Frequently Asked Questions
What causes dry eye?
Dry eye can be related to reduced tear production, poor tear quality, prolonged screen use, contact lens wear, environmental conditions, medications and other health factors. At Uptown Eye Boutique in Johns Creek, we evaluate your symptoms and eye surface to help identify what may be contributing to dryness, burning, irritation or fluctuating vision.
Can dry eye make my vision blurry?
Yes. An unstable tear film can cause vision to fluctuate, especially during reading, computer use or prolonged periods of concentration. Dry eye can also cause burning, stinging, redness, a gritty sensation or excessive watering. A dry eye evaluation can help determine whether the tear film or ocular surface is contributing to your symptoms.
Why do dry eyes sometimes water excessively?
An irritated or unstable eye surface can trigger reflex tearing. Although the eyes appear watery, the tear film may still lack the quality or stability needed for lasting comfort.
Can computer use make dry eye worse?
Extended screen use can reduce blink frequency and contribute to dryness, burning or fluctuating vision. Breaks, intentional blinking and an individualized treatment plan may help.
Can contact lenses contribute to dry eye symptoms?
Contact lens material, fit, replacement schedule, wear time and the condition of the eye surface can all affect comfort. A contact lens and dry-eye evaluation can help identify contributing factors.
When do red or painful eyes require prompt attention?
Seek prompt evaluation for significant pain, sudden vision change, marked redness, light sensitivity, injury or discharge. These symptoms should not automatically be assumed to be routine dry eye.
