Optometry Has Made Progress In Testing and Treating Dry Eye
Maple Ridge Eye Care treats patients in the area with quality and comprehensive eye care services. If you suffer from Dry Eye Disease, you already know that it can be more than just an inconvenience. Sometimes it is downright painful and causes visual disturbances.
Dry Eyes can be hard to diagnose in some cases; meibography can help. Our optometrists now use our new meibographer to diagnose and assess the extent of Dry Eye Disease. If you have been dealing with dry eye issues, we can help get to the root cause of your issue to help you find relief.
Meibography Makes Recognizing Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Easier
Meibography is a screening tool that has been described as a game-changer for the industry when it comes to diagnosing and treating those with Dry Eye Disease.
Many people with dry eyes are left to suffer or offered superficial solutions to ease symptoms because finding the cause can be difficult and it is hard to provide quality treatment without addressing a specific cause of the issue. Meibography is simple, non-invasive and it allows the optometrist to study the eye and possibly detect a meibomian gland dysfunction that may be causing your dry eyes.
Dry Eye can be an indicator of other eye conditions or diseases or it can be a result of your environment and allergen reactions. It is important to get any eye changes checked out, even persistent or sudden onset dry eye, because many eye diseases can be halted or at least slowed if caught early.
