Dry eye isn’t just annoying—it can affect your daily comfort, vision quality, and overall eye health. Whether it’s occasional irritation or chronic discomfort, we offer customized, up-to-date solutions that work for your lifestyle.
Dry Eye Care
What Causes Dry Eyes?
- Calgary’s dry air
- Prolonged screen use (reduced blinking) – Poor tear quality or production
- Contact lens wear
- Underlying autoimmune conditions (like Sjogren’s Syndrome)
- Medication side effects
Conditions We Address
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
Your eyelids contain glands that release oils to protect your tears. When they get clogged (like butter left out in the cold), your tears evaporate too fast—leading to irritation, burning, and blurred vision. Early treatment can restore gland function and prevent permanent damage.
Contact Lens Intolerance
Screen-heavy lifestyles can dry out lenses quicker than expected. We’ll help you explore newer lens technologies and strategies to stay comfortable all day.
Sjogren’s Syndrome
If dry eyes come with a dry mouth, it could point to an autoimmune condition. We’ll investigate and refer you for further testing (like a rheumatologist and lip biopsy) if needed.
Treatment Options We Offer
