Dry Eye Treatment in Las Vegas
Relieve Discomfort. Protect Your Vision. Feel Refreshed Again.
If you live in Las Vegas or anywhere within 100 miles of the Mojave Desert, your eyes are likely feeling it. Dry, gritty, irritated? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to live that way.
At Southwest Eye Institute, we offer cutting-edge treatments for Dry Eye Disease — from prescription nasal sprays like Tyrvaya® to insurance-covered therapies and surgical interventions for advanced cases.
💡 What Is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry Eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly — leading to:
Itching, burning, redness
Blurred vision or fluctuating clarity
Sensitivity to light
Eye fatigue
A constant feeling of “something in your eye”
Over time, chronic dryness can cause serious complications, including corneal scarring, Saltzman’s nodules, and membrane dystrophies like Map Dot Fingerprint or EBMD.
“Dry Eye is more than a nuisance — it can permanently affect your vision if untreated.”
🧪 The Latest & Greatest: Tyrvaya® Nasal Spray
We are proud to offer Tyrvaya®, the first and only FDA-approved nasal spray for dry eye treatment. It works by stimulating natural tear production through the nerves inside your nose.
✅ Easy to use
✅ Non-invasive
✅ Prescription-only — ask if it’s right for you!
