Question 1

Red, Burning, or Itchy Eyes

Accepted Answer

While red, burning, or itching eyes can also occur due to allergens, the persistence of these symptoms could point to a more long-term issue that requires treatment. Luckily, as your trusted provider for vision care, Ogden, UT local Country Hills Eye Care can help determine if Dry Eye Syndrome is the cause of your burning, red, or itchy eyes.

Question 2

Feeling as if There is Something in Your Eyes

Accepted Answer

Because tears are responsible for helping wash away the tiny debris that can become trapped in our eyes, it’s common to feel as if you have small pieces of sand or grit in your eye that you just can’t get rid of. Over-the-counter eye drops can help temporarily relieve these symptoms, but a more long-term solution can be found by your optometrist in Ogden, UT.

Question 3

Sensitivity to Light

Accepted Answer

If you’ve noticed a sudden sensitivity to light that accompanies other listed symptoms, this can also be an indication of Dry Eye Syndrome. Though it’s not precisely understood why dry eyes can lead to sensitivity to light, it may be related to inflammation of nerves near the cornea.

Question 4

Irritation from Contact Lenses

Accepted Answer

Dry eye symptoms often become more pronounced for those who were contact lenses, since your contacts can also begin to dry out. Your optometrist in Ogden, UT can help by prescribing contact lenses for dry eyes, and by helping treat your Dry Eye Syndrome.
