Symptoms of Dry Eye Disease

​

Dry eye symptoms can be more varied than most people expect:

​

- Persistent dryness, scratchiness, or a gritty feeling
- Burning or stinging in the eyes
- Watery eyes (excessive tearing can actually be a sign of dry eye)
- Blurred vision that improves when you blink
- Discomfort with contact lenses
- Eye fatigue or difficulty with prolonged screen use

How We Diagnose Dry Eye

 

Dry eye is diagnosed through a thorough evaluation of your tear film, tear production, and the surface of your eye. Dr. Burgess uses advanced imaging and testing to determine the type and severity of your dry eye, which guides treatment.
