Dry Eye is a complex, multi factorial disease which can require extensive time for proper diagnosis and formulating customized treatment plans.
Because we are currently the only clinic in Austin that focuses solely on dry eye management. we can apply all of our efforts in helping you get relief from your dry eye symptoms by using advanced diagnostic testing and imaging to determine the root causes of your dry eye. We then offer evidence-based home and in office treatments to address each cause directly.
Though many patients use artificial tears to provide temporary relief, unfortunately the underlying disease process can continue to progress.
At Dry Eye Care Texas, we are focused and motivated to not only help you find relief from your symptoms but also slow down the progression rate of your dry eye disease.
The Dry Eye Care Texas team got active together this week at Activate! Thank you everyone for coming out! ✨

We are also happy to welcome Priyal Desai, OD to our team! She will be seeing patients at both our Austin and Georgetown locations.
At the heart of Dr. Desai`s philosophy is a simple yet powerful belief — that every patient deserves personalized care and the knowledge to take control of their health. Her approach blends compassion and empathy with evidence-based education, helping patients take an active role in managing their eye health and improving their quality of life.
Thank you to all our colleagues who came out to our annual Central Texas Optometry Society (CTOS) event! We discussed Neurotrophic Keratitis and various management approaches for this rare corneal degenerative disease. We look forward to seeing you all again later this year for our 2026 presentation! 👋🤓
✨ Employee Spotlight ✨
Gabrielle is our office manager and can be spotted helping out in various areas of the clinic. She moved to Austin in 2016 and has worked in both optometry and ophthalmology since then. As the team problem-solver, she`s always looking for ways to uphold our commitment to excellent patient care and treatment. You might also find her tending to the office plants and unloading all the pens she`s accidentally stolen from around the clinic.
