Are you experiencing dry, itchy, burning eyes? You may be suffering from dry eye syndrome, a common condition that affects eye comfort and vision quality. At Snake River Eye Associates in Shelley, ID, we provide advanced dry eye treatment options to help you find long-lasting relief and restore your eye health.

What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort and vision disturbances. Common causes include:

Aging – Tear production naturally decreases over time.
Screen Time – Extended use of computers, phones, and tablets reduces blinking.
Contact Lens Wear – Can contribute to dryness and irritation.
Environmental Factors – Wind, smoke, air conditioning, and low humidity.
Medical Conditions – Autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and hormonal changes.
Medications – Antihistamines, antidepressants, and blood pressure medications can cause dryness.

⚠️ Red, irritated, or itchy eyes
