Dry Eyes Treatment in Phoenix, AZ

#1 Optometrist for Dry Eyes Treatment in Phoenix, AZ

Do your eyes burn, itch, or ache? Do they feel heavy, sore, and fatigued — especially after looking at a screen? You may be suffering from dry eye syndrome, one of the most common yet often undertreated eye conditions in the Phoenix area. Arizona's Vision is your trusted partner for dry eyes treatment in Phoenix, AZ.

What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome is caused by a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. The condition can range from mild irritation and discomfort to significant inflammation and even scarring on the front surface of the eye if left untreated. Living in the hot, dry Arizona climate significantly increases the risk of developing dry eye symptoms.

Common Causes of Dry Eyes

• Excessive screen time (computers, phones, tablets)
• Dry, arid Arizona climate and indoor air conditioning
• Prolonged contact lens wear
• Certain prescription medications (antihistamines, antidepressants)
• Hormonal changes, particularly in women
• Autoimmune conditions (Sjögren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis)
• Poor diet and nutritional deficiencies (omega-3)
• Post-LASIK changes in tear film

Dry Eye Symptoms to Watch For

• Persistent burning or stinging sensation in eyes
• Redness and sensitivity to light
• Blurry or fluctuating vision
• Feeling like something is in your eye (foreign body sensation)
• Excessive tearing or watery eyes (a reflex response)
• Eye fatigue, especially during extended screen use or reading
