Your eye drops and eyeglasses may not be enough if you have these symptoms. ๐๏ธ
Burning eyes.
A gritty or foreign body sensation.
Itching.
Light sensitivity.
Frequent headaches.
These were the symptoms that brought one of our patients to Eyecare Deluxe.
Like many people, the patient assumed it was simply dry eyes or eye strain.
But a Complete Comprehensive Eye Examination revealed that the symptoms were caused by multiple coexisting eye conditions, not just one.
We found:
๐ Severe dry eye disease
๐ Demodex folliculorum infestation (tiny eyelash mites that can worsen irritation and inflammation)
๐ Mild follicular inflammation of the inner eyelids
๐ Borderline steep corneal curvature, requiring close monitoring for possible corneal disease
๐ Low to moderate myopia
๐ Accommodative dysfunction and mild left exophoria, contributing to headaches and visual fatigue during reading and other near tasks
Because the problems were interconnected, the treatment had to be comprehensive.
Our personalized management plan included:
โ
Prescription lubricating eye drops
โ
PhotoThermโข (Intense Pulsed Light Therapy) for severe dry eye disease
โ
Myopia management using the most appropriate option for the patient, including eyeglasses, orthokeratology, or specialty contact lenses
โ
Vision therapy to improve binocular vision and reduce eye strain
This case is an important reminder that one symptom rarely tells the whole story.
Many patients have several eye conditions at the same time. Treating only one may explain why symptoms continue despite using eye drops or getting new glasses.
If your eyes constantly burn, itch, feel dry, are sensitive to light, or you regularly experience headachesโฆ
Or if youโve already tried treatment but still donโt feel betterโฆ
It may be time for a Complete Comprehensive Eye Examination.
Sometimes, the answer isnโt a stronger prescription.
Itโs finding everything thatโs contributing to the problem.
