Dry Eye Syndrome
- Do your eyes ever look red or irritated?
- Do your eyes ever feel dry, sandy, gritty, or scratchy?
- Do you have blurry vision that comes and goes during the day?
- Do you have difficulty wearing contact lenses?
- Does your vision ever become blurry at the end of the day or after prolonged periods of near work?
- Do you notice that your eyes become irritated easily, such as in smoky or windy environments?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be one of the millions of Americans suffering from dry eye syndrome, a condition that can occur in otherwise healthy individuals. Dry eyes can occur when either the volume of tears produced is inadequate or when the composition of the tears has changed, making the tear film unstable and causing tears to evaporate faster than they should.
At Optometric Care, our doctors specialize in the management and treatment of dry eye syndrome. We offer several treatment options that are painless and non-invasive. Because dry eye syndrome is considered a medical condition, treatment options that we offer are often covered or reimbursable under many major medical insurance plans.
If you feel that you are experiencing symptoms of dry eye syndrome, talk to your doctor about treatment options today!
