Are Your Eyes Trying to Tell You Something?

HELPING YOU FIND LASTING DRY EYE RELIEF

Do your eyes burn by the end of the day? Does it feel like there's something stuck in them? Maybe they water constantly, or you've found yourself reaching for eye drops every hour.

Sound familiar?

At Advanced Vision Care, we believe the first step isn't simply recommending another bottle of eye drops. It's understanding why your eyes are dry in the first place. Our eye doctors use advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate your tear film and meibomian glands, helping us create a treatment plan that's tailored to your eyes, not just your symptoms.

What Is Dry Eye Disease?

Healthy tears do much more than keep your eyes comfortable. They protect the surface of your eyes, keep your vision clear, and help wash away dust and debris.

Dry eye develops when your eyes don't produce enough tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly. In many cases, the tiny meibomian glands along your eyelids become blocked or stop producing enough healthy oil. Without that protective oil layer, tears evaporate more quickly, leaving your eyes feeling dry, irritated, and uncomfortable.

Signs You May Have Dry Eye

Dry eye doesn't feel the same for everyone. Some people notice occasional irritation, while others struggle with symptoms throughout the day.

Common signs of dry eye include:

  • Burning or stinging eyes
  • A gritty or sandy sensation
  • Watery eyes
  • Redness
  • Fluctuating or blurry vision
  • Light sensitivity
  • Difficulty wearing contact lenses
  • Eye fatigue after reading or screen use

Finding the Cause of Your Dry Eye

Two people can have the same symptoms but need completely different treatments. A dry eye evaluation helps identify what's causing your symptoms before we recommend treatment. Instead of simply treating irritation, we evaluate the health of your tear film and meibomian glands to understand how your eyes are functioning.

Using advanced diagnostic technology, including tear film analysis and meibomian gland imaging, Dr. Banh and Dr. Truong can identify changes that aren't visible during a routine eye exam. The more we understand about your eyes, the better we can personalize your treatment.

Tear Film Analysis

At our Fort Worth eye clinic, the Keratograph allows us to evaluate the quality and stability of your tear film, helping us identify changes that may be contributing to your symptoms.

LipiScan® Imaging

Many cases of dry eye are caused by blocked or unhealthy meibomian glands. At our Mansfield eye clinic, LipiScan® allows us to capture detailed images of these oil-producing glands inside your eyelids.

Personalized Dry Eye Treatment

Dry eye treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. Once we've identified the cause of your symptoms, we'll create a treatment plan that's designed around your eyes and lifestyle. Depending on your needs, your treatment may include:

  • Home eyelid hygiene recommendations
  • Artificial tears or lubricating eye drops
  • Lifestyle and environmental recommendations
  • Ongoing monitoring to evaluate your progress

As your eyes change, your treatment plan can change too. Our goal is to help you achieve lasting comfort—not temporary relief.
