Evaporative Dry Eye
Advanced Dry Eye Care at RNH Hospital
At RNH Hospital, our Dry Eye & Ocular Surface Department is dedicated to diagnosing and treating one of the most common yet often overlooked eye conditions like Evaporative Dry Eye. This condition occurs when the tears evaporate too quickly due to an imbalance or dysfunction in the tear film, often linked to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). It can cause discomfort, irritation, and fluctuating vision, affecting your daily life and visual comfort.
Our team of expert ophthalmologists and ocular surface specialists uses advanced diagnostic tools and modern therapies to identify the root cause of dryness and provide personalized treatment plans. We aim not only to relieve symptoms but also to restore the natural balance of your tear film for long-term eye health and comfort.
At RNH Hospital, dry eye care isn’t just about symptom control it’s about restoring clarity, comfort, and quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
Our specialists manage all forms and causes of dry eye disease, with a special focus on Evaporative Dry Eye and related conditions such as:
- Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD): Blocked or poorly functioning oil glands in the eyelids that cause tears to evaporate too quickly.
- Blepharitis: Inflammation of the eyelid margins leading to irritation and tear film instability.
- Contact Lens–Induced Dryness: Tear evaporation and discomfort related to long-term lens wear.
- Environmental Dryness: Caused by prolonged screen use, air conditioning, or dusty environments.
- Post-Surgical Dry Eye: Dryness following LASIK, cataract, or other eye surgeries.
- Hormonal or Age-Related Dry Eye: Reduced tear film stability due to hormonal changes or aging.
