Understanding Dry Eye
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough quality tears to stay lubricated. The condition can be caused by medications, certain illnesses, eye allergies, and contact lenses. Along with this, if dry eye is left untreated, it increases your chances of an infection.
Symptoms of Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome manifests through a range of symptoms that can impact your daily life. If you're experiencing persistent dryness, itching, sensitivity to light, or a gritty sensation in your eyes, these may be signs of dry eye. Some individuals may also notice excessive tearing or discomfort while wearing contact lenses.
If you're consistently encountering any of these symptoms, it's important to consult with our optometrists for evaluation. Early detection and management are key to preventing long-term complications.
Treatment for Dry Eye
When you visit Family Vision Center, we will perform a comprehensive eye exam to learn more about your condition and create a treatment plan for your specific needs. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools to assess the production and quality of your tears. Our goal is to identify what is causing dry eye and provide the necessary care.
In addition to contact lenses, we may recommend eye drops and lifestyle adjustments. Our optometrists may also suggest utilizing a humidifier in your home or taking breaks during prolonged screen use. These practical tips, combined with our specialized treatments can help ease your symptoms.
