Dry Eye Treatment in Redding

Find Lasting Relief from Dry, Irritated Eyes

Do your eyes burn, sting, water excessively, or feel tired throughout the day? You may be suffering from Dry Eye Disease — a common condition that affects comfort, vision, and overall eye health.

At Shasta Professional Eyecare Center, we provide comprehensive dry eye treatment in Redding to help patients find long-term relief and improve their quality of life. Our doctors evaluate the underlying causes of dry eye and create personalized treatment plans designed to restore comfort and protect your vision.

Common Symptoms of Dry Eye

Dry eye symptoms can range from mild irritation to chronic discomfort. Common symptoms include:

1. Burning or stinging eyes
2. Redness and irritation
3. Watery eyes
4. Blurry or fluctuating vision
5. Light sensitivity
6. A gritty or sandy feeling
7. Eye fatigue while reading or using screens
8. Contact lens discomfort

Many patients are surprised to learn that watery eyes can actually be a symptom of dry eye syndrome.

What Causes Dry Eye?

Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough quality tears to properly lubricate the surface of the eye. Several factors can contribute to dry eye, including:

1. Aging
2. Screen time and digital eye strain
3. Environmental conditions
4. Contact lens wear
5. Certain medications
6. Hormonal changes
7. Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
8. Blepharitis and eyelid inflammation

Our doctors perform a detailed evaluation to determine the specific causes affecting your eyes.
