Adults should have an eye exam at least once a year. Children and people over 40 should have check‑ups every six months to detect silent eye conditions early.
Are redness and irritation always signs of pink eye?
Not necessarily. They may indicate conjunctivitis, keratitis, or severe dry eye. A slit‑lamp examination is needed for an accurate diagnosis.
Why am I still experiencing dry eye even after using artificial tears?
Artificial tears only provide temporary relief. Dry eye may be caused by blocked oil glands, eyelid inflammation, or imbalance in the tear film’s oil layer. The underlying cause needs to be treated.
Is long‑term dry eye dangerous?
If left untreated, chronic dry eye can lead to corneal ulcers, corneal scarring, and permanent vision impairment.
Can dry eye be completely cured?
With today’s advanced treatment protocols, we can fully control symptoms and help restore the eye’s natural tear‑producing function.
