Dry Eyes - Brenart Eye Clinic

With the recent extension of Illinois Governor Pritzker’s “Stay at Home Order”, starting Monday, May 4th, our office will be open for emergency and essential care (including eye exams and optical services by appointment only). Per the Governor’s Executive order, you must wear a mask or face covering when you are in public and will need to have one on when entering our office. Prior to check-in, a member of our team will take your temperature, and ask you a series of COVID-19 questions adapted from the CDC. Please note, that guests or family members are asked to stay in their vehicles to further our efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to protect our staff and patients.

As always, we are available for emergency care 24/7.

Schedule Appointment

Tired of feeling like there’s something in your eye you can’t get out?

Dry eye is a common and often chronic problem, particularly in older adults. It occurs when a person either does not produce enough tears or the quality of their tears is poor. Whatever the reasons may be, we can help.
Dr. Zangler is in her Dry Eye Clinic every Monday. Please call and schedule your evaluation to see what treatment options would be most appropriate for you. Our goal is to identify the most effective treatment to help you feel and see better.

Over the past 5 years my eyes watered uncontrollably every morning and it felt like shards of glass in my eyes when I blinked. Since having the lipiflow treatment, my eyes have stopped watering and the pain is gone. I would tell anyone with these symptoms to try this! – Barb L.

Dry Eye Evaluation: What To Expect

Our Dry Eye Clinic is open every Monday from 9 AM to 7 PM. When you arrive for your appointment, you will be seen by a member of our experienced team who will begin your evaluation and prepare you to be seen by the doctor.
