Dry Eye

At Bonner Eye Clinic, located in Grand Rapids and Hibbing, we understand that paradoxically, excessive tearing can indicate dry eye syndrome. This condition occurs when the eyes produce additional tears to compensate for a compromised tear film or insufficient tear production. Our clinic emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy tear film, which consists of three layers: an oily layer for smoothness, a watery layer for cleansing, and a mucous layer for moisture retention. Symptoms of dry eye include burning, stinging, itching, a gritty sensation, sensitivity to light, and blurry vision, often worsening later in the day. We offer comprehensive dry eye testing and a variety of treatments to address the underlying causes and alleviate discomfort.
