Advanced
Dry Eye Treatment

in Washington DC & Maryland

Burning. Gritty. Irritated eyes that never fully improve? At Eycon we use advanced diagnosis technology to identify the root cause and design a personalized treatment plan for lasting relief.

Are Your Eyes Constantly…

Burning or stinging?

Red and irritated?

Feeling gritty or sandy?

Tired after screen time?

Blurry by the end of the day?​

Dependent on drops that only work temporarily?

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

Chronic dry eye is a medical condition and it can be treated.

Understanding What’s Causing Your Dry Eyes

​If your eyes feel dry, irritated, or constantly tired, there’s usually a deeper reason. For many patients, dry eye isn’t simply a lack of tears, it’s a problem with tear quality. 

 

The most common cause is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD): when the oil glands in your eyelids become blocked or inflamed. Without proper oil flow, tears evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes dry, uncomfortable, and irritated.

 

Other contributors may include:

​

  • Ocular inflammation

  • Hormonal changes

  • Screen overuse

  • Certain medications

  • Autoimmune conditions

That’s why treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. â€‹Some patients improve with simple interventions. Others require advanced therapy. Our job is to determine which path is right for you.

​

At Eycon, we offer a full spectrum of dry eye solutions - from medical-grade drops to advanced in-office therapies like IPL, RF, and DMSt. Your treatment plan is based entirely on your diagnosis, severity, and goals.
