DRY EYE SYNDROME TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT WITH STRESS ON AESTHETICS:
Dry eye syndrome is a common medical condition in which there is a deficiency in the quality and/or quantity of tears produced by the eyes.
Tears perform many important functions for the eye including cleaning, lubrication, providing nutrition and maintaining a smooth surface to refract light and provide clear vision. A healthy tear film contains a complex balance of water, salts, mucin, and oils produced by glands on the eye and eyelids. If any of these components are out of balance, dry eye symptoms can occur.
Typical symptoms of dry eye include dry or gritty sensation, scratchiness, itching, burning, pain, eyelid heaviness, intermittent blurred vision and intermittent tearing. Eyes often appear red. Symptoms are usually worse later in the day, during prolonged use of the eyes, and in conditions of heat, wind and low humidity.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, contact us to make an appointment!
