Now Featuring the Optase Product Line

Dry Eye is one of the most common concerns we see at Crystal Vision Clinic. Whether your eyes feel gritty, irritated, watery, or tired, dryness can impact everything from reading and screen time to overall visual comfort.

Many patients try over-the-counter drops without much success, not because the products don’t work, but because the right dry eye treatment depends on the cause of the dryness. That’s why a professional evaluation is so important.

At Crystal Vision Clinic, we offer a full range of Optase dry eye products both in-clinic and on our website, and our doctors help determine which product matches each patient’s specific needs.

Why Seeing a Doctor Matters for Dry Eye

Dry Eye is not the same for everyone. Some people don’t make enough tears. Others make tears that evaporate too quickly. Allergies, contact lenses, medical conditions, hormone changes, medications, and digital device use can all play a role.

Because the source of dryness can vary, the treatment should vary too. During a Dry Eye Evaluation, our providers assess:

  • Tear quality and stability
  • Oil gland (meibomian gland) function
  • Eyelid and ocular surface health
  • Inflammation or allergy involvement
  • Lifestyle and environmental factors

From there, your provider will recommend a personalized plan of treatment options and Optase products to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying cause of your Dry Eye. This plan often includes a combination of lubricating drops, eyelid hygiene, warm compresses, nutritional support, or in-office treatments.

Why do we recommend Optase Products?

  • Preservative-Free
  • Contact Lens compatible
  • Formulated specifically for different types of Dry Eye

Don’t Forget the Heat and Cooling Masks

A Key Part of Dry Eye Relief

Lubricating drops are only one part of dry eye management, and for many patients heat therapy is equally important.

Optase Heat Masks

Warm compress masks gently heat the eyelids, helping:

  • Melt thickened oil in the meibomian glands
  • Improve tear quality
  • Reduce dryness caused by evaporative issues
  • Soothe tired, strained eyes

Consistent heat therapy is one of the most effective home treatments for MGD and evaporative dry eye.

Optase Cooling Masks

These are great for:

  • Allergy irritation
  • Puffiness
  • Inflammation
  • Post-procedure comfort

Cooling masks calm the ocular surface and can help reduce itching or swelling, especially during allergy seasons.

Our team of doctors can help you determine whether heat, cooling, or a combination of both is right for your symptoms.

Your Next Step: A Personalized Dry Eye Treatment Plan

Dry eye products work best when they’re chosen intentionally, not through trial and error. At Crystal Vision Clinic, we’ll guide you toward the right Optase drops, masks, and at-home routines based on your individual needs.

If you’re dealing with persistent dryness, burning, or fluctuating vision, schedule a dry eye evaluation with us. You don’t have to live with discomfort, we’re here to help you find lasting relief.
