Eye Conditions We Treat at Family Eyecare Specialists

Understanding and Treating Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common vision problem caused by an irregular shape of the cornea or lens, leading to distorted or blurred vision. This irregular curvature changes the way light refracts to the retina, resulting in distorted images. Symptoms can vary but may include difficulty seeing at night and general blurry vision.
Regular eye exams are essential to monitor and manage astigmatism effectively. Treatment for astigmatism includes corrective eyewear such as glasses or contact lenses, which help to compensate for the irregular curve of the cornea or lens.
In some cases, refractive surgery may be recommended to reshape the cornea for clearer vision.
Addressing Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to persistent dryness and irritation. This condition can cause symptoms such as redness, burning, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. Dry eyes can significantly impact comfort and vision, especially in challenging environments like air-conditioned spaces or windy conditions.
Treatment Options for Dry Eye
- Lubricating Eye Drops: Over-the-counter or prescription drops to provide moisture
- Anti-inflammatory Medications: To reduce inflammation and improve tear production
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Increasing humidity at home, taking breaks from screens, and staying hydrated
- Advanced Therapies: Procedures like punctal plugs or LipiFlow to enhance tear production and retention
At Family Eyecare Specialists, we adopt a personalized approach to diagnosing and treating dry eye, ensuring that each patient receives targeted care tailored to their specific symptoms and underlying causes.
