Dry Eyes Meet Their Match
Have you ever experienced itchy, dry eyes? You’re not alone. Our eye doctors are here to help! We’ll assess the cause of your dry eyes and create a personalized dry eye treatment plan.
Dry eye is a common condition many Americans face as a result of poor quality tears. There are 2 general causes of dry eye: your eyes aren’t producing enough tears, or your eyes are producing low-quality tears.
Your tears play an important role beyond emotional release. They are responsible for keeping your eyes hydrated, lubricated, and comfortable. Your tears should mostly be staging in your eye, covering it with a combination of aqueous (watery) liquid and oils (mucous).
Our highly-trained team is here to make your eyes feel more comfortable. If you live in Columbus, New Albany, Gahanna, or surrounding area and are experiencing any discomfort related to dry eyes, we will assist you in finding your solution.
Do These Dry Eye Symptoms Feel Familiar?
You don’t have to experience the whole list of symptoms to be diagnosed with dry eyes. If you experience one or more of the following, you should speak with your optometrist about finding a solution.
Your eyes may experience:
- Stinging
- Burning
- Scratching
- Redness
- Foreign object sensation
- Light sensitivity
- Temporarily blurry vision
- Eye fatigue
- Overly watery eyes
- Poor night vision
- Uncomfortable contact lens wear
- Stringy mucus
What Causes Dry Eyes?
In the right combination, 3 layers work together to provide you with lubricated eyes and clear, comfortable vision.
Your tears are made up of 3 parts:
- Fatty oils
- Aqueous fluid (water)
- Mucus
When any of these parts are out of sync, either underproducing or overproducing, it can cause dry eyes.
Causes of tear film dysfunction can include:
- Hormone changes
- Autoimmune disease
- Inflamed eyelid glands
- Allergies
What Can We Do to Treat Dry Eyes?
Our team is skilled in assessing your dry eye symptoms and helping you find a solution that works best for you.
We offer medications, warm compresses, and punctal plugs to help treat dry eyes. Depending on the severity or recurring nature of your dry eye symptoms, we can get you started on one of our treatment methods.
You shouldn’t have to suffer from dry eye symptoms if a solution is available. Come speak with our team for an evaluation of your dry eyes and get yourself on the road to comfort.

The staff at Pinnacle are great and the office was extremely comfortable! The environment was welcoming and I actually forgot that this was the first time we ever met! The process was smooth and painless! Dr. King-Smith was very thorough with my exam and made sure he addressed all my questions and concerns. They have a wide selection of different frames and colors, which, I found the perfect ones for me! I left feeling well informed and excited to come back to pick up my new glasses! I felt like I made new friends! Professional, very clean, and friendly! Couldn’t ask for anything more!

I had an amazing experience at Pinnacle Eyecare. It is clear they care about the patient and their eye health. The entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. King-Smith took the time to explain the different tests he was doing to help me understand my eye health and what he will continue to monitor each visit. The visit was comprehensive yet efficient, and the office is welcoming and comfortable. I would recommend this to everyone!

Wow! What an amazing office. I have been looking for an eye doctor in Columbus since I moved. Dr. King-Smith is so friendly and inviting! Eye exam was all typical, however what really made them stand apart was the staffs genuine desire to connect with me. We spent time looking for frames that complimented my face and when we got a good pick, I was able to choose a different color! So accommodating and friendly. Also there is an office dog named Max!

This place is amazing. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. My favorite parts were we could request an appointment online and they explained every step of the way. I’ve been going to eye doctors since I was young and this is honestly the best one I’ve been to and I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone I know.

I had an INCREDIBLE experience with Pinnacle eyecare, and their staff. Professional, down to earth, and friendly. They have great equipment that will give you increased information about your inner eye health that I have not received before at other offices! Hannah at the front desk sets the appointment off right with great customer care. Kyle who helped with my frames was very friendly, and helped me make the most of my insurance benefits. They have a GREAT selection of frames as well. Dr. King-Smith was thorough with my exam, and participated at every part of my appointment from start to finish. I do not have to look any further for eye care. I am very pleased. 10/10. Would HIGHLY recommend. Also, really enjoyed seeing the office dog Max! He is SO sweet and cute!!!
Anne Smith
Best experience at an eye doctor, ever. Doctor explained every step he was performing and made me feel comfortable. I felt like I took a mini crash course on the eyes! You can always tell when someone loves what they do, and it felt exactly like that at Pinnacle Eyecare. They took my insurance into consideration the entire time, which is very important to me. I’m very happy to have found great care and so close to me, too.
