Dry Eye

Dry eye syndrome is a condition which causes burning, itching, and/or excessive watering in the eye. Dr. Marc Bosem and his team at CorrectVision offer a number of treatments for dry eye that alleviate the symptoms and have you seeing more clearly and feeling more comfortable.

Although there are many causes for dry eye syndrome, the condition typically involves problems with the way the eye produces tears. There are two types of tears: lubricating tears and reflex tears. Lubricating tears are produced slowly and steadily throughout each day and contain a precise balance of nutrient proteins, water, mucous, oil, and antibodies that provide protection and nourishment to the eye’s top surface. Reflex tears serve to flood the eye when it is injured or irritated. This can happen when something gets in your eye, if you are around smoke, when you are cutting onions, or if the eye is scratched in some way. Reflex tears gush out in large quantities, ultimately causing the tear drainage system to become overloaded, resulting in a spill of tears out onto the cheek. Reflex tearing can also be caused by eye irritation from lack of lubricating tears. When the eye is suffering from not enough lubricating tears, or an excess of reflex tearing, you may have dry eye syndrome.

Dr. Bosem can treat dry eye syndrome with a number of effective options. Please contact our practice for more information on dry eye treatment here in the Weston and Fort Lauderdale, Florida region.

Patient Testimonials

I was somewhat skeptical about the success of LASIK surgery, but after having underwent the surgery in October, I would highly recommend the procedure. For someone who has been forced with living with the day-to-day rigors of glasses and contact lenses, LASIK surgery is like being reborn with 20/20 vision or vision very close to that. No more putting contact lenses in and out of your eyes. No more worrying about staying up late at night, wondering if you have been wearing your contact lenses for too long. You can go to bed falling asleep watching television, without being uncomfortable with your glasses on. And when you wake up in the morning you don't have to reach for your glasses and squint to see the clock radio. The procedure itself is very simple. From start to finish it takes about 10 minutes. Best of all the procedure is basically painless...Before the surgery, one of the technicians asked me to look at the clock on the wall and tell her what time it was. The clock was only ten or fifteen feet away, but I couldn't tell at all. Ten minutes later, after the surgery was over, I sat up in the chair and was asked the same question. I could see clear as day it was 12:50. For me, LASIK has proven to be a great option to wearing contacts and/or glasses. Thank you, Dr. Concool.
