Let our “optometrist near me” in Havertown, PA, help you to get the solution best suited for your needs.
Dry Eyes and Contact Lenses
Dry eye is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or the right kind of tears. This can be a constant problem or it can worsen and improve over time. Dry eye is not an uncommon condition, but it can make you uncomfortable. There are a number of ways our optometrist can help you if you are experiencing dry eye, including getting you the right kind of contact lenses if the ones you have are causing the problem.
Do You Need Contact Lenses and Suffer from Dry Eye?
Some people need contact lenses to improve their vision. Traditional types of contact lenses can further worsen these conditions and make the contact lens itself uncomfortable in the eye due to the lack of lubrication. Traditional contact lenses require moisture in the eye to keep them moving easily. When you don’t have enough lubrication, it makes it hard for the contact to stay moist enough.
We can help you with contact lenses for dry eye. These contact lenses are designed to work with your eyes' low production of tears, allowing you to get the vision improvement you need. Even though traditional contacts may seem impossible to wear, today’s products can help to improve your vision and do so comfortably.
Other Treatments for Dry Eye
There are other strategies for dealing with dry eyes. Allow our optometrist to help you to get the best level of care for you.
Other methods for treating dry eye include:
● Avoiding environmental triggers
● Using eye drops
● Treating your allergies
● Reducing screen time
● And more
Don’t ignore your symptoms of dry eye. Instead, set up a consultation with our optometrist.
