Dry Eye Treatment From Our Eye Doctor In San Antonio And Floresville

Many people experience dry eyes from time to time. It’s a normal condition that can be caused by age, seasonal allergies, weather conditions, certain medications and conditions, and even sleeplessness. Mild dry eye can be relieved with over-the-counter drops like artificial tears. However, if dry eye begins to occur frequently, it may be due to an underlying condition that needs to be addressed by an eye doctor. At Vision 3C Specialists, our team works with patients throughout the San Antonio and Floresville areas to address any issues they are having with their eyes.

Diagnosing Dry Eye

When patients report having issues with dry eyes, there are several tests that our eye doctor may perform to diagnose what may be causing the problem. Our ophthalmologist will begin with a comprehensive eye exam. This will let Dr. Trujillo know your current eye health status. He may also conduct a Schirmer’s test to measure the volume of your tears. He may even use eye drops that have special dye in them to allow him to examine your cornea and the quality of your tears.

Dry Eye Treatment Options

Depending on the severity of your dry eye and the cause of the problem, our eye doctor may recommend several options. For occasional dry eyes, we may simply recommend over-the-counter artificial tears. If your condition is caused by medications, we suggest that you consult your physician to find another medication option to prevent the side effects. For severe cases, our eye doctor may want to close your tear ducts to prevent your tears from evaporating too quickly.
