Daily Habits That Can Worsen Dry Eye Symptoms

Dry eye syndrome is a condition that affects the eye’s ability to stay properly lubricated, leading to discomfort and irritation. Tears play a crucial role in keeping your eyes healthy and vision clear, but when tear production is insufficient or the quality of tears is poor, the delicate surface of the eyes can become dry and inflamed. Understanding dry eye syndrome is the first step toward finding relief and protecting your long-term eye health

Common Eye Emergencies and what to do

Any and all eye emergencies should first be evaluated at the eye doctor, not an urgent care or emergency room.


Steps to Preserve Eye Health

Annual Eye Exams: Eye exams are essential, even if you have perfect vision. Eye exams can catch conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and AMD in their early stages. Avant Eyes recommends annual eye examinations with retinal photography to detect early stage disease.


At-home remedies for Dry Eye Symptoms

Dry eye can be caused by several factors, ranging from environmental conditions to health issues and lifestyle habits. It is defined by inflammation, lack of moisture, corneal nerve degeneration and/or an imbalance of salts and water in your tears.
