Relieving Dry Eyes
Dry eye disease is a common condition that can cause your eyes to feel irritated if not treated. The disease occurs because the eyes aren’t able to produce enough high-quality tears to keep the eye lubricated.
Many people that suffer from dry eye disease simply put up with the irritation rather than seeking out a solution. We’re here to relieve your eyes. Through a variety of solutions, we’re here to relieve your dry eyes.
What is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry eye disease is normally caused by 2 main factors—decreased tear production and increased tear evaporation. Together, these factors can create irritation and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Decreased tear production can be caused by the following:
- Aging
- Certain medications
- Specific medical conditions
- Overuse of contact lenses
Increased tear evaporation can be caused by the following:
- Meibomian gland dysfunction
- Digital eye strain
- Eye allergies
- Windy, smoky, or dry air
- Vitamin A deficiency
People with dry eye may experience the following symptoms:
- Stinging, burning, or itching
- Sensitivity to light
- Redness
- Mucus in or around the eye
- Difficulty wearing contacts
- Foriegn body sensation
- Difficulty driving at night
- Watery eyes
- Blurred vision

Amniotic Membranes
Amniotic membranes are one of our more innovative solutions for treating dry eyes. The membranes are made of stem cell tissues that have healing and regenerative materials.
Amniotic membranes are typically used for severe cases of dry eye and can relieve symptoms of light sensitivity, foreign body sensation, and severe dryness. Please contact us to learn more about amniotic membranes.
Autologous Serum Drops
Autologous serum drops are a new revolutionary approach used to treat dry eye. This treatment involves making sterile tears out of your own blood plasma, which can replenish your eyes with your body’s natural lubricating and antimicrobial properties.
Punctal Plugs
Punctal plugs are tiny plugs that are inserted into a patient’s tear ducts. They are placed in the puncta—the area where tears escape from the eye.
These plugs stop fluids from leaking and keep the eye lubricated. This helps limit irritation caused by dry eye disease. Punctal plugs can be both temporary and semi-permanent.

Our Testimonials
Great customer service, very nice employees and a great doctor. They will do what they can to make sure your needs are meet in the most efficient way.
Connor
Love love love Dr. Barber & all his staff! I’ve seen Dr. Barber at his previous location; this was my first visit to CHROMA though. Blew me away. The technology they’ve implemented led to the quickest & most thorough examination. I went initially for my routine exam & to purchase my yearly contacts. Welp- they had way too many cute pairs of glasses & since my prescription had GOTTEN BETTER, I needed new glasses too. I had NOT budgeted the money for both contacts & new glasses. They were so so accommodating: set aside + added the frames I liked to my file, calculated all the prices (with & without insurance for both), answered my million questions, etc etc. Ended up leaving with my exam + contacts + new glasses for the same amount I used to spend on just contacts for a year. Cannot WAIT to get my new cute glasses in a couple weeks! To summarize: GO SEE THEM! I just THOUGHT Dr. Barber had an awesome practice before moving. Now, he’s got the ABSOLUTE BEST you could ever imagine. ♥️

I have just barely had glasses and been visiting Chroma for about a year now and it has been a great experience so far. They are very welcoming and you can tell how much they care for the patience. Top of the line equipment and top of the line service.

We love and adore Dr. V! He is personable, kind, and he knows his stuff! We drive 40 minutes to see him for our son. Staff was pleasant and went out of their way to help with insurance question. The building is super cool and modern. They have so many frame options in office which is super nice! Excellent experience!

I’m always so so happy with my experience at Chroma. I live in New York and make sure I come back here every year because Dr Barber (and now Dr. V) really can’t be beat. They really take care of their patients from start to finish. I also appreciate how great the staff is at communication before and after appointments- they are very accommodating and helpful to work out the best deal for you. Bottom life- can’t beg you enough to go here for your eye care. You will never regret it.
