Dry Eye Assessments and Products
Dry eyes are a very common complaint among a variety of patients. Since there are many reasons a person can have symptoms of dry eyes, it is essential to determine the root cause or causes of dry eyes. Even though dry eyes can become diseased and do not have a cure, they can be managed successfully with the right plan.
If you have been experiencing dry eye symptoms such as burning, itching, gritty sensation, watery eyes, light sensitivity, eye strain and intermittent visual blur for some time and are looking for long-term relief, then do come and see our optometrist for an evaluation. Dry eye assessments are not covered under OHIP plans; however, vision care benefits or health flex accounts can be used.

This product is available for pick-up or delivery. Contact-us for more information.
Meibomian gland disease is a result of a blockage or some other abnormality of the Meibomian glands in the eyelid. When these glands don’t secrete enough oil onto the surface of the eye, the tears evaporate too quickly, causing dry eyes. MGD is a leading cause of dry eye syndrome and can often contribute to blepharitis, an inflammation of the eyelid. Contact-us for more information.
