It is not uncommon for patients to already have used eye drops or currently be using eye drops during the initial evaluation. We would like to know your entire treatment history, including all over-the-counter drops that were used and even make-up and facial cleansers. We encourage you to bring these products along with you for your initial evaluation or make a list.
Scheduling your consultation is the first step. We are devoted to helping improve the quality of life and comfort for all of our patients. Your initial exam will include dry eye testing to help differentiate the type of dry eye disease present. From there a tailored treatment plan will be developed.
Dry Eye Disease is challenging to treat and there is no one-size-fits all treatment. we are constantly seeking the next best treatments for our patients, often doing research to determine how to best achieve improved outcomes for our patients. If there is a bump in your treatment path, we will work with you to determine the next best approach.
For many patients, Dry Eye Disease was undiagnosed for several years causing irreversible damage to the eye, rehabilitating the eye’s surface takes time but can be done. Don’t lose hope. Call today for your consultation to gain control of your symptoms.
