Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when the front of the eye is not lubricated or kept moist due to insufficient tear production and / or problems with tear distribution . The purpose of tears is to keep the front of the eye moist , which keeps the surface smooth and enables light to pass through for clear vision . When our eyes are dry , they tend to feel tired , gritty , irritated or itchy . Irritation from wind or smoke and difficulties wearing contact lenses are also problems for those experiencing dry eyes .
As we age , we make fewer tears . Due to hormonal changes , women notice dry eyes more often than men . Medications , such as antihistamines , hormone replacement therapy and oral acne medications may lead to dry eyes .
AIO ’ s Dry Eye Clinics are specifically modified to limit the number of patients so our doctors can spend more time discussing the patients ’ symptoms and treatment options . The Dry Eye Clinics are currently being offered in West Mifflin , Monroeville , Uniontown and Wheeling , WV .
As part of the Dry Eye Clinic , our doctors are offering several products and treatment options to help ease the discomfort from dry eyes .
Dry Eye Product Options :
• Dry Eye Relief Mask
• Omega 3 Eye Vitamins
• Multiple options of Retaine ® ointments and drops to provide relief to dry , irritated eyes by resembling natural tears .
