If you've been struggling with blurry vision, it might not be your glasses or contacts. It could be dry eye. At East Main Vision Clinic, we help patients in Puyallup and surrounding areas find lasting relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of dry eye with advanced treatment options tailored to their unique needs.

Understanding Dry Eye

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to inflammation, irritation, and a host of uncomfortable symptoms that affect your quality of life. While anyone can develop dry eye, it’s especially common with aging, prolonged screen time, contact lens wear, meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharitis, and certain medical conditions or medications.

How Dry Eye Causes Blurry Vision

One of the most frustrating symptoms of dry eye is blurry vision. When your tear film is unstable or inadequate, the surface of your eye becomes irregular, which interferes with the way light is focused, leading to fluctuating or hazy vision.

Other common symptoms of dry eye include:
 

• Burning or stinging sensation

• Redness and irritation

• Watery eyes

• Grittiness or the feeling of something in your eye

• Eye fatigue, especially during screen use or reading

If you notice these symptoms alongside blurry vision, it’s time to consider professional care.

Effective Dry Eye Treatments at Our Dry Eye Center

At our clinic, we offer personalized dry eye evaluations and a range of cutting-edge treatments to restore eye comfort and clarity:
 

• BlephEx™: A gentle in-office procedure that exfoliates the eyelid margins to remove debris and bacteria that contribute to inflammation and dry eye.

• iLux® Thermal Pulsation: This treatment uses targeted heat and compression to unblock the meibomian glands, promoting healthy oil flow and improving tear quality.

• OptiLight IPL: Intense Pulsed Light therapy reduces inflammation around the eyes, improves meibomian gland function, and helps stabilize the tear film.

Our goal is to treat the underlying causes of your dry eye, not just the symptoms, so you can enjoy lasting relief.
