What Is Dry Eye, & Why Does It Matter?

Dry eye disease happens when your eyes don’t produce enough healthy tears or when those tears don’t stay in place. It can lead to burning, itching, blurry vision, light sensitivity, or that constant gritty feeling. We take dry eye seriously.

Dr. Reeves offers full evaluations to find the root cause, then builds a plan that fits your lifestyle, your symptoms, and your goals.

In-Office Treatments

We offer targeted dry eye therapy in our Myrtle Beach clinic, including treatments that gently heat and express your meibomian glands to restore normal tear function.

These procedures are non-invasive and ideal for patients with moderate to severe dry eye, especially when over-the-counter drops no longer do the job.

Take-Home Relief Kits

Some patients find lasting relief through consistent home care. We offer curated dry eye kits that include heat masks, omega-3 supplements, and physician-recommended products that support your tear film and reduce inflammation.

Joy Reeves, our licensed esthetician, also helps match patients with products based on comfort, skin type, and sensitivity.

Additional Support In Office

For patients needing deeper support, we may recommend additional in-office care based on the severity of your symptoms. This includes regular monitoring and combination treatment plans tailored to your eyes.

We’ll walk through your options together and make sure everything fits your comfort level and lifestyle.

How Dry Eye Connects to Macular Degeneration

While dry eye and macular degeneration are separate conditions, they can sometimes share symptoms like blurred vision and light sensitivity. Dr. Reeves carefully evaluates each patient for both, especially older adults or those with a family history of eye disease.

Our approach helps ensure we’re not just treating surface symptoms we’re monitoring your long-term eye health at every step.

Eye-Safe Skincare That Supports Tear Health

Some dry eye symptoms are made worse by common skincare and makeup products. That’s why we offer a growing selection of clean, eye-safe skincare products in our office.

From gentle cleansers to anti-aging support, Joy Reeves curates each product to reduce irritation while supporting healthy skin and eyes.
