When dry eye is more than dryness

Dry eye can show up as burning, watering, grittiness, redness, tired eyes, fluctuating vision, or contact lens discomfort. When symptoms keep returning, it may be time to look at tear film quality and gland function.

Burning or gritty eyes
Your eyes feel sandy, irritated, or raw even after using drops.
Watery eyes that do not make sense
Unstable tears can make dry eyes water while still feeling uncomfortable.
Blurry or fluctuating vision
Vision may shift during screens, reading, driving, or long workdays.
Contact lenses feel worse
Dryness and gland issues can make lenses harder to tolerate.
The solution

Dry Eye Light Therapy

LLLT is a light-based in-office treatment option some practices use for dry eye, especially when symptoms may be tied to meibomian gland dysfunction and tear film instability.

The dry eye visit helps determine whether LLLT, prescription therapy, lid care, or another plan makes the most sense for your eyes.

Why patients choose it

What changes when dry eye care gets specific

Treatment beyond drops
If artificial tears only help briefly, a deeper evaluation can help identify what else may be driving symptoms.
Gland-focused answers
Many dry eye cases involve meibomian gland dysfunction and tear film instability, not just low tear volume.
Light-based options
LLLT may be discussed when dry eye appears connected to gland function and the clinical picture fits.
A practical next step
Start with a visit before committing to a treatment path so the plan matches your eyes.

The practice

Dry eye care should start with the cause.

Wang Vision Institute provides dry eye evaluation alongside surgical vision correction, giving patients one provider team for surface symptoms, procedure planning, and follow-up care.

The practice includes dry eye care within its broader ophthalmology and refractive surgery services, so surface health can be considered before or after surgical planning.
Dr. Wysiadlowski is identified by the practice as Wang Vision's primary dry eye doctor and supports treatments such as plugs, iLux, Blephex, IPL, and AMCL.
Patients with chronic irritation, watering, burning, or fluctuating vision can be evaluated in the same specialist-led setting that handles LASIK, ICL, RLE, and cataract care.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Why do my eyes feel dry but also water?

Watery eyes can happen when the tear film is unstable. A dry eye visit can help evaluate whether gland function or irritation is part of the problem.

Is LLLT right for every dry eye patient?

No. LLLT may be discussed for certain dry eye cases, especially when gland dysfunction may be involved, but the right plan starts with an evaluation.

What if drops are not enough?

That is a common reason to schedule. The visit can look beyond temporary lubrication and review treatment options that may better match the cause.

Can I ask questions before choosing treatment?

Yes. The goal of the visit is to understand your symptoms, explain options clearly, and decide on the next step with the care team.

What can I expect at a dry eye evaluation?

At a dry eye evaluation at Wang Vision Institute, your provider will review your symptoms, medical history, medications, screen use, contact lens wear, and anything that makes your eyes feel dry, irritated, watery, blurry, or sensitive to light. They may perform tests to measure tear production, check tear quality, and see how quickly your tears evaporate. This can include fluorescein dye, Schirmer’s testing, and a close exam of the eyelids, tear film, and oil glands. Based on what’s causing your dry eye, they may recommend options like artificial tears, prescription drops, punctal plugs, LipiFlow/iLux, IPL, LLLT, or Wang Vision’s amniotic membrane contact lens treatment.

Still have questions?

A dry eye visit can answer the most important question first: what may be driving your symptoms and which options are worth discussing.
