Do you have dry, irritated eyes? Dry eye is common and usually not serious, but it can be uncomfortable. The eye care (ophthalmology) department at Chetna Hospital assesses and treats dry eye, with a treatment plan based on the cause of your symptoms.
Understanding Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome can cause symptoms such as:
- Dryness and Irritation: Persistent feelings of dryness or grittiness in the eyes.
- Redness: Eyes that appear red and bloodshot.
- Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to light.
- Blurry Vision: Vision that fluctuates or becomes blurry.
Dry Eye Care at Chetna Hospital
Care is planned around your needs and may include:
- Assessment: Tests to find the underlying causes of your dry eye symptoms.
- Treatment plan: Depending on the cause, this may include lubricating or prescription eye drops, eyelid care, lifestyle changes or in-clinic procedures.
What to Expect
- Eye care team: An ophthalmology team that looks after a range of eye conditions.
- From diagnosis to follow-up: Assessment, treatment and follow-up visits to see how your eyes are doing.
- Managing symptoms: Dry eye is often long-term, so the aim is to ease symptoms and keep your eyes comfortable. Follow-up helps adjust treatment.
