Dry Eye Treatment in Rancho Cucamonga

Dry Eye Treatment in Rancho Cucamonga — Real Relief for Chronic Discomfort

If your eyes feel dry, gritty, burning, or constantly irritated, you're not alone — and you don't have to just live with it. Dry eye treatment in Rancho Cucamonga at Opticore Eye Group starts with a thorough evaluation to understand what's causing your symptoms, not just masking them. Dry eye syndrome is a chronic condition with multiple underlying causes, and the right treatment plan depends on which factors are driving yours. We combine advanced diagnostics with personalized care to help you find lasting comfort.

What Causes Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears, or when your tears evaporate too quickly due to poor quality. Common causes include meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), prolonged screen use, contact lens wear, aging, certain medications, and autoimmune conditions like Sjogren's syndrome. Symptoms range from burning, stinging, and redness to paradoxical tearing — watery eyes that are actually a response to dryness. Many patients also experience blurry vision that fluctuates throughout the day.

How We Treat Dry Eye at Opticore

Treatment depends on the underlying cause identified at your evaluation. Options may include:

Prescription eye drops — including anti-inflammatory drops to address the root cause
In-office lid hygiene treatments — to clear blocked meibomian glands
Punctal plugs — small inserts that slow tear drainage and keep your eyes moist longer
Nutritional supplements — omega-3 fatty acids have strong evidence for improving tear quality
Specialty contact lenses — scleral lenses can dramatically improve comfort for severe dry eye patients

We'll discuss your options at your appointment and build a plan that works for your lifestyle.
