Dry Eye Treatment Options

Total Vision Del Mar offers numerous therapies for dry eyes, including:

• Lubricating Eye Drops: Artificial tears can reduce many dry eye symptoms by hydrating the eye’s surface. Our eye doctors can recommend various eye drops depending on the cause and severity of your dry eyes.
• Steroids: Specific topical steroids have been found to reduce dry eye symptoms quickly and effectively, even in severe cases. Many of these steroids have anti-inflammatory effects to reduce the swelling that often comes with dry eyes.
• Punctal Plugs: By inserting small plugs into your tear ducts, we can prevent your tears from draining too quickly. Using punctal plugs alongside topical treatments can be more effective than using topical treatments alone.
• Eye Masks: Compression masks reduce inflammation and express blockages with gentle pressure, heat, and moisture. Once we show you how to use these masks, you should be able to use them at home without supervision.
• Scleral Lenses: These contact lenses cover the entire surface of the eye and create a space that can be filled with hydrating fluids. They are often an excellent choice for people whose dry eyes prevent them from comfortably wearing other contact lenses.
• Eyelid-Cleansing Wipes: Cleansing wipes can support and improve the effects of other dry eye treatments. We offer a variety of cleansing wipes from leading brands at our practice.
