Dry Eye

Do your eyes feel dry, gritty, or irritated by the end of the day? You may be experiencing Dry Eye Disease, a common but often underdiagnosed condition that can affect your comfort, vision, and quality of life. At Glandorf Vision Group, we can help identify the root cause of your dryness to provide personalized, lasting relief.

What is dry eye?

Dry eye is a common condition that happens when your eyes don't make enough tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly. Tears keep the surface of your eyes smooth, comfortable, and healthy.


When your eyes don't stay properly lubricated, you may experience symptoms such as: a gritty or sandy feeling, burning or stinging, redness, blurry vision that comes and goes, watery eyes, light sensitivity, and eye fatigue. Dry eye can be caused by aging, certain medications, spending long hours on digital devices, wearing contact lenses, environmental factors like wind or dry air, or underlying health conditions.


The good news is that dry eye is treatable. During a comprehensive eye examination, we can determine the cause of your symptoms and recommend a personalized treatment plan to help restore comfort, improve vision, and protect the long-term health of your eyes.

Advanced Dry Eye Technology

If artificial tears aren't providing lasting relief, it may be time to treat the underlying cause of your dry eye.


Our office offers two advanced, non-invasive therapies—Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)—to help restore healthier tear production and improve long-term eye comfort.


Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) uses carefully controlled pulses of light to reduce inflammation around the eyelids and improve the function of the meibomian glands, which produce the protective oil layer of your tears. By restoring healthy oil flow, IPL helps reduce tear evaporation and relieve common dry eye symptoms such as burning, redness, irritation, and fluctuating vision.


Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) uses gentle therapeutic light to naturally warm the eyelids and stimulate cellular healing. This relaxing treatment encourages healthier meibomian gland function, improves oil production, and supports your eyes' natural ability to stay lubricated.


When combined, IPL and LLLT provide a comprehensive approach to treating dry eye disease by addressing inflammation, improving tear quality, and promoting healthier eyelid glands. Many patients experience reduced symptoms, clearer vision, and improved comfort without relying solely on eye drops.


If you're tired of living with dry, irritated eyes, schedule a dry eye evaluation today to learn if IPL and LLLT are right for you.
