Dry Eye Services | ClearLight Eyecare | N. Vancouver

Dry Eye Syndrome is a common yet often debilitating condition that can significantly impact comfort and vision clarity. At ClearLight Eyecare, Doctors of Optometry, we offer dedicated Dry Eye Services that go beyond simple artificial tears. We use advanced diagnostics to determine the root cause of your dry eye disease—whether it’s due to poor tear quality, insufficient tear production, or environmental factors. Our goal is to provide lasting, specialized relief that improves your eye comfort and overall quality of life.

Effective treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. Dry eyes can stem from various factors, including environmental irritants, underlying health conditions, medications, or issues with the meibomian glands that produce the oil layer of your tears. We perform in-depth evaluations that assess your tear film stability and gland function. This personalized approach is a hallmark of our care and ensures your treatment plan is precisely targeted to your specific needs. We don't just treat the symptoms; we treat the cause.

Dry eye is often a component of other eye health issues, making comprehensive care essential. If you wear corrective lenses, your dry eye diagnosis will be central to your Contact Lens Fitting, as we will select lens materials best suited for your condition. Furthermore, dry eyes can be a symptom or a complication of systemic conditions like diabetes, requiring close coordination with our Ocular Disease Management protocol. Our full-scope optometry clinic ensures that your dry eye treatment is seamlessly integrated into your complete eye care plan.

When should I seek specialized Dry Eye Services instead of just using over-the-counter drops?
If you rely on artificial tears more than a few times a day, experience chronic discomfort, blurry vision that fluctuates, or frequent redness, it's time to seek specialized care. Over-the-counter drops treat the symptom; our services treat the root cause.
Is the dry eye evaluation included in a Comprehensive Eye Examination?
While we always screen for signs of dry eye during your Comprehensive Eye Examination, a full, in-depth evaluation using specialized diagnostic technology to determine the specific type and severity of dry eye is a separate, dedicated service.
Can environmental factors like the dry climate in the Lower Mainland make my condition worse?
Yes, environmental factors can definitely contribute to dry eye symptoms. During your consultation, we discuss lifestyle and environmental adjustments, such as using humidifiers or protective eyewear, to help manage your condition effectively.
