Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes don’t produce sufficient or the right quality of tears. Symptoms can range from a stinging or burning sensation to excessive tearing during stressful times.
Our dedicated team understands the discomfort this condition brings. We are committed to providing personalized care, beginning with a comprehensive eye examination to pinpoint potential issues. The examination includes:
- Corneal Curvature Assessment: This enables us to understand the shape and size of your eye, which is vital for determining the severity of dry eye syndrome and planning treatment.
- Pupil Size Determination: By measuring your pupil size, we can observe how your eyes respond to light and if there are underlying problems causing dry eye syndrome.
- Tear Film Evaluation: We evaluate the stability and quality of your tear film, crucial for managing dry eye syndrome.
We offer a variety of treatment options for dry eye syndrome, including prescription eye drops, lifestyle adjustments, and occasionally minor surgical procedures. Our team is always on hand to answer your queries and guide you towards improved eye health. Experience exceptional patient care at Art of Optiks.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a prevalent eye condition characterized by an irregularly shaped cornea or lens that hinders light from focusing correctly on the retina. This irregularity can result in blurred or distorted vision at all distances, eye discomfort, and headaches.
At Art of Optiks, we employ sophisticated diagnostic tools to accurately detect and assess astigmatism. Our comprehensive eye examinations include:
- Refraction Test: This test assists us in determining your eye’s refractive error and the correct prescription to rectify it.
- Keratometry: This process lets us measure the curvature of your cornea and identify any irregularities contributing to astigmatism.
- Corneal Topography: For more complex cases, we utilize this imaging technique to map the surface of your cornea and gain a detailed understanding of its shape and power.
Based on these tests’ outcomes, we offer a variety of treatment options customized to your specific needs and lifestyle. These may encompass prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, Ortho-K lenses, or refractive surgery. Experience this personalized approach to astigmatism treatment at Art of Optiks.
