Planning to see a doctor
about your dry eye?
Here's what to expect!
If you experience symptoms of dry eye disease (also known as dry eye) like dry, even burning eyes, consider getting help and ask your doctor about a treatment that targets a source of underlying inflammation that can cause dry eye disease.
The great news is that you can get help for your dry eyes from nearly anywhere.
Understanding your options
You can go to an eye doctor near you (we even have a tool to find local eye doctors), but eye care checks can be effective via telemedicine, which means you can see an eye doctor online from the comfort of your own home. Just choose the path that feels right for you!
Preparing for your visit
Whether you get help in person or online, this doctor discussion guide can help get you familiar with the types of questions you may cover during your appointment. The more the doctor can understand the symptoms you are experiencing, the better they may be able to help identify the appropriate therapy for you.
Access to help for dry eye disease is only a few clicks away.
