What Is Chronic Dry Eye?
When to seek medical advice
Although dry eyes don't usually cause permanent damage, diminished vision may prompt you to seek medical treatment.
See our doctors at Eyecare Associates of Lee's Summit, if you've had prolonged signs and symptoms of dry eyes, including red, irritated, tired or painful eyes. Our doctors can take steps to determine what's bothering your eyes or refer you to a specialist.
When your eyes are healthy, they make enough tears. This creates a healthy tear film that protects and nourishes the eye. When your eyes do not make enough tears, this can upset the balance of the tear film, allowing it to break down rapidly and create dry spots on the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. You may develop a certain type of Chronic Dry Eye.
Dr. Julie Anderson, with Eyecare Associates of Lee's Summit, speclalizes in the treatment of dry eye conditions.
Chronic Dry Eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) is a medical condition that can result from the eyes’ reduced ability to produce tears and protect your eyes. Chronic Dry Eye is a chronic condition and needs therapy on an ongoing basis. If left untreated, Chronic Dry Eye may damage the eye surface, may weaken your vision, and may increase the risk of eye infections.Constantly using over-the-counter eye drops may be a sign of Chronic Dry Eye
Some people who suffer from Chronic Dry Eye use over-the-counter (OTC) eye drops or artificial tears. Over time, some people need them more and more often. They may also find that using different kinds or brands of eye drops aren’t enough. Using OTC eye drops can help moisten the eyes and may provide short-term relief, but they cannot help increase tear production.
RESTASIS®: A prescription eye drop
RESTASIS® Ophthalmic Emulsion is the only prescription eye drop to help increase your eyes’ natural ability to produce tears, which may be reduced by inflammation due to Chronic Dry Eye. RESTASIS® Ophthalmic Emulsion did not increase tear production in patients using topical steroid drops or tear duct plugs. RESTASIS® can help you make more of your own tears.
