WHAT CAUSES DRY EYES?

Saturday, March 23rd, 2013

Dry eye remains a major cause of visual discomfort for many patients.  This condition which affects women more than men is often the result of increasing age, environmental changes, contact lens wear and systemic medication.  Patients often complain of fluctuating vision, burning, foreign body sensation, and eye discomfort.  Many treatments exist for the treatment of dry eye including the use of artificial tears, nutritional supplements such as HydroEye, Restasis, and punctual plugs.   If you, a family member, or friend, suffer from dry eye, red in the eye, or keratoconjunctivits sicca, contact your eye doctor at The Ophthalmic Center located in East Setauket, Long Island, to arrange an evaluation.  For more information please contact The Ophthalmic Center serving Suffolk County Long Island.

COMMON INFECTIONS OF THE EYE

Tuesday, September 18th, 2012

Corneal infections can be problematic impacting vision considerably.  Herpes keratitis is a particularly common infection of the cornea which can lead to scarring and loss of vision if not appropriately treated.  The fellowship trained corneal specialists at The Ophthalmic Center located in East Setauket, Long Island are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of herpes keratitis.  This condition, similar to a “cold sore” reaction in the cornea can begin in childhood as recurrent episodes of “pink eye.”  Proper intervention is required to manage this eye condition which in almost all cases can be controlled and vision maintained indefinitely.  If you, a family member, or friend, suffer from Herpes keratitis or corneal scarring from dendritiform keratitis please contact the eye doctors of The Ophthalmic Center located in East Setauket Long Island to arrange an evaluation.  For more information please contact The Ophthalmic Center serving Suffolk County Long Island.
