What is Dry Eyes?

Dry eye disease is a multifactorial condition caused by tear film instability, most commonly due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), inflammation, and poor tear quality, leading to symptoms such as dryness, burning, irritation, light sensitivity, and fluctuating vision. At Singh Vision & Singh Wellness, we take a comprehensive, personalized approach to dry eye diagnosis through detailed symptom assessment, evaluation of tear film stability, gland function, and advanced imaging to identify the root cause. Severity is quantified using both patient-reported outcomes and objective clinical findings, allowing us to track progress and deliver targeted, results-driven treatment. Beyond daily discomfort, dry eye can significantly impact quality of life by affecting reading, screen use, and driving, and is a critical factor in optimizing outcomes for LASIK, cataract surgery, and other vision correction procedures—making early diagnosis and advanced treatment essential for achieving the best visual results.

The Singh Dry Eye Approach

At Singh Vision & Singh Wellness, our dry eye treatment philosophy is guided by the internationally recognized TFOS DEWS II framework, emphasizing a comprehensive, stepwise approach to identifying and treating the root causes of dry eye disease. Rather than relying on temporary symptom relief, we develop personalized treatment plans that address meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), inflammation, and tear film instability at multiple levels.

Our approach may include targeted prescription eye drops to reduce inflammation and improve tear quality, punctal occlusion to preserve natural tears, and advanced regenerative options such as LacriFill for longer-lasting tear retention. For patients with more advanced or refractory disease, we incorporate Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radiofrequency (RF) therapy to restore meibomian gland function, reduce inflammatory burden, and enhance overall ocular surface health.

This integrated, multimodal strategy is designed not only to provide lasting relief from chronic dry eye symptoms, but also to optimize the ocular surface for patients undergoing LASIK, cataract surgery, or other vision correction procedures—ensuring more predictable measurements, improved healing, and superior visual outcomes.
