Dry Eye Library

At Calgary Dry Eye Treatment Centre we believe in patient education. In our dry eye library you will find a collection of articles  about dry eyes as well as information to help you live more comfortably with this condition. Learn more about About Your Eyes.

  • While certainly not a complete eye care dictionary, this Glossary covers many of the common eye care conditions, terms and technology you’ll commonly discuss with your eye care professional.
  • Healthy Sight isn’t a slogan; it’s a way of life that enhances your everyday vision while preserving the well being of your eyes. It means getting regular checkups.
  • If your eyes sting, itch or burn, you may be experiencing the common signs of "dry eye."
  • The human eye is a marvel of built-in engineering, combining reflected light, lens imaging capability, multiple lighting adjustments and information processing—all in the space of your eyeball. When working properly, the human eye converts light into impulses that are conveyed to the brain and interpreted as images.
  • Dry eye is one of the most under-diagnosed eye conditions, however, the symptoms patients experience are some of the most common complaints heard by optometrists.
  • If you work in a hazardous environment like a construction zone or workshop, or participate in ball sports or extreme sports—sturdy, shatter-and-impact-resistant eyewear is a must. This is particularly important when considering eye protection for both children and adults.
  • Browse this comprehensive list of the various causes of dry eye syndrome.
  • If you have simply been told you have "dry eyes", you need more information. Take control of your diagnosis.
  • The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) is a 12-question survey for dry eye patients.
  • Whether you are a sports enthusiast, a business professional, a parent or a young adult, various factors in your lifestyle can impact your dry eyes.
  • Detailed videos covering dry eye symptoms, tear production and treatment options.
  • Learn about the importance of the tear film as it relates to dry eyes.
  • There are several conditions that are closely associated with dry eye symptoms including Blepharitis, Meibowmian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and more.
