If you live in Chino, CA, and struggle with burning, itchy, or irritated eyes, you're not alone. Our dry and windy climate, along with extended hours of screen time whether at work, school, or during commutes through Southern California, can take a serious toll on your eye health. At Keen Eye Optometry, we specialize in helping our Chino neighbors find lasting relief from dry eye symptoms through personalized treatment plans that address the root cause of discomfort.

Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is poor. Common causes include aging, screen overuse, contact lens wear, certain medications, environmental factors like wind or dry air, and underlying health conditions. Symptoms may include:

• Burning or stinging sensations

• Itchy or gritty eyes

• Redness and inflammation

• Excessive tearing

• Blurred or fluctuating vision

Left untreated, dry eye can worsen and potentially damage the surface of your eyes.
 

Why You Need to See a Doctor for Dry Eye

At Keen Eye Optometry, our doctor performs a thorough dry eye evaluation to identify what’s really behind your discomfort. This includes assessing the quality and quantity of your tears, examining the surface of your eyes for damage, and checking for signs of inflammation or meibomian gland dysfunction. We also evaluate lifestyle and environmental factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. By getting to the root of the issue, we can create a treatment plan that offers real, lasting relief rather than just temporary fixes.
 

Advanced Dry Eye Treatments at Keen Eye Optometry

We offer a comprehensive approach to dry eye management that goes beyond drugstore drops. Some of the advanced treatments available at our office include:

• Punctal Plugs: These tiny, biocompatible devices are inserted into your tear ducts to block drainage, helping your natural tears stay on the eye’s surface longer.

• Prescription Eye Drops: Medications can reduce inflammation and help your eyes produce more tears.

• Heat Therapy and Lid Hygiene: Warm compresses and in-office lid cleaning can be very effective, especially if your dry eye is caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

• Lifestyle and Nutritional Guidance: We’ll help you manage screen time, adjust your environment, and may recommend omega-3 supplements to support tear quality.

• Customized At-Home Care Plans: We’ll design a personalized care routine that fits your lifestyle and provides long-term symptom control.
