Dry Eye Relief in NYC: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments at West Village Eye

What Is Dry Eye?

If your eyes feel gritty, itchy, or constantly irritated, you might be dealing with dry eye syndrome. It's incredibly common, especially in a fast-paced city like NYC where screen time, pollution, and indoor climate control are part of daily life.

At West Village Eye Optical Boutique, we offer advanced care for dry eye sufferers with cutting-edge treatment options to restore comfort and clarity.

Common Causes of Dry Eye

  • Aging (natural decrease in tear production)

  • Contact lens wear

  • Prolonged screen use (reduced blinking)

  • Dry indoor air from heaters or air conditioners

  • Outdoor wind or smoke exposure

  • Hormonal changes (like menopause)

  • Side effects of medications (antihistamines, blood pressure meds)

Fun Fact: Even living in NYC's dense, high-pollution environment can contribute to dry eye symptoms!

How We Treat Dry EyE

We personalize every treatment plan depending on the cause and severity of your symptoms.

Home Remedies and Lifestyle Tips

  • Over-the-counter artificial tears

  • Blinking exercises and screen-time breaks

  • Using a humidifier

  • Protective eyewear outdoors

Advanced Clinical Treatments

  • Punctal Plugs: Tiny, biocompatible plugs are inserted into your tear ducts to help retain natural tears on the surface of your eyes longer, providing ongoing moisture and comfort. This quick, painless procedure is especially helpful for moderate to severe dry eye cases.

  • Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy: Gentle heat stimulates oil gland production, helping stabilize your tear film.

  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy: Originally developed for dermatology, IPL reduces inflammation and unclogs blocked meibomian glands for lasting relief.

All of these treatments are non-invasive, pain-free, and can significantly improve eye comfort over time.
