What Is Dry Eye Disease
and How Does It
Affect You?

Dry, burning, gritty eyes can make every day uncomfortable, but effective treatment is available right here in Mandan. Dry eye disease, also known as dry eye syndrome, occurs when your eyes cannot produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is compromised. This condition affects the protective tear film that naturally cleanses and moisturizes your eyes with each blink, and it is one of the most common reasons patients visit Vision Source Mandan.

When this essential moisture barrier breaks down, your eyes may experience persistent burning or gritty sensations, increased sensitivity to light, redness and irritation, blurred vision that may fluctuate throughout the day, difficulty wearing contact lenses comfortably, and watery eyes (a paradoxical symptom as your body tries to compensate). At Vision Source Mandan, we understand how dry eye can impact your daily life. Simple activities like reading, working at a computer, or driving can become uncomfortable and challenging. Our team of experienced optometrists, Dr. Brittany Schauer, Dr. Wayne Aberle, and Dr. Danielle Dyke, offers advanced dry eye treatments tailored to your specific needs. dry eye treatments tailored to your specific needs.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

My annual eye exam is always an excellent experience with Dr. Danielle Dyke. The exam is always thorough, and Dr. Dyke takes the time to explain my eye health in a way I can understand. The Vision Source eye clinic is modern, clean, and the staff is very welcoming. I always feel comfortable and well-cared for at my appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Dyke and Vision Source!

Patricia G.

Dr. Schauer did an amazing job getting my eye infection cleared up. As I sat in my room waiting my turn, because I had a last minute appointment, I could hear her working with a family next door that had young kids.

Fred S.

Whenever I have had eye issues, they have made efforts to get me in asap. Which I really appreciate. I have had Dr. Aberle and Dr. Dyke and they are both excellent. Recently, I saw Dr. Aberle for a chronic eye problem in one eye & he fixed the problem. Honestly, it felt like a miracle. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with.

Sheila S.

I've literally been a lifelong customer since 5th grade when it was Dr. Little! Dr. Schauer has taken over since Dr. Little retired. It's always a good, friendly experience with all of the staff there. I've never had a bad experience.

Bill S.

The front desk people are very nice and friendly got called in to see Wayne before my appointment time Vision Source has very friendly staff and the clinic is very clean will always be a patient to Vision Source.

Deborah C.

I was greeted by the front desk very efficiently. The person who did the first part of my history and did the testing like the little spritz in my eyes, etc, was very good. I really like my eye doctor, I feel that I get all my questions answered as well as she explains what she is seeing when she is examining my eyes.
