Dry Eye Disease

Find a Doctor & Schedule 646-929-7950

Dry eye disease is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or there is excessive evaporation, causing chronic dryness and discomfort. If left untreated, this condition can lead to complications such as scarring and vision loss.

NYU Langone ophthalmologists work with you to diagnose dry eye disease and create a treatment plan that suits your needs, with the goal of relieving symptoms and preserving eye health.

Treatment for Dry Eye Disease

For mild symptoms, lifestyle modifications and artificial tears may be all that’s needed. Medication and minimally invasive procedures may be the best treatment for those with more severe dry eye disease.
