Dry Eye Treatment

Dry Eye

Dry Eye is more common today than ever before. In fact, more than 100 million people worldwide suffer from dry eye, which is often painful, persistent and annoying.

What’s up with that?
Near work – think computers, smartphones, video games – is likely to blame for the increase in dry eye symptoms. All of these activities interfere with the quality and quantity of blinks. Not enough quality blinks means not enough natural tears, which means dry eye symptoms.

Which means…
Hello, artificial tears. Which are great, but if you’re using them all day, every day, there just might be a better way…

Mann Eye Institute has Ocular Surface Treatment Centers in Houston and Austin dedicated to helping people just like you overcome their chronic dry eye.

Because while dry eye is common, it doesn’t mean you have to live with it!

WHAT’S AN OCULAR SURFACE TREATMENT CENTER?

The Mann Eye Ocular Surface Treatment Centers (Dry Eye Clinics) are run by dry eye specialists like Dr. Paul Mann and Dr. David Tremblay who are dedicated to helping patients like you See Life Better through customized treatment plans.

“People think it’s normal to have red, itchy, burning, irritated eyes.
But it’s not normal; it’s just incredibly common. And that’s not the same thing.”

- Dr. Mann

How Do I Know if I Have Dry Eye?

Common symptoms of dry eye can include dryness, grittiness, soreness, irritation, burning and eye fatigue. But since those are symptoms also commonly associated with allergies, infections and more, it’s important to determine if what you’re experiencing is in fact, chronic dry eye.

To do that, our dry eye specialist will perform a series of diagnostic tests to evaluate your unique ocular surface condition. This will help us determine the best course of action (specifically for you). Your personal dry eye assessment may include:

  • Tear Volume Measurement
  • Tear Evaporation Rate
  • Ocular Allergy Antigen Testing
  • Tear Sampling for Inflammation Markers
  • Meibomian Gland Imaging
  • Corneal Topography
  • Corneal Mapping for Aberrations
  • Anterior Segment Photography
  • Optical Coherence Tomography
  • Testing for Sjogren’s Syndrome

Once our doctors have a full assessment of what is causing your dry eye and the severity of your case, they can recommend a custom dry eye treatment plan to get you on your way to overcoming dry eye!

dry eye can be caused by many factors

By definition, dry eye is a condition whereby your tears are not providing adequate lubrication for your eyes. But why your tears are coming up short? Well, there are many possible factors.
