At Chua Eye Center, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for individuals suffering from dry eye disease. Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to discomfort, irritation, and even vision problems.
Understanding Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease can affect people of all ages but is more prevalent among older adults. It can result from various factors, including environmental conditions, prolonged screen time, hormonal changes, medications, and underlying health issues. Understanding the symptoms and seeking early treatment is crucial to prevent complications and improve your quality of life.
Symptoms of Dry Eye Disease:
- Persistent dryness
- Itching or burning sensation
- Redness and irritation
- Sensitivity to light
- Blurred vision
- Feeling of something in the eye (foreign body sensation)
Our Dry Eye Disease Treatment Services:
At Chua Eye Center, we offer a range of advanced treatments tailored to address the specific needs of each patient. Our goal is to provide relief from dry eye symptoms and improve the overall health and comfort of your eyes.
- Comprehensive Eye Examination: Our experienced ophthalmologists conduct a thorough eye examination to diagnose dry eye disease accurately. This includes evaluating tear production, assessing tear film stability, and identifying any underlying causes.
- Lifestyle and Environmental Modifications: We provide guidance on lifestyle changes and environmental modifications to help manage dry eye symptoms. This includes advice on reducing screen time, using humidifiers, and protecting your eyes from wind and dry air.
- Medications and Eye Drops: Depending on the severity of your condition, we may prescribe artificial tears, lubricating eye drops, or anti-inflammatory medications to relieve symptoms and promote tear production.
- Punctal Plugs: For patients with moderate to severe dry eye, we offer punctal plug insertion. These tiny plugs are placed in the tear ducts to prevent tears from draining too quickly, keeping your eyes moist for longer periods.
- Advanced Treatments: We also provide cutting-edge treatments such as LipiFlow® thermal pulsation, which targets the root cause of evaporative dry eye by unclogging blocked meibomian glands, and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy to reduce inflammation and improve tear quality.
