What is a Dry Eye Exam?
A dry eye exam is a specialized assessment conducted by eye care professionals to evaluate the health of the ocular surface and tear film. During this examination, skilled optometrists at eye&I™ Optometry employ advanced diagnostic techniques to determine the underlying causes of dry eye syndrome. They examine the tear production, tear quality, and the overall ocular health to create an individualized treatment plan.
