Dry Eye Treatment in Chico

 

Dry Eyes Chico

Dry eyes Chico are annoying and uncomfortable, but not dangerous to your vision or eye health in the long run. Fortunately, at Enterprise Optometry Group, you can get relief in the form of dry eye treatment.

What symptoms are most associated with the condition? Be alert for a burning or stinging sensation in your eyes, unusual sensitivity to light, blurred vision, red eyes, or tired eyes. Risk factors that increase the chances of your developing dry eyes Chico include exposure to smoke, wind, and using contact lenses, particularly if they are extended wear. Our eye doctor will examine you and may also conduct some tests that are specific to the diagnosis of dry eyes. Since the cause is the lack of tears or how good they are, it makes perfect sense to determine the quantity and quality of your tears in advance of treatment. Don't worry. The tests are non-invasive and offer accurate results. Quantity is determined by putting blotting strips of paper beneath your lower eyelids, while quality is measured by special eye drops. Fortunately, the treatment for your dry eyes Chico will most often be as simple as the application of artificial tears in eye drop form. They come in regular strength, as well as in prescription strength for more difficult cases. Surgery is a consideration in situations where you keep getting a recurrence of dry eyes or when artificial tears do not produce the needed outcome. It's also highly recommended that you avoid smoke, wear sunglasses or eyeglasses on windy days, and avoid air-conditioned rooms when possible.

There is no reason that you should have to deal with the frustration of dry eyes any longer. You can get the answers you need here from our eye doctor. So please reach out to us and set up a timely appointment to come in for our eye care.
