Let's take a deeper look into how The Eye Institute can help.
So what exactly causes dry eyes? The eyes require hydration and protection. When an imbalance or deficiencies in the tear film is caused, this can result in dry eye.
Causes of dry eye may include:
• Age
• Immune system disorders such as Sjogren's syndrome
• Eyelid dysfunction
• Trauma
• Atrophic meibomian glands
• Medications
• Constant exposure to moving air (ceiling fans, etc.)
• Long periods of computer use
At The Eye Institute, the Dry Eye Exams include:
•A tear film exam
•Lipiview II Lipid Layer/Blink Imaging/Meibography - This test measures the thickness of the lipid layer of tears, blinking patterns, and a structural image of the meibomian glands.
•A biomicroscopy of the eye surface with Vital Dyes.
•Korb Meibomian Gland Evaluator Analysis.
Each exam optometrist will ask about medication history, work habits, and everyday environments. They will conduct an in-depth examination to determine what's causing the problem. For some, treatments are eye drops, cleaners, and scrubs. An Optometrist will determine the best approach for dry eye.
