Dry Eye Treatment in Staten Island
Dry eye disease is one of the most common and most undertreated eye conditions affecting adults today. If you experience persistent burning, stinging, watering, blurry vision, or a feeling of grittiness in your eyes, you may be suffering from chronic dry eye syndrome. At Focus Vision Care, Dr. Jyotsna Jain specializes in diagnosing and treating dry eye disease with personalized treatment plans tailored to the root cause of your symptoms.
We are home to Staten Island's Elite Dry Eye Spa — a dedicated treatment center offering advanced therapies for chronic dry eye that go far beyond artificial tears.
What causes Dry Eye Disease?
Dry eye is most often caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) — a blockage or dysfunction of the oil-producing glands along the eyelid margins. Other common causes include:
Prolonged screen time and reduced blinking
Contact lens wear - Environmental factors (air conditioning, wind, low humidity)
Hormonal changes (menopause, pregnancy)
Aging — tear production naturally decreases after age 50
Autoimmune conditions such as Sjögren's syndrome
Certain medications (antihistamines, antidepressants, blood pressure drugs)
Eyelid inflammation (blepharitis)
Symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome:
Burning or stinging sensation in the eyes
Persistent redness or irritation - Blurred vision, especially at the end of the day
Excessive watering or tearing (a reflex response to dryness)
Feeling of sand or grit in the eye
Discomfort with contact lens wear
Sensitivity to light or wind
Eye fatigue after screen use
