Dry Eye Work-Up
Lasting relief starts with an accurate diagnosis. Our comprehensive dry eye work-up pinpoints exactly what is driving your symptoms, so treatment targets the cause and not just the discomfort.
The two kinds of dry eye
Dry eye has two main causes, and most people have a mix of both. Identifying which one dominates is the key to effective treatment.
- Evaporative — the oil glands underperform, so tears evaporate too fast
- Aqueous deficient — the eyes simply don’t make enough tears
What the work-up includes
We evaluate every layer of your tear film along with the health of the glands and ocular surface, using advanced imaging and diagnostics.
- Symptom and lifestyle assessment
- Tear quality, quantity, and stability testing
- Meibomian gland imaging (meibography) and expression
- Ocular surface staining and analysis
Your personalized plan
From the findings, your doctor builds a targeted treatment plan that may include in-office therapy, at-home care, and follow-up to track your progress.
Common Questions
Dry Eye Work-Up, answered.
Why can’t I just use eye drops?
Drops can ease symptoms temporarily, but they rarely fix the underlying cause. The work-up lets us treat the source so relief lasts.
