WHY DROPS AREN’T ENOUGH
Drops can mask the feeling, but they don’t fix what’s causing it. Dry eye disease is usually a treatable, root-cause problem — and left alone it tends to get worse, blurring your vision and making screens, driving, and contacts miserable. The first step to lasting relief is finding out exactly what’s going on.

For many patients, the plan includes advanced, drug-free options like IPL (intense pulsed light) and radiofrequency — treatments that target the cause of dry eye for lasting relief, not just temporary comfort. We’ll talk through whether they’re right for you at your visit.

"Amazing experience and care from the whole team at Eyes on the Lake- highly highly recommend them!!!!. Dr Schneider is very skilled, I am a challenging contact fit and she took the time to redo it to make it right. No other eye physician I have worked with has ever done that."
