances. The condition often results from an imbalance in the tear film that keeps the eye’s surface moist and lubricated. When the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, dry eyes can occur.
Restoring Tear Film Balance: Through acupuncture, supplements, and advanced therapeutic devices, we work to restore the natural balance of the tear film, improving both tear production and quality.
Addressing Systemic Health Issues: Dry eyes are often linked to broader health concerns, such as mucous membrane dryness, digestive imbalances, or autoimmune diseases. We take a comprehensive approach, addressing these systemic issues to provide lasting relief.
- Telehealth & In-Office Treatments: Our New Jersey office offers intensive, personalized treatments designed to deliver rapid and effective results. For added convenience, we also provide telehealth consultations to guide at-home care.
- At-Home Care with ACS3000: We offer the ACS3000 system for at-home treatment, supporting tear production and eye health between office visits.
- Targeted Supplements: Our specialized supplements are designed to support overall eye health, reduce inflammation, and promote systemic balance, helping to prevent the recurrence of dry eyes.
Symptoms & Causes of Dry Eyes
Symptoms of Dry Eyes:
Dryness and Irritation: The most common symptoms include a persistent sensation of dryness, itching, or a gritty feeling in the eyes, often described as “sand in the eyes.”
Redness: Chronic dryness can lead to inflammation, causing the eyes to appear red or bloodshot.
Sensitivity to Light: Many individuals with dry eyes experience increased sensitivity to light, known as photophobia.
Blurred Vision: Fluctuating vision, particularly after prolonged periods of reading or screen use, can be a sign of dry eyes.
Excessive Tearing: Paradoxically, dry eyes can cause excessive tearing as the eyes try to compensate for dryness by producing more tears, although these tears may lack the necessary components to keep the eyes properly lubricated.
Causes of Dry Eyes:
Tear Film Imbalance: The tear film is composed of three layers – oil, water, and mucus. Imbalances in any of these layers can lead to dry eyes. For example, insufficient oil production by the meibomian glands can cause tears to evaporate too quickly.
Systemic Health Conditions: Dry eyes are often associated with other health conditions, including autoimmune diseases like Sjogren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus erythematosus. Digestive imbalances and other mucous membrane dryness can also contribute to the condition.
Environmental Factors: Exposure to wind, smoke, dry climates, and prolonged screen time can exacerbate dry eyes by increasing tear evaporation or reducing blink rates.
Age and Hormonal Changes: Aging and hormonal changes, particularly in women during menopause, can reduce tear production, leading to dry eyes.
Medications: Certain medications, including antihistamines, decongestants, antidepressants, and blood pressure medications, can decrease tear production as a side effect.
Contact Lens Use: Wearing contact lenses for extended periods can disrupt the tear film and contribute to dry eyes.
