About us
A feeling of dryness in the eyes is something we have all experienced. It often occurs with fatigue in the evening, prolonged reading or device use, dehydration, or exposure to windy or dusty environments. Certain medications, like antihistamines, can also cause dryness. However, if this happens frequently, causes significant discomfort, or lasts for hours, it may suggest a tear film problem.
Tears that protect the eye surface may be insufficient in quantity or lacking key components. Various conditions affecting the conjunctiva (the mucous membrane of the eye, which appears as the white of the eye), cornea, eyelids, or the blink mechanism could be the cause.
Determining the root cause and recommending treatment—ranging from lid scrubs to tear replacement drops or medications—are key steps your dry eye specialist can take. At Andover Eye Institute, we are actively developing the next generation of therapies, building on decades of innovation, with help from subjects who qualify for dry eye evaluation studies.
To learn more, reach out to our doctors, nurses, or clinical study staff. Benefits include access to the latest tests from dry eye experts, helping to develop new therapies, meeting others with similar conditions, and being well-compensated for your time. Join our study group today!
