Dry Eye

Dry eye is one of the most common, underdiagnosed, and undertreated diseases. Idaho Falls’ dry climate and the increased use of computers, phones, and tablets significantly adds to dry eye symptoms. Not only is dry eye very annoying because of its stinging and burning, but it also can blur vision. This can decrease both quality of life and productivity. Also, many patients confuse the irritation and tearing from dry eye with the itchiness of allergies, which leads them to treat their eyes with eyedrops that do not most effectively relieve their symptoms. Our office frequently diagnoses and treats dry eye, which helps our patients focus on work and enjoying life instead of their dry eyes.
