Dry eye disease is caused by many different underlying factors. Without knowing the precise factors, dry eye symptoms are treated largely by guess work resulting in little or no improvement in dry eye symptoms. Unsuccessful treatment will eventually lead to long-term and irreversible damage of the cornea and meibomian glands. With our in depth dry eye testing, Drs. Cowan are able to determine the exact cause of your dry eye and institute an effective therapy plan. We’ll have you back to loving your eyes again in no time!
