Importance of Managing Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. It can lead to discomfort, irritation, blurred vision, and even potential damage to the surface of the eye. Timely diagnosis and proper management of dry eye are essential to alleviate symptoms, improve ocular health, and enhance your overall quality of life.
Understanding Dry Eye
- Symptoms: Dry eye symptoms can include dryness, stinging or burning sensation, redness, grittiness, sensitivity to light, excessive tearing, and fluctuating vision.
- Causes: Various factors can contribute to dry eye, such as aging, hormonal changes, certain medications, environmental conditions, prolonged screen time, and underlying health conditions.
- Diagnosis: Our ophthalmologists will perform a comprehensive evaluation, which may include assessing your symptoms, measuring tear production, examining the ocular surface, and evaluating the quality of your tears.
- Treatment Options: Treatment for dry eye may include artificial tears, prescription eye drops, lifestyle modifications, environmental adjustments, tear duct plugs to retain tears, and in more severe cases, advanced therapies such as intense pulsed light (IPL) or regenerative medicine techniques."
