Are dry, itchy, and gritty eyes bothering you? You’re not alone.
Dry eye disease affects many people, causing discomfort and irritation. But how do you know when it’s time to seek a diagnosis and explore treatment options?
If you’ve been experiencing persistent eye discomfort, redness, or a sandy sensation in your eyes, it’s essential to consult with an eye care professional. The first step is to see an eye doctor, who will perform a comprehensive eye exam and determine the underlying cause of your dry eyes. At Thomas Eye Center we can diagnose and determine the underlying cause of your symptoms.
There are various treatments available for dry eye disease, depending on the severity and underlying cause. Artificial tears and lubricating eye drops can provide temporary relief by moisturizing the eyes. For more severe cases, your eye care specialist may recommend procedures like meibommian gland expression using the non-invasive iLux pulsation device, or BlephEx, which cleans and exfoliates your eyelids, to enhance tear production and retention.
Implementing certain lifestyle changes can also alleviate dry eye symptoms. Remember to blink regularly while using digital devices, maintain proper indoor humidity levels, and protect your eyes from excessive wind and dry environments.
If you’re struggling with dry eye disease, don’t suffer in silence. Seek professional help at Thomas Eye Center. We specialize in managing dry eye disease using advanced technology in our TearLab Accredited Dry Eye Clinic.
