Is it your screen time, or something deeper? That stinging, gritty feeling behind your eyes could be more than just digital fatigue. It might be inflammation, disrupted tear production, poor diet, chronic stress – or all of the above. And if you’ve been cycling through artificial tears with no luck, there’s a reason for that too.
At BenNissan Eyes, we’ve taken a stand against cookie-cutter solutions. Our team combines leading-edge optometric tools with traditional healing practices to get to the root of your discomfort.
What Does Dry Eye Syndrome Really Look Like?
Dry eye isn’t just “my eyes feel dry.” It’s a complex issue that involves poor tear quality, low tear volume, or both – and it affects up to 16 million adults in the U.S., especially in climates like ours where humidity masks other contributing factors like excessive screen exposure and indoor cooling.
You might have dry eye if you experience:
- A gritty or burning sensation
- Blurry vision that improves after blinking
- Eye fatigue, especially by evening
- Redness or a feeling of heaviness around the eyes
- Sensitivity to wind or AC
- Stringy mucus in or around the eyes
Often, people don’t even realize they’re experiencing dry eye – they just know they’re uncomfortable or fatigued. And over-the-counter eye drops may soothe irritation briefly, but without a proper diagnosis and a holistic care plan, the underlying cause is left untreated.
How BenNissan Eyes Treats Dry Eyes – From Every Angle
At our practice, we start with comprehensive diagnostics to determine whether your dry eye is evaporative, aqueous-deficient, or a hybrid of both.
Once we understand the cause, we tailor your treatment from a toolbox that includes:
- LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation Therapy – Gently heats and massages blocked meibomian glands, improving lipid layer quality and tear stability.
- Prescription or Specialty Eye Drops – Medicated drops to reduce inflammation or custom preservative-free solutions for sensitive eyes.
- Nutritional Support and Supplements – Omega-3s and other anti-inflammatory nutrients to improve gland function and tear quality.
- Acupuncture for Dry Eye Relief – Targets meridian points to reduce inflammation, rebalance tear production, and lower stress.
- Cupping and Stress-Reduction Therapies – Supports circulation and calms the nervous system, indirectly improving eye comfort.
By approaching dry eye with both medical precision and whole-body awareness, we’ve helped countless patients find relief after years of frustration. This integrative model sets us apart in North Miami Beach – and it’s what keeps our community coming back.
Holistic Dry Eye Care for Health-Conscious Professionals
If you live in North Miami Beach, chances are you spend more time on a screen than you’d like. Between remote work, streaming habits, and late-night doomscrolling, your blink rate drops, your eye muscles fatigue, and your tear film begins to break down. It’s not just a digital lifestyle issue – it’s a lifestyle balance issue.
That’s why our dry eye relief program doesn’t stop at in-office procedures. We talk to you about your habits, stress levels, nutrition, and sleep – all of which influence how your eyes perform and feel. Patients who embrace a whole-body approach often see improvements not just in their eye comfort, but in their overall well-being.
We might recommend:
- Adjusting screen ergonomics and break schedules
- Simple mindfulness or breathing techniques to support tear production
- Guided stress reduction or sleep hygiene tips
- Acupuncture sessions to target energy flow disruptions tied to hormonal or inflammatory imbalances
When we treat your eyes, we also support your nervous system, endocrine system, and lifestyle choices. That’s what true integrative care looks like – and it’s something traditional clinics rarely offer.
