WHAT IS DRY EYE DISEASE?

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when the quality of your tears isn’t strong enough to keep your eyes properly lubricated.

This can lead to ongoing discomfort and fluctuating vision throughout the day.

Common causes include:

  • Screen use and digital eye strain

  • Aging and hormonal changes

  • Contact lens wear

  • Environmental factors (wind, dry air, smoke)

  • Certain medications and health conditions

Common Dry Eye Symptoms

Dry eye doesn’t always feel like “dryness.”

You may experience:

  • Burning or stinging sensations

  • Redness or irritation

  • Blurry or fluctuating vision

  • Watery eyes (yes—this is common with dry eye)

  • Gritty or sandy feeling

  • Eye fatigue, especially with screens

If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to book a dry eye evaluation.

At Fort Saskatchewan Eyecare, we take a personalized approach to dry eye treatment based on the root cause of your symptoms.

Treatment options may include:

  • Prescription or over-the-counter eye drops

  • Lid hygiene and warm compress therapy

  • Recommendations for high-quality artificial tears

  • Lifestyle and environmental adjustments

  • Nutritional support (like omega-3 supplements)

  • Changes to contact lens wear or screen habits

We focus on creating a treatment plan that actually works for your day-to-day life.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Dry Eye

​

Dry eye isn’t just uncomfortable—it can impact your vision and eye health over time.

Without proper treatment, dry eye can:

  • Affect your ability to focus and work comfortably

  • Reduce contact lens tolerance

  • Increase risk of eye surface damage

  • Interfere with daily activities like driving or reading

The sooner you address it, the easier it is to manage.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (LUMECCA)

IPL is a non-invasive and painless procedure that is done in the doctor’s office. Intense pulses of light are applied underneath and above your eyelash line. Typically, the only sensation patients feel during the procedure is the application of moderate heat or an elastic-band sensation. Recovery is overnight. Many patients report improvement after only one treatment, though several may be required.

Radiofrequency Therapy (FORMA)​

This non-invasive dry eye treatment can be performed in our office. It uses Radio-Frequency energy to generate heat, which is applied to the skin around the eyes. This heat induces the dermal heating required to stimulate collagen formation, bringing white blood cells, anti-inflammatory mediators and stem cells to the skin around your eyes.
