I started going to For Your Eyes Only decades ago and I love the doctor and staff and love to peruse the eye glass selection. I left the bay area for a long stretch, but when I moved back I returned to the office. I miss Dr. Kennedy, but I feel so lucky that the office is in the excellent hands of Dr. Tonya Watson. Recently, I learned about a dry eye treatment from her staff and knew that this was the place to embark on the journey. Dry eyes has been something I've suffered from --also for decades. The treatment Dr. Watson offers is four sessions annually: one hour every two weeks for eight weeks. It's weird how relaxing and zen the laser treatment is, but it is. There's a bright light, a zap, and a hot sensation. Nothing hurts. Your eyes are closed for it, but Dr. Watson and the team talk you through what's happening so I never got anxious. My dry eyes didn't disappear overnight but through the many conversations I had over the four treatments I learned more. Dr. Watson also suggested I wear an eye mask at night, which helps to keep my eyes fully shut at night. This, and the treatments, has lead me to feel immensely better each morning when I wake up. Dr. Watson is super informed and knowledgeable, and this new treatment is something to consider if you're also afflicted by dry eye. I won't say I never use drops in the morning, but I don't turn to them immediately like I once used to. Success for sure in my book.
