Dry eye can cause irritation, burning, and fluctuating vision that affects work, screen time, and daily comfort. At Eye Rx - Stone Ridge, our Dry Eye Center focuses on identifying what is driving symptoms and building a care plan designed for long-term ocular surface health.
Dedicated Care for Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Disease
Eye Rx - Stone Ridge provides medically focused dry eye care for patients in Aldie, Stone Ridge, and Greater Loudoun County. Many patients seek help after symptoms persist or when comfort continues to decline despite basic at-home steps.
Our approach begins with careful evaluation using dry-eye diagnostic tools and a clear review of the results. From there, we create an individualized plan and recommend follow-up when monitoring is needed.
What Is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry eye occurs when the tears do not adequately lubricate and protect the surface of the eye. Symptoms can range from mild irritation to frequent discomfort and vision fluctuations that affect daily life.
Dry eye can be influenced by tear quality, inflammation, environmental factors, screen use, contact lens wear, and underlying health considerations. A careful evaluation helps identify what is contributing to each patient.
A Diagnostic Approach That Looks Beyond Symptoms
Dry eye is not always resolved with drops alone. Many patients have multiple contributing factors, which is why treatment plans must be individualized.
Our Stone Ridge team uses dry eye diagnostics to understand better what is driving symptoms, then recommends practical next steps and follow-up based on your needs. The goal is to improve comfort, support tear quality, and protect the ocular surface over time.
