Understanding Dry Eyes
Do your eyes often feel gritty, itchy, or irritated? Do you experience blurry vision, redness, or a burning sensation? These could be signs of dry eye syndrome, a common condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears is poor. While it may seem like a minor annoyance, untreated dry eyes can lead to more serious complications and impact your quality of life.
At Eye Doctor Long Island, we specialize in diagnosing and treating dry eye syndrome to help you maintain optimal eye health and comfort. Here’s why getting checked out for dry eyes is essential.
The Importance of Diagnosing and Treating Dry Eyes
Dry eyes can affect anyone, but they’re more common as we age or if we spend long hours staring at screens. Other contributing factors include:
Environmental conditions like wind, smoke, or dry air
Certain medications, such as antihistamines or antidepressants
Health conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disorders
Ignoring dry eye symptoms can lead to chronic discomfort and even damage the surface of your eyes. Early diagnosis and treatment can:
Relieve symptoms like redness, irritation, and sensitivity to light
Prevent damage to your cornea
Improve your quality of life and vision clarity
