Dry Eye Treatment

Cutting-edge technology is at the core of our dry eye diagnostic process at Sheridan Optometric. Our advanced techniques allow us to quickly and accurately diagnose dry eye syndrome and once we understand what’s causing your dry eyes, we can recommend one of the following treatments:

Heat Therapy

Heat therapy is a beneficial method for managing dry eye syndrome. By using a specialized heated device, it can help increase blood circulation, stimulate oil gland secretion, relieve dryness, reduce eye irritation, and promote overall eye comfort and health. Heated eye masks, can help soothe mild to moderate dry eye symptoms, such as puffy or red eyes. Heated masks can also be used alongside other treatments for even better results.

Punctal Plugs

Punctal plugs are small devices that are placed in your tear ducts, either in the openings of your eyelids or deeper into the tear ducts. These tiny plugs, about the size of a grain of rice, help keep moisture in your eyes by preventing the tears from draining away. They can reduce itching, burning, and redness.

Lubricating Eye Drops

Preservative-free lubricating eye drops are an effective remedy for dry eyes, providing relief and moisture to the eyes. It is important to choose eye drops specifically formulated for dry eyes and follow the instructions provided, as recommended by your optometrist.
