How They Help
More Than Just Lubrication
Prescription therapies are designed to address inflammation, tear quality, and underlying contributors to chronic dry eye.
Reduce Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a common driver of dry eye symptoms. Targeted therapies can calm the ocular surface over time.
Improve Tear Quality
Healthy tears need the right balance of water, oil, and mucin. Treatment is personalized based on your dry eye type.
Support Healing
When the eye surface is irritated, it becomes more sensitive. The right plan helps restore comfort and clarity.
Fit Into Your Routine
Most plans combine in-office treatment with at-home support. We’ll make sure it’s realistic for your schedule.

Prescription Eye Drop FAQs
A few common questions we hear during dry eye visits.
How is a prescription drop different from artificial tears?
Artificial tears add temporary lubrication. Prescription drops are chosen based on your diagnosis and may support tear quality and reduce inflammation over time.
How long do they take to work?
Some people feel improvement quickly, while others need several weeks. We’ll set expectations and schedule follow-ups when needed.
Will I still need in-office treatment?
Sometimes. Many dry eye plans combine drops with treatments like thermal therapy, lid cleaning, or punctal plugs based on the cause.
Can you help me choose the right drop?
Yes. During a dry eye evaluation, we’ll recommend options that fit your symptoms, lifestyle, and comfort goals.
Details That Matter
A more helpful guide to Prescription Eye Drops for Dry Eye Relief
Dry eye is more than an occasional annoyance. If your eyes burn, feel gritty, or fluctuate between blurry and clear, it often means the tear film is not staying stable on the eye. Our goal is to identify what is driving your symptoms and build a plan you can realistically maintain.
For many patients, the fastest improvement comes from pairing the right in-office option with consistent at-home care. We talk through what you have tried, what helped, and what did not. Then we design a step-by-step approach that fits your comfort goals and your schedule.
If you are not sure which treatment page matches your needs, you do not have to guess. Start with an evaluation. We will recommend options based on your eyelids, tear quality, and daily triggers like screens, allergies, and contacts.
Quick ways to get more value from your visit
- Tell us when symptoms are worst, such as mornings, afternoons, or during screen time.
- Bring any drops or supplements you have tried so we can build a clearer plan together.
- If you wear contacts, share your wear schedule and comfort level so we can tailor treatment.
- Dry eye is often multi-factorial. A mix of in-office care and at-home habits usually works best.

Common questions
Clear answers help you move forward with confidence.
Is dry eye always a chronic problem?
Dry eye can be ongoing, but symptoms can improve significantly with the right plan. We focus on identifying the drivers, then combining in-office options with sustainable home habits.
Do I have to stop wearing contacts?
Not always. Some people can keep wearing contacts once dryness is better controlled. We will talk about comfortable options and a schedule that protects your eyes.
How do you diagnose the cause?
We evaluate the tear film and eyelids and ask detailed questions about symptoms and triggers. This helps us choose treatments that match what is actually driving your dryness.
How soon might I feel relief?
Some people notice changes quickly, while others improve over several weeks. We will set expectations and adjust your plan based on how your eyes respond.
Can I combine treatments?
Yes. Dry eye is often multi-layered. A thoughtful combination can be more effective than relying on a single option alone.
