Dry Eye

Dry Eye Management

Dry Eye Management of Chicago Eye Doctor

Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) is increasingly apparent to many Americans. Eye doctors hear complaints of dry, irritated eyes from their patients more and more. Some doctors point to environmental factors as the cause while others believe it to be the aging process.

While we do know the disorder is because of reduced tear production quantity and quality, exactly why it occurs is harder to pin down. A dry, sandy, irritated feeling is what many people notice, along with extreme discomfort while wearing contact lenses.

Why are your tears so important?

Tears have many functions. Not only do they protect the eyeball, but also they are the only vehicles to deliver nutrients to the eye surface (because there is no blood supply there). Not only are they part of your vision (they form the first lens of your eye), your tears also wash the eye clean, and lubricate the eyelid. Contact lenses float along the top of your tear film, not on your eyeball.

Does DES get better? Unfortunately there is no known cure and many of the dry eye causes and symptoms are related to age and it gets worse with age. Also how and where you live, work, and play impacts the quality of your tears. For example, air conditioning in the summer and dry heat in the winter help evaporate your tear. Stress, computer work, contact lenses and LASIK are factors that can lead to dry eyes. Dust, smoke, and skin debris also do not help.

Treatment for dry eyes

For the best analysis and treatment of your dry eyes please consult our optometrists or ophthalmologists. Many treatments start with a test to evaluate the actual severity of your dry eye condition. Drops or punctual plugs are often a first method of treatment. Other options include eye health vitamins and supplements to create a more healthy eye. There are some prescription medications now available such as Restasis. Restasis Ophthalmic Emulsion is the only prescription eye drop indicated to increase tear production which may be reduced by inflammation on the eye surface in patients with Chronic Dry Eye.

Patients suffering with dry eyes must see a physician to take an active role in a possible treatment process that can set them on a path for relief. If you or a family member are experiencing dry eye please make sure to consult a doctor directly. It is important to protect your eyes from further irritation.

Eye Exam Rosin Care Reviews

I loved my visit here. I had a great doctor and I highly recommend her. She made the visit easy and smooth but was very detailed in her work. She was very open to my suggestions and gave me lots of options as far as lenses and gave me advice on how to improve my eyesight. The best visit with an Optometrist that I have ever had!

Dr. Sheila O'Shaughnessy at Rosin Eyecare in ChicagoWhat is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
