Dry Eye Treatment in Bellevue, Washington
Dry eye disease is extremely common, especially as we age, and newer studies show it affects far more people than previously recognized. Still, many adults assume their symptoms are just part of daily life and never seek care.
At Specialty Eyecarè Centre, we often meet patients who have lived with dryness, irritation, or fluctuating vision for years without a diagnosis. Today we understand that dry eye is a medical condition involving the tear film, oil glands, and inflammation — and while it can’t be cured, it can be managed very effectively with modern treatments.
For patients with glaucoma, dry eye management is especially important. Long‑term drop use and ocular surface changes can worsen dryness, so coordinated care helps protect both comfort and long‑term eye health. Even without obvious “dryness,” dry eye can impact daily activities by causing blurred vision or eye fatigue. Most cases occur because the eyes don’t produce enough tears or because the tear film evaporates too quickly, often due to meibomian gland dysfunction.
What causes Dry Eye?
What are common symptoms of Dry Eye?
Dry eye symptoms can worsen with everyday exposures — including dry climates, wind, smoke, chemicals, and long hours on digital devices. Simple at‑home strategies can make a meaningful difference. Many patients benefit from using a humidifier in their bedroom or workspace, wearing protective eyewear outdoors, and taking regular breaks during computer use to reduce strain and evaporation.
Dry eye can be managed as an ongoing condition. The first step is to determine the underlying cause of the dry eye.
