Did you know there’s a connection between glaucoma and dry eye disease?

Dry eye can cause symptoms like burning, irritation, and blurred vision—and in some cases, treatments for glaucoma may contribute to or worsen these symptoms.

Understanding this relationship is important for protecting your vision and staying comfortable day to day.

If you’re experiencing eye irritation or have questions about your eye health, our team is here to help.
