WHAT IS DRY EYE?

Aside from causing discomfort, dry eyes can also result in long-term corneal damage. This condition can be caused by inadequate tear volume or poor tear quality. Usually, tears refresh and lubricate the surface of the eye. In a patient with dry eyes, the eyes aren’t able to distribute tears uniformly, or the tears formed are evaporating too quickly. Dry eye is a chronic condition that requires treatment and monitoring.

SYMPTOMS OF DRY EYES 

Individuals suffering from dry eyes may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

  • Burning

  • Tearing

  • Redness

  • The sensation of something in your eye

  • Grittiness

  • Irritation

  • Blurred vision

At Bellemore Optometry and Eyes on Tecumseh, we offer dry eye therapy based on your individual needs and not a one-size-fits-all therapy. We perform a full dry-eye workup to determine the appropriate therapy before starting treatment.

WHAT CAUSES DRY EYES?

Various causes can disrupt your tear film, which in turn leads to dry eyes. Some of these are:

  • Ageing

  • Medications such as antidepressants

  • Excessive computer use

  • Laser surgery

  • Menopause

  • Vitamin A deficiency

  • Allergies

  • Auto-immune conditions

  • Contact lenses

HOW IS DRY EYE DIAGNOSED?

Our dry eye diagnosis is a straightforward procedure. Once we inspect your symptoms, we conduct a comprehensive eye exam. In addition to that, we assess your eye health history, and overall health, to make a diagnosis.

HOW WILL DRY EYE HARM MY EYES?

Dry eye not only causes general irritation and redness but can also have various impacts on the overall health of your eyes. Tears play a crucial role in washing away debris and removing infection-causing bacteria from your eyes. When you experience dry eye, this natural cleansing process is compromised, leaving your eyes vulnerable. Insufficient tear production and poor tear quality can lead to impaired vision, especially if your eyes become excessively dry. In more severe cases, dry eye can even contribute to the formation of ulcers on the surface of your cornea. It is important to address dry eye promptly to preserve your eye health and prevent potential long-term complications.

CAN DRY EYE BE TREATED?

There is no one approach for dry eye treatment. While one treatment will work for another person, it might not work for you. We can offer a range of treatments till you find one that works for your dry eye.

IMPORTANCE OF TIMELY DRY EYE TREATMENT

Timely treatment for dry eyes is crucial to prevent further discomfort and potential complications. Ignoring dry eye symptoms can increase irritation, worsening symptoms, and potential long-term eye damage. Here are a few reasons why timely dry eye treatment is important:

  • Relieve Discomfort: Dry eyes can cause significant discomfort, including burning, itching, and a gritty sensation. By seeking timely treatment, you can alleviate these uncomfortable symptoms and improve your overall eye comfort.
     

  • Protect Eye Health: Dry eyes can compromise your eye health. Tears are responsible for nourishing the ocular surface, lubricating the eyes, and protecting against infections. Without sufficient tear production or quality, your eyes become vulnerable to corneal damage and increased risk of infections. Timely treatment helps maintain the health and integrity of your eyes.
     

  • Maintain Visual Clarity: Dry eyes can lead to blurry vision and difficulty focusing, which can affect your daily activities and quality of life. By addressing dry eye symptoms promptly, you can improve visual clarity and ensure optimal vision.
     

  • Prevent Complications: Untreated dry eyes can result in more severe complications, such as corneal ulcers or chronic inflammation. These complications may require more intensive treatments and can lead to long-term vision problems. Timely intervention can help prevent such complications and preserve your eye health.
     

  • Enhance Quality of Life: Dry eyes can significantly impact your daily life, making activities like reading, working on a computer, or being outdoors uncomfortable. By seeking timely treatment, you can regain comfort, reduce eye strain, and improve your overall quality of life.
