Conjunctivitis, also known as “pink eye,” can have several different causes. Each type of conjunctivitis has different presentations and needs different forms of treatment.

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, or you think you might have conjunctivitis, give our office a call to schedule an exam.

Searches for “dry eye” have doubled for a reason.

More and more people are dealing with it, and most still don’t really know how to treat it properly.

It often starts as something small...until it begins to affect your work, your focus, and your overall quality of life.

The tricky part is that not all dry eye is the same.

What works for one person might do nothing for someone else.

That’s why understanding what’s actually going on is key, not just masking the symptoms.

If this is something you’ve been dealing with, it might be worth speaking with an eye care professional

During the summer, it’s not uncommon to experience symptoms of dry eye, especially after turning the fans on high and blasting the air conditioning.

One of the most commonly misunderstood signs of dry eye is excessive tearing. Most people think watery eyes means it’s impossible for their eyes to be dry. In reality, the eyes are overcompensating for the dryness by watering more.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, make sure to schedule an exam to further discuss causes and treatment options with our doctors.
