Find relief from dry eyes with the latest technology and research.

Dry eye syndrome, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a common ocular condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. It is characterized by a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye, leading to discomfort and potential damage to the cornea.

At Optical Illusions, Dr. Wilson uses the latest in dry eye research and technology to help you overcome your dry eyes. Below are a list of available treatment options.

1. Prescription Medications: In more severe cases, you may be prescribed anti-inflammatory eye drops such as cyclosporine (Restasis) or lifitegrast (Xiidra) to reduce inflammation and improve tear production.

2. Punctal Plugs: For patients with moderate to severe dry eye, Dr. Wilson can insert tiny plugs (punctal plugs) into the tear ducts to block drainage and conserve tears on the ocular surface.

3. Advanced Therapies: In severe cases, you might be advised to employ more advanced treatments such as amniotic membrane grafts to promote healing and alleviate symptoms.

4. Scleral Lenses: Many patients with dry eye have difficulty wearing contact lenses. Scleral lenses not only allow you to see without glasses, but they are also an excellent therapy for patients with dry eye.

Dry eye is a chronic condition which requires ongoing care and management. With the personalized care offered at Optical Illusions, you will finally have the quality of life you have been seeking as someone who suffers from dry eye syndrome. Let us help you today.
