Dry Eye Treatments in Okotoks

Dry eyes are a common condition many people face around the globe. There are several causes of dry eyes, but nearly all can be broken down into 2 separate categories: insufficient tear volume and poor tear quality.

• Insufficient tear volume refers to the lack of tears being produced from your meibomian and lacrimal glands.
• Poor tear quality refers to a lack of certain ingredients used in your tear film. These ingredients are meibum, water, and mucin.
