If you have ever experienced burning, stinging, gritty, and red eyes, you may have experienced dry eyes. Dry eyes may not seem like much more than just an irritating problem, but they can lead to serious long-term side effects if left untreated.
There are many options available for providing relief from the discomfort of dry eyes. Are you looking for a solution for your dry eyes? Please book an appointment with us today!
Dry eyes occur either when your tears are of poor quality or if you do not produce enough to provide adequate lubrication. Dry eyes can lead to holes in the tear film, exposing the corneal nerves and causing pain and irritation every time you blink. Since you blink nearly 11,500 times a day, dry eyes can be extremely painful.
Treatment depends entirely on the cause of your dry eyes. What is causing your dry eyes can be determined during a comprehensive eye exam.
Not all treatments work for all types of dry eyes. And in some cases, you may need more than one treatment to find total relief. During the exam process, we can put together a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
At Ideal Optical, we offer a selection of preservative-free eye drops and eye masks, and blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction treatments, like lid wipes and in-office treatments.
You do not have to suffer with the painful symptoms of dry eyes. Please call us today and find relief.
