Symptoms of Dry Eye
Dry eye can cause a variety of symptoms, such as eye irritation or feeling as if there is dirt or sand in your eye. Not only that, but you may also notice redness in your eyes when looking in a mirror. Dry eye can also cause watery eyes as well as blurry vision when using a computer. When you notice any of these symptoms, we recommend making an appointment with our optometrists for an eye exam. We also offer blue light glasses, which can help you see more clearly when utilizing digital devices.
How to Prevent Dry Eye
The best way to avoid dry eyes is with routine visits to our optometrist for an evaluation. If your eyes are dry, you will be prescribed eye drops to help supply moisture. You can also prevent the condition from occurring by avoiding dry environments. In addition, it is important to limit your screen time, as looking at a compute or smartphone for prolonged periods of time can lead to eye irritation.
Treatment for Dry Eye
Our eye doctors can provide treatment for dry eye that will offer you relief. We will completely examine your eyes to accurately diagnose dry eye. Once the condition is confirmed, we will prescribe eye drops, which can provide the necessary moisture for your eyes. It is important to use the drops according to the instructions provided by our optometrists. You may also be prescribed blue light lenses to help protect your eyes from dry eye symptoms when using laptops, cell phones, or computers.
