What Is Dry Eye?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly. The imbalance can cause irritation, burning, redness, and even blurry vision.
Your tear film has 3 important layers:
- Oily layer: Prevents tears from evaporating too fast
- Watery layer: Hydrates and nourishes your eyes
- Mucus layer: Helps spread tears evenly across the eye surface
When these layers are out of sync, your eyes can feel dry and uncomfortable.
What Causes Dry Eye?
Several factors can contribute to dry eye, including:
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD): Blocked or malfunctioning oil glands in the eyelids.
- Reduced tear production: Due to aging, medications, or autoimmune conditions.
- Increased tear evaporation: From wind, dry air, or prolonged screen use.
- Eyelid inflammation (blepharitis) and Demodex mites.
- Environmental factors like air conditioning and heating.
If your eyes feel dry or irritated regularly, it’s time for a professional evaluation with our team.
Symptoms of Dry Eye
Think you’re dealing with dry eye? Watch for these common signs:
- Excessive tearing (yes, watery eyes can signal dryness too)
- Irritation or stinging sensations
- Grittiness or a feeling like something’s in your eye
- Fluctuating or blurry vision
- Redness and light sensitivity
- Eye fatigue
Restore Comfort with IPL Therapy for Dry Eye
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is one of the most effective in-office treatments for managing chronic dry eye, especially when meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the cause.
IPL uses gentle pulses of light to target inflammation around the eyelids and unclog blocked oil glands, helping your eyes produce healthier, more stable tears. It also reduces the presence of harmful bacteria and Demodex mites, both of which can worsen symptoms. At Foothill Optometric Center, we use the Lumecca-I by Inmode, an IPL system explicitly designed for the delicate eye area. Whether your dry eye is mild or stubbornly persistent, IPL could be a game-changer in your treatment plan.
Dry Eye Treatment Customized for You
Dry eye treatment requires a comprehensive approach. Depending on your condition, we offer:
- Therapeutic eye masks and eyelid sprays for soothing relief
- Medicated eye drops like Restasis, Xiidra, Cequa, and Meibo to reduce inflammation

Our team will recommend the best combination of treatments to help you regain comfort and eye health.
