Dry eye is common — and it's especially common in the Lowcountry, where sun, wind, AC, and screens conspire against your tear film. We build a treatment plan that actually moves the needle.
Tear-film evaluation, meibomian gland imaging, blink-rate observation, ocular-surface staining. We look at the cause, not just the symptom.
Lid hygiene (We Love Eyes Lid Scrub is our go-to), warm compresses, lubricating drops matched to your tear film, nutrition guidance (omega-3 supplementation, hydration habits), and in-office treatments where indicated.
Dr. Carrie has built her dry-eye protocol around products that are safe for long-term daily use — no preservatives in the wrong places, no recurring irritants.
Burning, gritty, watery, or fluctuating-vision eyes. Eyes that feel worse at the end of the day. Discomfort with contact lenses. Symptoms that don't improve with over-the-counter drops.
