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!

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.
