dry eyes

individual treatments for a more than annoying symptom

Many people suffer from dry eyes - but that doesn't have to be the case! Although the triggers for this are very diverse, there are dedicated diagnostic and individual treatment methods. Let our medical team, Dr. Alexander and Dr. Sheila Fous, advise!

can have many causes

Above all, dry eyes is a symptom that many of our patients simply put up with at first. It is not always the case that a doctor is consulted directly. The symptoms then come to light during control and routine examinations - we definitely recommend an early examination in order to clarify the symptoms in detail.

There are a number of causes for pronounced dryness of the eyes, these can be both external factors and clinical pictures. In most cases, screen work, but also cosmetics and preservatives lead to a dehydration effect. Allergies are also one of the most common reasons for this type of complaint, but in rare cases metabolic or circulatory diseases also trigger dry eyes. We therefore recommend that you investigate the possible causes in detail.

Precise examinations for a tailor-made treatment

In many cases, dry eyes are accompanied by itching or burning and cause us to pinch and tense the eye area - which in turn can lead to headaches and tension. As you can see, there are many reasons for a precise clarification of any dryness that occurs. At the Eye Center in Tuchlauben, we carry out an exact measurement of the tear film. In addition, a representation of the so-called Meibomian glands is a helpful diagnostic measure. Based on the results and a comprehensive medical history, we can not only narrow down and determine the causes, but also suggest a targeted therapy. In the vast majority of cases, there is rapid success and a noticeable and long-term improvement in the symptoms - this also gives you a lasting improvement in the quality of your vision.
