Start with The Cause
Dry Eye Relief That
Dry Eye Center in Centennial
Hamilton Vision Center runs a physician-led Dry Eye Center in Centennial. Dry eye has many causes, and lasting relief starts with finding which ones affect you. No two cases are exactly alike, so we measure your tear film and the oil glands in your eyelids, then build a plan around what we find.
Where Dry Eye Relief Starts
Lasting relief follows a clear path: find what is causing your dry eye, treat that cause, then keep it from coming back. Here is where each step happens.
We measure your tear film and the oil glands in your eyelids to find the real cause of your dry eye.
Prescription drops, punctal plugs, and in-office therapies that treat the cause behind symptoms.
IPL, radiofrequency, and low-level light therapy for dry eye that keeps coming back.
Why Dry Eye Is So Common in the South Denver Metro
Colorado is hard on eyes. We sit above 5,000 feet, the air stays dry most of the year, and wind and sun pull moisture off the surface of your eyes faster than your tears can replace it. Add long days on screens at the Denver Tech Center or working from home, and your eyes blink less and dry out more.
That mix leaves many people across Centennial, Greenwood Village, and Lone Tree with burning, watering, blurry vision, light sensitivity, a gritty or foreign-body feeling, and tired eyes by afternoon. The good news: once we know what is driving it, dry eye responds well to treatment.
How We Find What Is Causing Your Dry Eye
Dry eye is rarely just a lack of water, and most patients have more than one cause. If drops help for a day and then quit, that usually means the real cause has not been treated yet. Artificial tears ease symptoms, but they cannot unblock oil glands or calm inflammation.
Using the Oculus Keratograph, we image your tear film and the oil glands in your eyelids and check for:
- How stable your tears are and how fast they evaporate
- Oil gland (meibomian gland) health, using gland imaging
- Signs of blepharitis (eyelid inflammation), ocular rosacea, and surface disease
- How your symptoms line up with what we see on imaging
Dry Eye Is Dr. Hamilton's Focus
Dr. Lisa Hamilton has focused much of her career on diagnosing and treating dry eye disease, caring for patients with everything from mild irritation to complex ocular surface disease. She founded this practice in 2002, which is why people who have tried drop after drop end up in her chair.
Working alongside her, Dr. Kristian Mostert cares for patients in English and Spanish. Together they lead the south Denver metro's dedicated Dry Eye Center. Meet our eye doctors.
