We Have the Solution to Your Dry, Irritated Eyes

Dry Eye Is as Common as It Is Uncomfortable — And We Can Help

Experts estimate that somewhere between 16 and 49 million Americans suffer from dry eye disease: up to 15% of the population.1 If your eyes feel itchy, watery, gritty, or stingy, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to accept your dry eye. You should go to an eye doctor for help!

But before you choose just any optometrist, consider this. Tears are made up of three components: water, mucus, and oil. You want an eye doctor who can tell which of these ingredients your tears are lacking, and why you’re low on it. Otherwise, all their solutions may be only temporary.

That’s where we come in. At University Vision Centre, we have the technology to diagnose the unique causes of your dry eye case, and the treatments to provide fast relief and lasting results.

“This was my first tine there, the staff and my doctor was amazing. The front desk staff was so nice and professional, along with the technicians being knowledgeable of every test given to me, and taking the time to explain each eye test to me. Dr. Garner is a great doctor, and literally explained every detail of my results, and answered all of my questions without talking over my head. Top notch care and treatment, would definitely recommend this place for others!”
