Dry eyes is a common condition but nonetheless can cause serious discomfort without implementing any treatments. Dry eyes can happen because of a plethora of different reasons, but the first step to treating your symptoms will be to book an appointment.
Every patient is different, and every patient will have their own reason why they are experiencing dry eye symptoms.
Some causes include:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you might be suffering from dry eyes.
The optometrist will use different tests and instruments to evaluate the cause of your dry eyes. The tests and instruments that are used in the office include the iPen, InflammaDry and the Oculus Keratograph.
Bacteria, biofilm, and other problematic blockages can build up on the edges of your eyelids, inhibiting your meibomian gland’s ability to produce the oil for your tear film. As a result, these blockages can inflame your eyelids, causing a condition known as blepharitis.
BlephExTM is a device that uses a micro-sponge to gently cleanse the edges of your eyelids to remove bacteria and debris that have collected along your lidline, treating blepharitis symptoms.
BlephExTM can also help clean your eyelashes if you’re experiencing discomfort with your eyelash extensions.

“Dr. Chatoo is by far the kindest and most down-to-earth physician I have ever met. My cousin liked the glasses I got from her office so much that she called Dr. Chatoo to see if she could get herself a pair. Dr. Chatoo actually took the time to help my cousin find the glasses again, calling multiple different places and placing the order for her. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and I will be her patient for life. Thank you so much, Dr. Chatoo!”
“Had the best experience. Very chic and friendly place. Roya is one of the most friendly assistants. I came here for a visit before returning to uni, and she helped me get an appointment, AND my new eyeglasses ready all in less than a week. The doctor is also so detailed and helped explain everything concerning my eyes to me. Will definitely come back for my next check-up.”
