Closing Out Dry Eye Awareness Month: Take Control of Your Eye Comfort Year-Round

As Dry Eye Awareness Month comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what we’ve learned—and most importantly, to take action. Dry eye is more than just a nuisance. It’s a chronic condition that affects millions, often silently. At Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun in Knoxville, TN, we encourage you to use this moment not just for awareness, but for proactive care.

Recap: Why Dry Eye Deserves Attention

Throughout July, we’ve explored the many facets of dry eye disease—its common symptoms, such as burning, redness, blurry vision, and excessive tearing, as well as misdiagnoses like allergies, eye strain, or conjunctivitis. We’ve also shared how personalized treatment plans, tailored to each patient’s unique needs, can help restore comfort and protect long-term eye health.

Dry eye doesn’t go away on its own. Left untreated, it can affect daily activities like reading, driving, working on screens, or even simply enjoying time outdoors.

Don’t Let the End of July Be the End of Your Awareness

Awareness is just the first step. Now it’s time to act:

Notice recurring symptoms like dryness, irritation, or watery eyes? Don’t ignore them.
Rely on artificial tears constantly? That’s a sign you may need professional intervention.
Already diagnosed? Stick with your prescribed plan and schedule follow-ups to monitor progress.

Year-Round Relief Starts With a Personalized Plan

At Drs. Campbell, Cunningham, Taylor & Haun, we use advanced diagnostics and offer treatment options such as:

Prescription drops like Xiidra® or RESTASIS®
Punctal plugs to retain natural tears
Therapies for underlying causes like blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction

Our goal is to provide sustainable, long-term relief—not just temporary fixes.
