Do your eyes feel irritated or like something is in them?
Are you experiencing redness, burning, excessive tearing, or occasional blurry vision?
You may have dry eye, a common condition where your eyes do not produce enough tears.
Sometimes, the only symptom of dry eye is recurring blurred vision.
Because there are many possible causes of dry eye, we gather a patient health history to better understand your risk.
For example, common medications such as diuretics or antihistamines increase dry eye risk.
Cataracts are a part of the aging process, but they do not have to interfere with your lifestyle.
A cataract is a cloudiness of the crystalline lens inside your eye.
As your lens gets cloudier, your vision will gradually become more blurred.
The human eye may best be compared to a camera.
When you take a picture, the lens in the front of the camera allows light through and focuses that light on the film.
When the light hits the film, a picture is taken.
The eye works in much the same way.
The lens of your eye is clear, and allows light to pass through.
