What is dry eye syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears or the right quality of tears to stay properly lubricated. Symptoms include burning, stinging, redness, and blurry vision. Avalon Eye Care's dry eye clinic in Vaughan diagnoses and treats all forms of dry eye disease.

Is dry eye covered by OHIP in Ontario?

The diagnosis and management of dry eye disease is partially covered by OHIP in Ontario. Your optometrist visit for dry eye assessment is covered under certain conditions. Some specialized treatments and prescription drops may have additional costs. Avalon Eye Care offers direct insurance billing to maximize your coverage.

How do optometrists treat dry eye?

Treatment depends on the cause and severity. Options include preservative-free artificial tears, prescription eye drops like Restasis or Xiidra, Neurolens lenses (which reduce eye strain that worsens dry eye), omega-3 supplements, lid hygiene therapy, and in some cases punctal plugs. Avalon Eye Care in Vaughan creates a personalized treatment plan for each patient.

How long does dry eye treatment take to work?

Most patients see improvement within 4–12 weeks of starting treatment, though this varies. Prescription drops like Restasis can take 3–6 months to reach full effectiveness. Your optometrist at Avalon Eye Care in Vaughan will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
