Dry Eye Clinic and Eyelid Treatment Frigon Plourde optométristes

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF DRY EYES?

Increasingly common, dry eyes affect about 30% of the population. It can be caused by poor tear quality or insufficient tear production. If your eyes feel itchy (sensation of sand grains), burn, or water occasionally or recurrently, you might be part of that 30%.

Dry eye is a chronic, progressive condition that requires the expertise of an eye care professional to guide you through its treatment.

Our eye care professionals can not only diagnose dry eye but also create a personalized treatment plan to help improve your quality of life and visual well-being.

WHAT CAUSES DRY EYES?

Dry eyes can affect patients of all ages and result from various factors.

Here are a few of them:

• Age: Over 15% of people aged 60 and above are affected
• Environment (air conditioning, heating, pollution)
• Increased use of digital devices
• Medication or drug use
• Smoking
• Certain diseases
• Refractive surgery
• Dry eye can also be related to wearing contact lenses or occur following eye surgery.

In our clinic, our team will assess with you the factors associated with your dry eye issue and identify the best solutions to improve your visual comfort and relieve your dry eyes.
