Dry eyes can affect your comfort, vision, and daily quality of life. While over-the-counter drops may provide temporary relief, recurring or persistent dryness is often a sign of an underlying issue that requires expert evaluation. At Westchester Eyes, our team uses advanced diagnostic technology and customized treatment plans to uncover the cause of your symptoms and deliver long-lasting relief.

 

Understanding the Root Cause of Dry Eyes

Dry eye is not just one condition. - it’s the result of several possible dysfunctions in your tear film or eyelid system. Two of the most common underlying conditions are Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and blepharitis.

MGD occurs when the meibomian glands in your eyelids become blocked or inflamed, preventing the oil layer of your tears from functioning properly. Without these natural oils, tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, burning, and blurry vision.

Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid margins, often caused by debris buildup, bacteria, or clogged oil glands. It can worsen dry eye symptoms and contribute to chronic irritation if not properly managed. Both conditions require a clinical diagnosis to determine the severity and best course of treatment.

 

Pinpointing the Underlying Cause

Many dry eye sufferers assume drops will solve the problem. But without understanding the root cause, treatment won’t be effective. A professional evaluation uses advanced imaging, gland analysis, and tear film assessments to identify what's really happening.

 

Building a Targeted Treatment Plan

Dry eye is highly individual. What works for one patient may not work for another. At Westchester Eyes, we create personalized plans that address the exact reason for your dryness. This approach leads to faster, more meaningful improvements.
