Happy Eyes Need Hydration
Do your eyes burn and sting?
Eyes need hydration, and some conditions can affect the quality of your tears. And when your eyes can’t produce quality tears, dry eye disease can occur.
Dry eyes can be irritating and uncomfortable, but we’re here to offer relief! Let’s work together to keep your eyes healthy. Contact us today for treatment options.
Causes of Dry Eye Disease
A lack of tear production causes dry eyes. Tear film production can be affected by:
- Allergies
- Hormonal changes
- The aging process
- Autoimmune diseases
- Inflamed eyelid glands
- Exposure to smoky, windy, or dusty environments
- Prolonged use of digital screens
- Use of contact lenses for an extended time
What Are the Symptoms of Dry Eye Disease?
Dry eye disease has a few common symptoms:
- Redness
- Mucus in or around your eyes
- Blurred vision or eye fatigue
- Sensitivity to light
- A stinging, burning sensation in the eyes
- Difficulties wearing contact lenses
Relief for Your Irritated Eyes
Treatment for your symptoms can vary depending on the cause of the disease. Our optometrists will need to conduct a comprehensive eye exam and ask a few lifestyle questions to determine the reason for your tear dysfunction.
Common solutions for this condition include:
- Eyelid cleansers
- Artificial tears
- Tear duct plugging (Also called punctal plugs)
- Prescription eye drops
- Warm compresses
Contact us today, relief for your dry eye disease is waiting at Main Street Optometry!
