DRY EYE IS MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE.
DRY EYE IS A DISEASE.

Dry eye disease affects 40 million Americans. While common dry eye disease is treatable, many people suffer for years from the discomfort and pain. Most try various products to manage their disease, and while many of the Over-The-Counter products can provide relief, it is just temporary symptom relief. ABBA Eye Care has the tools to help figure out not only what’s causing your dry eye symptoms but target the root cause so you can feel better and see better. 

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of Dry Eye Disease. Dry Eye Disease is rarely due to a lack of the watery part of your tears. 86% of dry eye patients have MGD.
