     The term 'dry eye' is used to describe a variety of conditions that result from inadequate lubrication of your eyes. Causes can include a dry environment, aging, hormonal changes, autoimmune diseases and certain medications. It's important to treat dry-eye and not let it go ignored. While only a doctor can confirm a dry eye diagnosis, there are many products available over the counter.

     Eye allergies are more than just annoying. If left untreated, they can lead to eye damage from excessive scratching or rubbing. Symptoms vary but the most common include itching, redness, watery eyes and lid swelling. Pollen, mold, pets and dust mites are a few popular culprits.

     Good nutrition is important for healthy vision. In fact, more and more research points to proper nutrition in the treatment and prevention of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). AMD is a progressive condition where clear, sharp central vision slowly deteriorates.

     Your contact lens solution is as important to y our eye health as the contact lens itself. Often, the solution you are using is responsible for decreased lens comfort and wearing time - not the lenses. Keeping your lenses clean, maintaining the lens surface are all critical factors in taking the best possible care of your contacts.
