Understanding Dry Eyes

Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes are incapable of producing adequate tears or when the quality of produced tears is considered poor. Dry eyes cause irritation, discomfort, scratchiness, and in some cases, even blurred vision. Untreated dry eyes can significantly impact your ability to complete daily activities, read, socialize, or even drive.

Specialized Contact Lenses for Dry Eyes

At Vision Source Castle Hills, we can help provide traditional contact lenses along with comprehensive eye exams and specialized contact lenses for dry eyes, such as:

●          Daily Lenses: Daily disposable lenses may reduce the onset of dryness that is commonly associated with prolonged lens wear. Discarding disposable lenses is possible at the end of each day without requiring constant cleaning and/or routine maintenance.

●          Hydrogel Lenses: Hydrogel lenses are made of moisture-retaining material and are much softer than hard, permanent contact lenses. Hydrogel lenses allow for an increase of oxygen flow to the eyes, which can reduce dryness and irritation.

●          Scleral Lenses: Scleral lenses are optimal for those who have moderate to severe DES, or Dry Eye Syndrome. Scleral lenses create a fluid-filled sac that sits on the white part of the eye, also known as the sclera, which protects and hydrates the cornea of the eye(s).

●          Silicone Hydrogel Lenses: Another alternative lens option for those with dry eyes includes silicone hydrogel lenses. Silicone hydrogel lenses promote oxygen to the eyes, which can significantly reduce scratchiness, irritation, and overall dryness.
