Albert Road Opticians of Wilmslow is is pleased to announce that they are offering the latest dry eye treatment available today. According to statistics, dry eye syndrome is a commonly encountered sickness for which there is no cure. Moreover, doctors say that some people might experience recurring episodes during their lifetime.
The Wilmslow opticians explain that before setting a dry eye treatment, doctors should decide whether this syndrome is caused by a decreased quantity of tears, an underlying disease or by tears that evaporate too fast.
One of the many treatments available at Albert Road Opticians are the lubricant treatments or the "artificial tears", as they are commonly called. They do replace the non-existing water from the tear film, but do not contain the vitamins and the nutrients available in normal tears. If the dry eye syndrome is caused by tears evaporating too fast, then the most suitable treatment would be the oily tear eye drops, according to specialists. Known for their ability to reinforce the oily part of the tear film, they also prevent the water evaporation from the surface of the eye. When applying this treatment, it is important to keep the eyes closed as the solution is sprayed on the edges of the eye lids. Afterwards, the patient can open the eyes and the solution will spread on the surface of the eye, creating a new oily film.
Opticians say that one of the main problems when it comes to having a long-term dry eye syndrome is the inflammation that occurs around the eye and sometimes even inside it. That's why it's always a good idea to have a back-up treatment in case such conditions might arise. Experts also warn people that most of the substances used have side effects, too. For example, the corticosteroid eye drops and ointments are very powerful when it comes to calming and reducing an inflammation, but might cause cataract formation. Also, oral tetracycline can only be used in low doses and for short periods of time.
The dry eye treatment may involve autologous serum eye drops when no other medications seem to work. It contains components of a patient's blood and it can only be approved by a commission. Lastly, if nothing works, Winslow opticians say that a surgery is the only option that remains.
The specialists at Albert Road Opticians offer the latest dry eye treatment after carefully examining and discussing the patient's lifestyle, diet, occupation and other factors that might influence the occurrence of this condition. After a 45-minute session, the eye care professionals at Albert Road Opticians will diagnose and establish the best treatment designed to serve the patient's needs. Any changes regarding the solutions applied on the eye that might occur along the treatment will also be discussed with these specialists.
