Dry Eye Treatment in Lexington, KY: Relief for Burning, Gritty, Blurry Eyes

A careful look at what is behind your symptoms, and a plan built around you.Walk-ins welcome.

Eyes burning, gritty or blurry by the end of the day? Dry eye is common and usually long-lasting, but it can be managed. Dr. Ron Haddad will find out why and build a treatment plan around you. Most vision insurances accepted.

How we help

  • 01

    Find the cause

    A careful exam of your tears, eyelids and the surface of the eye.

  • 02

    A plan that fits

    Care matched to the cause and your lifestyle, from daily habits to in-office options.

  • 03

    Comfort for daily life

    Steadier, more comfortable vision for reading, screens and driving.

  • 04

    Ongoing follow-up

    Dry eye changes over time, so we review progress and adjust together.

Who it's for

A dry eye visit may help if you notice:

  • Burning, stinging or scratchy eyes
  • A gritty feeling, like sand in your eyes
  • Watery eyes that still feel dry
  • Blurry vision that comes and goes
  • Red, tired eyes after screens or contacts
  • Contact lenses that feel uncomfortable

If contacts feel dry by the afternoon, a dry eye evaluation and a contact lens refit can be planned together. For some severe dry eye, a scleral lens with a saline reservoir can protect the eye surface.

Dry eye questions

How do I know if I have dry eye or just tired eyes?

Tired eyes usually feel better after rest. Dry eye symptoms, such as burning, grittiness or blurry vision, tend to return even after a good night's sleep. An eye exam is the best way to tell the difference.

What is the best treatment for chronic dry eye?

There is no single best treatment. The right plan depends on what is causing your dry eye and may include daily habits, eyelid care, drops or other in-office options. Dr. Haddad will recommend what fits you.

Can dry eye go away on its own?

Mild, short-term dryness from a dry room or long screen time can improve on its own. Ongoing dry eye is typically a chronic condition that is managed rather than cured.

Does insurance cover dry eye treatment?

Most vision insurances are accepted at My Vision Care. Coverage for dry eye care varies by plan, so call or text 859‑216‑2660 and we will help you understand your options.

Can I still wear contacts if I have dry eye?

Often, yes. Treating the eye surface comes first, and then the lens can change. Options include a daily disposable, a different material or, for some severe dry eye, a scleral lens. Dr. Haddad can plan your dry eye care and a contact lens refit together.
