Q&A with Dr. Austin Andersen | Dry Eye Syndrome
What is the examination like to determine if someone has dry eyes?

A large part of the examination is finding out what the patient is experiencing and determining the type of dry eye causing the symptoms. We examine the surface of the eye under a microscope to look at the quantity and the quality of the tear film. Additionally, we examine the eyelids and the glands inside the eyelids to insure they are healthy. 

What are the typical treatments for dry eyes?

There are a wide range of treatments ranging from over the counter products to specialty laser procedures. Many times using artificial tears and vitamin supplements can help boost the tear film. There are prescription eye drops that can aid in tear production as well as laser procedures for patients with more advanced dry eye. 

Are there any recommendations to help people avoid dry eye?

Of course – stay hydrated and making sure you consume enough water each day. Additionally, take breaks from your computer and smart phone. I recommend the 20/20/20 Rule – take a 20 second break every 20 minutes and look 20 feet away and blink your eyes. Finally, wearing sunglasses is critical to protecting the surface of the eye and the eyelids from UV exposure.

10 REASONS TO SCHEDULE AN ANNUAL EXAM

The Importance of Annual Eye Exams

Most of us are well-aware of the importance of scheduling an annual physical examination with our primary care physician. However, what often goes unnoticed is the significance of regular eye exams. Just like the rest of your body, your eyes undergo changes as you age, and it is essential to monitor these changes to ensure your vision remains in top condition. In this article, we'll explore three compelling reasons why you should prioritize scheduling an annual eye exam.

  1. Checking for Common Age-Related Conditions:As we grow older, our risk of developing certain eye conditions increases. Conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration are more prevalent in older adults. The key to effective treatment for these conditions is early detection. Annual eye exams provide your optometrist or ophthalmologist with an opportunity to identify any signs or risk factors associated with these conditions. Detecting them early can significantly increase the chances of successful management or treatment.
  2. Maintaining Good Overall Health:Your eyes often serve as a window into your overall health. Various systemic health conditions can manifest symptoms or warning signs in your eyes. For instance, diabetes can lead to damage to the blood vessels in your retina, and high blood pressure may cause bleeding in the back of your eye. Regular eye exams can help your eye care professional spot these signs before they escalate into more serious health problems. By addressing these issues promptly, you can take proactive steps to manage your overall health effectively.
  3. Preserving Sharp Vision:Even if you don't currently have any health concerns related to your eyes, regular eye exams are vital to maintaining sharp vision as you age. Small, gradual changes in your vision can go unnoticed in day-to-day life. However, over time, these changes can accumulate and potentially lead to permanent vision loss. Annual eye exams allow your eye doctor to detect these subtle changes and make necessary adjustments to your prescription or recommend vision correction options to keep your eyesight at its best.

Conclusion:

While annual physicals are a routine part of most people's healthcare regimen, annual eye exams often get overlooked. Yet, they are just as crucial for your overall well-being. Regular eye exams can help catch common age-related eye conditions in their early stages, provide insights into your overall health, and ensure your vision remains sharp throughout your life. So, don't delay – prioritize your eye health and schedule an appointment with your eye doctor today. Taking this simple step can make a world of difference in preserving your vision and overall quality of life.
