Dry Eye Treatment

Dry eye can make everyday tasks feel frustrating, from reading and driving to working on a screen or wearing contact lenses. At Summerlin Vision, we provide dry eye treatment in Las Vegas, NV, with personalized care designed to identify the cause of your symptoms and support healthier, more comfortable eyes.

Understanding Dry Eye

Dry eye happens when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can leave the surface of the eye irritated, inflamed, and unstable. While occasional dryness may happen because of weather, screen use, or allergies, ongoing symptoms may point to dry eye disease.

We take the time to evaluate your symptoms, tear quality, and overall eye health so we can recommend care that fits your needs.

Common Symptoms Of Dry Eye

Dry eye symptoms can vary from mild irritation to daily discomfort. Some patients notice symptoms only at certain times of day, while others experience ongoing issues that interfere with work, sleep, or vision.

Common signs of dry eye include:

Burning, stinging, or scratchy eyes
Redness or irritation
Watery eyes
Blurry or fluctuating vision
Light sensitivity
A gritty or foreign body sensation
Discomfort with contact lenses

What Causes Dry Eye?

There are several possible causes of dry eye. One of the most common is meibomian gland dysfunction, or MGD, which occurs when the oil glands in the eyelids are not working properly. Without enough healthy oil in the tear film, tears can evaporate too quickly.

Dry eye may also be related to aging, medications, allergies, autoimmune conditions, eyelid inflammation, long hours on digital devices, or environmental factors common in dry climates like Las Vegas.

Personalized Dry Eye Evaluation

Effective dry eye treatment starts with understanding what is causing the problem. During your evaluation, we look closely at the tear film, eyelids, and ocular surface. This helps us determine whether your dryness is related to inflammation, tear production, tear evaporation, gland function, or another underlying issue.

Our goal is to recommend care that addresses the source of your symptoms rather than only offering short-term relief.

Dry Eye Treatment Options

Treatment may include at-home care, prescription eye drops, eyelid hygiene, nutritional support, or in-office therapies depending on your diagnosis. For patients with evaporative dry eye or MGD, advanced treatment options may help improve tear stability and reduce inflammation.

Summerlin Vision also offers technology-based options such as OptiLight IPL for appropriate patients. We will explain your options clearly and help you understand what to expect from your treatment plan.
