Reclaim Vision Comfort and Clarity

Many people struggle with dry eye symptoms that hinder them from reaching their full potential. Don’t let dry eyes prevent you from seeing clearly and comfortably.

Dry eye symptoms can be more than just a minor inconvenience. They can impact your daily life, making it difficult to focus on work, enjoy your favorite activities, or simply relax. Imagine constantly battling the sensation of dryness, grittiness, or irritation in your eyes or dealing with redness and discomfort that affects your confidence.

Why Choose Dry Eye Treatment?

Even daily activities like reading or using digital screens can become a challenge when your vision is blurred or your eyes are overly sensitive to light.

The constant discomfort and distraction caused by these symptoms can lower your productivity and overall quality of life. That said, there's hope! Tailored dry eye treatment can bring swift and long-lasting relief, improving your eye health and quality of life.


Exploring Dry Eye Treatments:

Finding the most suitable treatment for dry eyes is essential for lasting relief and optimal eye health. Let's explore a few effective options to help you regain comfort and clarity in your vision.

  • Comfort and Clarity with Specialized Contact Lenses

    Contact lenses have emerged as a popular choice for dry eye sufferers. Specifically designed soft contact lenses can help maintain a stable tear film, reducing friction between the eyelids and the cornea.

    Contact lenses for dry eyes retain moisture and provide ongoing hydration, offering comfort and improving vision. They are a convenient option that can significantly alleviate dry eye symptoms.

  • Instant Relief with Lubricating Eye Drops

    One of the most straightforward and accessible solutions for dry eye is using artificial tears and lubricating eye drops, available over the counter. Adding moisture to the eyes, these products offer temporary relief and comfort whenever needed.

    In severe cases, prescription atropine eye drops may be recommended by an eye doctor to provide targeted relief for your dry eye condition.

  • Non-Invasive IPL Therapy for Chronic Dry Eyes

    Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is another effective solution for chronic dry eyes. This non-invasive procedure uses precisely calibrated light pulses to target and reduce inflammation and eliminate demodex in and around the meibomian glands. These glands are responsible for producing the oil layer of the tear film. IPL therapy can improve the quantity and quality of tears, offering long-term relief. IPL therapy is an appealing option for those seeking a non-surgical approach.

  • Innovative Radiofrequency Treatment for Lasting Relief

    Radiofrequency treatment is another cutting-edge option for effectively managing dry eyes. This procedure involves the application of radiofrequency energy to the meibomian glands, stimulating oil production and enhancing tear stability.

    Radiofrequency treatment offers lasting relief from dry eye symptoms and can significantly improve overall eye comfort. Radiofrequency treatment is worth exploring for individuals seeking a non-invasive and sustainable solution.

Very helpful, nice staff

I wanted to share a brief experience I had today (8/24/25) at this location. I was on an errand and... wearing a pair of glasses that have always had a wonky left leg. This is AFTER the other eyeglass shop in South Hills Village fit them to me like this AND I’d taken them in a couple months after that and asked them to fix them and while they claimed to have fixed them (mind you, I bought them there), they didn’t fix anything. Then I found my savior in one Amy Bozic at Eyetique. I walked in, asked her if she thought she might be able to fix them and without breaking a sweat, she fixed them in 3 minutes flat. It was magical to place them on my face again. I will absolutely be entrusting my sight to these incredibly kind and competent professionals. Thank you again, Amy! Ryan

Staff members are knowledgeable, skilled, professional, and courteous. Presentation when receiving n... ew eyewear, with a rectangular, velveteen tray, is an elegant touch.

Highly recommended!

Everyone here was so friendly and made going the eye doctor such an easy experience! I've been putti... ng off getting contacts for YEARS and Dr. Short made it such a smooth process. Amy (I believe that was her name: long dark hair, blue eyes) was SO NICE. My eyes are so sensitive and Amy made me feel comfortable and supported the entire time it took me to get them in and out (45 minutes LOL). She stayed present, gave super helpful tips and techniques, and was patient with me even as I struggled. She also gave me some great advice on getting rebates on contacts via my insurance. I'll definitely be back for my annual appointments! Thanks Amy and team 🙂
