Dry Eye Relief
Here in Colorado, dry eyes are a common problem for many people and are usually the result of impaired tear production. Contact lenses, certain medications, medical conditions and the aging process can all cause impaired tear production, with the result of dry eyes. Eye drops and humidifiers help a little, but dry eye relief is usually temporary.
There is a simple analysis, called Touch Tear MicroAssayTM, that determines the quantity and quality of your tears. If it is determined that the Lactoferrin (protein) level in your tears is low, your health insurance may pay for most of the treatment procedure.
Treatment for dry eyes involves a simple, non-surgical procedure that provides long-term relief. It involves the use of permanent, yet removable plugs called Punctum plugs. Punctum plugs have a very high rate of success and they can be inserted easily and painlessly by an eye care professional. The idea is simple. Tiny silicone plugs are inserted into your tear drainage ducts (puncta) where they act as a dam. Your tears have no place to go but onto the surface of your eyes!
Punctum plugs are also used for many patients having LASIK surgery since keeping the eyes moist is important during the healing process.
Diagnosis of this condition and insertion of the Punctum plugs may be performed in any of our offices including: Colorado Springs, Canon City, Salida, and Dillon.
