Dry Eye Treatment

What Is Dry Eye Treatment?

Dry Eye Treatment is a specialized approach to managing chronic eye dryness caused by insufficient tear production or poor tear quality. Unlike temporary relief from artificial tears, our treatments target the root cause—restoring comfort, reducing irritation, and protecting long-term eye health.

Who It’s For

Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing persistent dryness, irritation, or discomfort in their eyes, seeking a long-term solution instead of relying on lubricating drops.

Stable Vision for 12+ Months

Stable Vision for 12+ Months

While vision stability is not a requirement for dry eye therapy, candidates should have consistent symptoms for several months to ensure the condition is chronic and benefits from advanced treatment.

Age 18 & Above

Age 18 & Above

Dry eye can affect adults of all ages, but treatments are especially helpful for individuals over 18 who experience dryness from contact lenses, digital screen use, or aging.

Healthy Eyes

I am very impressed with West Texas Eye Associates. My first appointment was with Dr. Bradley to determine that I was a candidate for cataract surgery and lenses. I was scheduled for surgery on both eyes with Dr. Shehz. One eye then 2 weeks the other eye. Both surgeries went as planned, were painless, quick and no recovery time. I had no issues seeing and had immediate results. Over the next week it got even better. The front desk staff was very efficient and friendly , the eye techs were all friendly and efficient, and the Doctors are well trained, explained the procedure in detail and provided excellent care. I could not be more pleased with the entire process and my new vision. I highly recommend West Texas Eye Associates to anyone with eye issues.
