Our Optometrist Can Treat Dry Eye
Dry eyes are common issues for patients in general. There are quite a few things that can cause dry eyes. As an optometrist, a few causes of dry eyes include illness, contact lenses, medications, and an indoor, dry environment. Regardless, an eye doctor can provide excellent dry eye care.
Our eye doctors are experienced, fully licensed, and caring. You receive fantastic care for your dry eyes if you visit a Summit Eyecare location. We have locations in Merlin, Pancheri, Pocatello, St. Anthony, Rexburg, and Idaho Falls, ID. No matter which one you visit, you will receive great care from a licensed optometrist.
Our Eye Doctor Can Offer Intense Pulsed Light
Intense pulsed light is an excellent treatment for dry eyes. This treatment is painless, and we can provide it at our locations. Therefore, you do not have to worry about receiving this dry eye treatment elsewhere. The most common cause of dry eyes is meibomian gland dysfunction. The meibomian glands secrete the oil that coats your tear film and eyes.
This oil ensures your tears do not evaporate too quickly. One of our eye doctors can perform this procedure. The intense pulsed light treatment delivers gentle light pulses to the area of your skin adjacent to your eyes.
These light pulses reduce any bacterial infection and decrease inflammation. The light pulses do this by releasing oil buildup, melting the thick secretions on your eyelids, and unclogging your meibomian glands. Since intense pulsed light treatment is safe and effective, many optometrists provide it for their patients.
