If you’re experiencing stinging, burning, or gritty eyes, you’re not alone. Dry Eye Syndrome is a common condition that affects many patients across Palm Beach County, including Boynton Beach, Palm Springs, Wellington, and Jupiter. At Florida Eye & Ear, advanced diagnostics and customized treatment plans help relieve symptoms and protect long-term vision.
What Is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly, leading to irritation and visual discomfort.
- Burning or stinging sensations
- Eye redness
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Grittiness or a sandy feeling
- Sensitivity to light
- Excessive tearing as a response to dryness
Environmental factors such as air conditioning, extended screen time, and windy coastal conditions—common in areas like Boynton Beach and Wellington—can worsen symptoms.
