Dry Eye Spa

The Dry Eye Spa

Dry eye and ocular surface disease can be bothersome, and in some cases have a major impact on your quality of life. The Dry Eye Spa at Ridgeview uses cutting edge technologies to treat and manage your dry eye. Dr. Dennis and her team will personally curate at-home and in- office therapies that will finally provide the relief you have been looking for.

What is dry eye?

There are two types of dry eye; Aqueous deficient dry eye (lack of watery tears produced) and Evaporative dry eye (lack of oily layer in the tear film). This causes an unstable tear film, causing the tears to evaporate before we get the chance to blink again. However, some may have a combination of both. Understanding the type of dry eye you have will determine what treatment is right for you.
