Dry Eye Care Designed
Around the Cause,
Not Just the Symptoms
If your eyes frequently feel dry, irritated, watery, tired, or blurry, you’re not alone. Dry eye disease is one of the most common conditions we see at Towne & Country Eyecare Associates, and it’s often far more complex than simply needing eye drops.
Our dry eye clinic takes a deeper look at what’s causing your symptoms. Using detailed diagnostics, personalized treatment plans, and innovative technology, we help patients find meaningful relief while improving the long-term health of their eyes.
Whether your symptoms are mild or have been affecting your quality of life for years, we’re here to help you understand what’s happening and what can be done about it.
Could Dry Eye
Be Affecting You?
Many patients are surprised to learn that dry eye doesn’t always feel “dry.” Symptoms can vary significantly from person to person. Common symptoms include:
- Burning or stinging eyes
- Excessive watering or tearing
- Blurry or fluctuating vision
- Redness and irritation
- Gritty or sandy sensations
- Eye fatigue
- Contact lens discomfort
- Light sensitivity
- Difficulty reading or using digital devices
If these symptoms sound familiar, a comprehensive dry eye evaluation can help identify the underlying cause.
Understanding the Cause
of Your Dry Eye
Successful dry eye treatment starts with understanding why your eyes are uncomfortable. We perform detailed testing to evaluate your tear film, eyelid health, oil glands, and ocular surface. This allows us to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Our dry eye evaluations may include:
- SPEED symptom questionnaires
- Tear break-up time testing
- Schirmer’s testing
- Meibography to evaluate gland health
- Ocular surface staining
- Tear quality assessments
- Eyelid and gland evaluations
We believe that patient education is a critical part of successful treatment. We’ll review your results with you, explain what we’re seeing, and help you understand your options every step of the way.
Tera Dry Eye
Analysis
Our Tera Dry Eye Analyzer helps us gather detailed information about your eye health and tear function.
Using imaging and diagnostic testing, we can evaluate the health of your meibomian glands, measure tear stability, and document changes over time.
One of the most valuable features of this technology is the ability to compare your results throughout treatment, allowing you to see how your eyes are responding and helping us make informed adjustments when needed.
For many patients, seeing the source of their symptoms firsthand makes it easier to understand their condition and feel confident moving forward with treatment.
Personalized
Dry Eye Treatments
Because dry eye can have many causes, treatment is rarely one-size-fits-all. Depending on your diagnosis, your treatment plan may include:
At-Home Therapies:
- Eye masks and heat therapy
- Eyelid sprays and cleansers
- Omega-3 supplementation
- Lifestyle and environmental recommendations
Medical Dry Eye Treatments:
- Medicated eye drops
- Eyelid Debridement with NuLids Pro (a form of exfoliation to clear the eyelid margins)
- Punctal plugs
- Amniotic membrane therapy
- Advanced ocular surface treatments, like Tixel-i
Our goal is to recommend the right combination of therapies to improve comfort, stabilize vision, and support long-term eye health.
Tixel-i for
Dry Eye Relief
Towne & Country Eyecare Associates is proud to offer Tixel-i as part of our growing dry eye clinic.
Tixel-i is a noninvasive treatment designed to support healthier tear production and improve the function of the glands that keep your eyes comfortable and lubricated. For patients struggling with ongoing symptoms despite using drops, masks, or other therapies, Tixel-i can offer another pathway toward relief.
During your evaluation, we’ll determine whether Tixel-i may be appropriate for your specific condition and treatment goals.
Tixel C for
Eyelid Rejuvenation
In addition to therapeutic dry eye treatments, we also offer Tixel C, a treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of the eyelid area. Tixel C can help address concerns such as:
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Crepey eyelid skin
- Mild eyelid laxity
- Cosmetic eyelid rejuvenation
If you’re interested in both dry eye treatment and cosmetic eyelid improvements, our team can discuss whether Tixel therapies may be right for you.
