Summer is over and we are back into full-swing routines of school, work, and all the activities. Now that we’re out from under the sun all day and back into full workdays in front of our computers, our eyes end up feeling downright tired and uncomfortable by the end of the day.

Working all day on screens can lead to eye fatigue and dry eyes because when we do this kind of work for a long period of time, our blink rate slows. Extended time between blinks means our eyes are exposed to air for longer causing grittiness and discomfort.

You might be experiencing dry eye if you are dealing with blurry vision, tired eyes, eyes that burn, feeling gritty, or even constantly watering, and intolerance to wearing contact lenses. If you think you might have dry eye, we have the solutions for you in our Dry Eye Treatment Clinic!

You can book a Dry Eye Assessment with your Doctor of Optometry. The optometrist will determine the cause of your dry eye and create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. Our Dry Eye Assessments include collecting special measurements that inform your treatment plan.

Dry peepers getting you down? Show those eyes some love and book in with our Dry Eye Treatment Clinic now.
