Treatment
Contact Lenses
 Contact lenses are small, thin, curved pieces of plastic or silicone that are placed 
directly on the surface of the eye to correct vision problems such as 
nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. They are an alternative to 
eyeglasses and can be worn for various reasons, such as for cosmetic reasons or 
for sports or other activities where eyeglasses may be inconvenient. Before 
wearing contact lenses, it is important to consult with an eye doctor, or 
optometrist or ophthalmologist, to determine if contact lenses are the right option 
for you and to ensure that the lenses are properly fitted. The doctor will also 
provide instructions on how to properly care for and clean the lenses.
Dry eye
 Dry eye is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears that are produced 
are of poor quality. This can cause symptoms such as itching, burning, redness, and a feeling of 
dryness or grittiness in the eyes. In severe cases, dry eye can cause damage to the surface of the 
eye, leading to vision problems.
 Dry eye can be caused by a variety of factors, including age, certain medical conditions, medications, 
and environmental factors such as dry or windy conditions. For example, people who spend a lot of 
time in front of screens, or those who live in dry or windy climates are more likely to develop dry 
eyes.
 In summary, dry eye is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears that 
are produced are of poor quality. It can cause symptoms such as itching, burning, and a feeling of 
dryness or grittiness in the eyes. It can be caused by a variety of factors and treated with a 
combination of methods, such as using artificial tears, warm compresses, limiting screen time, 
wearing sunglasses, taking omega-3 supplements, or prescription eye drops or ointments.
Annual Eye Checkup
 An annual eye checkup, also known as a comprehensive eye exam, is an examination of the 
eyes and vision performed by an eye doctor or ophthalmologist. The exam includes a series of 
tests and evaluations to assess the overall health of the eyes, as well as any vision problems 
that may be present. The eye doctor will also perform a refraction test to determine your 
eyeglass or contact lens prescription, if needed. This test helps to determine the right lens 
strength to correct any refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness and 
astigmatism.
  In summary, an annual eye checkup is an examination of the eyes and vision performed by an 
eye doctor or ophthalmologist. It includes a series of tests and evaluations to assess the overall 
health of the eyes, as well as any vision problems that may be present, such as visual acuity, 
refraction, and a dilated eye exam. It is recommended that most people have an annual eye 
checkup, starting at age 60, but some people may need more frequent eye exams.
