Dry Eye and Allergies at Brookside Optometric Group

For dry eye disease, treatments may be as simple as over the counter tear supplements or prescription medications that increase the volume of tears produced. In some cases we will recommend punctal plugs. Plugs that block the drainage of tears from your eye can be inserted through a simple outpatient procedure in our office, increasing the volume of tears in your eye and moisturizing the surface of the lens.

Treatment of allergies typically involves selecting the right type of eye drops to reduce inflammation and alleviate your symptoms. Your Brookside Optometric Group doctor can discuss available options with you and help you select the best choice for your situation.
