If your eyes often feel dry, gritty, irritated, or tired, you’re not alone. Dry eye disease is one of the most common chronic eye conditions, especially among adults who spend long hours on screens, live in dry environments, or wear contact lenses. We take a medical, personalized approach to treating dry eye, helping you find lasting comfort and clear vision again.
We’ve helped hundreds of patients across East Vancouver manage dry eye and reclaim their daily routines.
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t make enough tears. It also happens if your tears evaporate too quickly. This leaves your eyes poorly lubricated. Age can trigger it, as can hormone changes, screen time, contact lenses, certain medications, or environmental conditions.
Although it’s a common chronic eye condition, dry eye isn’t something to ignore. Left untreated, it can lead to ongoing discomfort, blurred vision, or even damage to the surface of the eye. The good news? With the right care, you can manage it effectively and comfortably.
Dry eye looks a little different for everyone. Some of the most common symptoms include:
If any of these sound familiar, we recommend coming in for a dry eye evaluation. We’ll help you understand what’s causing your symptoms and what can help.
Every dry eye treatment plan starts with a thorough evaluation. We take time to understand your symptoms, health history, and daily habits.
We use non-invasive diagnostic tools like vital dye staining and Medmont topography to assess tear stability, inflammation, and ocular surface health.”
Our assessments may include imaging to evaluate the tear film and corneal surface, and tests to measure tear quality and eye pressure.
We’ll also talk through your lifestyle and environment, because sometimes minor changes can make a big difference. Once we understand what’s causing your dry eye, we can build a plan to help you feel better.
Prescription Drops & Supplements
When over-the-counter eye drops aren’t enough, we may recommend medicated options that reduce inflammation and help your eyes retain moisture. Omega-3 supplements may also support tear quality from the inside.
Lifestyle & Environmental Guidance
We’ll help you identify triggers—like dry air, screen use, or makeup—and give practical advice on managing them daily. Even slight adjustments in lighting or hydration can make a difference.
Lubrication Therapies
Some patients benefit from using preservative-free artificial tears or moisture-retaining eye gels. We’ll show you which products to use, when, and how to apply them effectively.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Dry eye is often a chronic condition. That’s why we schedule regular follow-ups to monitor progress, adjust treatment, and ensure you stay comfortable long-term.
Dry eye isn’t just a one-time irritation, it’s a condition that comes and goes, often influenced by weather, hormones, stress, or screen use. That’s why our goal isn’t just to offer a quick fix, but to create a plan that works for the long haul.
