What Does Dry Eye Care Mean in Ophthalmology?

Dry Eye Care in ophthalmology focuses on diagnosing and managing conditions that affect the eye’s ability to maintain a stable tear film. Tears play an important role in protecting the eye, maintaining clear vision, and keeping the surface of the eye comfortable.

When the tear film becomes unstable or insufficient, patients may experience symptoms such as dryness, irritation, burning sensation, redness, or eye fatigue. These symptoms can become more noticeable during prolonged screen use, exposure to air conditioning, or environmental factors. At Gangnam St. Mary’s One Eye Clinic, Dry Eye Care includes advanced diagnostic evaluation and targeted treatment options designed to improve tear film stability and relieve eye discomfort.

One of the key treatments offered is AQua CEL IPL Laser, a specialized ophthalmology treatment that uses controlled light energy to support the function of eyelid glands involved in tear production.By improving the function of these glands, the treatment may help support a healthier tear film and improve overall eye comfort. Through careful examination and personalized treatment planning, the ophthalmology specialists provide Dry Eye Care that focuses on both symptom relief and long-term eye health.
