Conditions Treated at Manufacturer Direct Eyewear
Optometrists specialize in diagnosing, treating, and managing several eye conditions. From common issues like dry eye to more complex refractive errors like astigmatism, our optometrist at Manufacturer Direct Eyewear in Deerfield Beach, FL, can help maintain eye health for people of all ages. We are here to tell you about the conditions we can treat at our office to keep your eyes healthy and your vision strong.
Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome is a prevalent condition characterized by insufficient lubrication and moisture on the eye’s surface. Symptoms include irritation, redness, and a gritty sensation. Our optometrist can use several dry eye treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve your vision. Dry eye treatment may include artificial tears, prescription eye drops, and lifestyle modifications.
Refractive Errors
Refractive vision errors are conditions where the shape of your eye prevents light from focusing on the retina correctly, leading to blurry vision. These vision errors include nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Depending on your refractive vision error, you may have difficulty seeing objects up close, at arm’s length, or in the distance. Our optometrist performs eye exams to assess refractive vision errors and prescribes eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct them.
Presbyopia
Presbyopia is an age-related condition that impacts near vision, typically affecting people around 40 and older. This condition occurs when the eye’s lens loses flexibility, causing people to experience difficulty focusing on close objects, eye strain, and headaches. Our optometrist addresses presbyopia with multifocal eyeglasses, bifocal or progressive lenses, or specialized contact lenses to accommodate varying visual needs.
Computer Vision Syndrome
Computer vision syndrome has become an increasingly common condition in the modern age as our lives become more entwined with digital devices. Prolonged screen exposure can lead to symptoms like eye strain, dryness, headaches, and blurred vision. Treatment for computer vision may include ergonomic adjustments, prescribed specialized lenses for computer use, and lifestyle changes to ease symptoms and prevent long-term eye strain.
Styes and Pink Eye
Styes and pink eye are two eye infections that our optometrist frequently encounters. Styes manifest as painful, red bumps along the eyelid caused by a bacterial infection or blockage of oil glands. Pink eye presents as redness, itching, and discharge due to viral or bacterial infection or allergic reactions. Our optometrist may prescribe antibiotics, warm compresses, or antihistamines to manage symptoms and promote healing.
