Other Procedures & ServicesDry Eye Syndrome FAQsWhat is Dry Eye Syndrome (DES)? What causes dry eye syndrome? Thinning tear film may also be a side effect of taking medications such as antihistamines, birth control pills and anti-depressants. Individuals who are exposed to smoke or live in dry, dusty or windy climates often have Dry Eye Syndrome. What are the symptoms? How is dry eye syndrome diagnosed? What are the treatment options? Many people find relief simply by using artificial tears on a regular basis, available both over-the-counter and by prescription. Our doctors typically recommend preservative-free tears because they are the most smoothing and have fewer additives that can potentially irritate the eye. For more severe conditions, the experienced specialists at Mann Eye Institute Dry Eye Clinic are able to open the tear drain in the eyelid with inserts known as Punctal Plugs. These special plugs trap tears on the surface of the eye, keeping the surface moist. This treatment option is available as either a temporary or permanent solution, depending on individual diagnosis. The treatment is quick, painless and totally reversible. Simple lifestyle changes can help improve irritation from Dry Eye Syndrome as well. Drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day helps to flush impurities that can aggravate your eyes. Making a conscious effort to blink frequently also helps. Avoid rubbing your eyes, as this will only aggravate dry eye symptoms. |
