Dry Eye Care

Dry Eye Syndrome is a source of frustration for many patients, particularly in Montana’s very dry climate. If you have dry eye syndrome, you may recognize a sensation of dryness, or you may experience other symptoms including a burning sensation, gritty or foreign body sensation, excessive tearing/watering, and even fluctuating vision.

Fortunately, the science of dry eye care has advanced in recent years, and Bauer & Clausen Optometry is excited to make the latest testing and treatment technology available for our patients.

This technology includes TearLab® Osmolarity Testing which measures the chemistry of the tears, meibography which is imaging of the oil glands involved with tear production, BlephEx® eyelid cleaning procedure, punctal plugs, and LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation which removes blockages in the Meibomian glands.

As with all services in our practice, we focus on your unique needs and goals and customize your own treatment plan.

If you experience symptoms of dry eye, schedule your dry eye evaluation today and take the first step toward improving your comfort, vision, and overall lifestyle!
