Skincare
understanding skincare’s impact
Believe it or not, the skincare products you use on a daily basis can actually have a negative impact on your dry eye. “Hypoallergenic” or “Sensitive Skin” creams or cosmetics can still clog meibomian glands and irritate the skin around your eyes. That’s why dry eye-approved skincare products are so important. If you want to keep your skin AND eyes hydrated, ask us about our dry eye-approved skincare products on your next visit.
Nutrition
the big picture on dry eye nutrition
You are what you eat, as they say, and this applies to your eyes as well. Your eyes need specific nutrients to function properly and stay healthy, such as vitamins C, A, and E, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. Healthy foods like salmon, tomatoes, kale, yogurt, and walnuts can provide many of the nutrients you need, as well as key supplements. That’s why we offer comprehensive nutritional guidance and healthy vision supplement options to all our dry eye patients.
Causes / Symptoms / Solutions
the basics: dry eye causes, symptoms, and solutions
Meibomian gland dysfunction is often the cause of dry eye disease, as it reduces the oils needed to prevent tear evaporation in your eyes. Other causes of dry eyes range from aging and allergies to poorly fitted contact lenses and working at a computer all day. Signs of dry eye include stinging, grittiness, redness, blurry vision, and watery eyes. To heal your dry eyes, we provide comprehensive, modern solutions like custom contact lenses, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, eye drops, and more.
