Ask Our Doctors a Question...
Dr. Viker: A large part of the examination is finding out what the patient is experiencing and determining the type of dry eye causing the symptoms. We look at the surface of the eye under a microscope to look at the quantity and the quality of the tear film.
Additionally, we examine the eyelids and the glands inside the eyelids to insure they are healthy. Typically, a drop of yellow dye is placed in the eye which helps us look for dry spots on the surface of the eye.
Dr. Gustafson: Ultraviolet rays are emitted by the sun and are invisible to the human eye due to their shorter wavelengths. UVA accounts for 95% of the solar radiation that reaches the surface of the Earth and is present during all daylight hours year-round.
UVB rays are more intense than UVA rays and their intensity varies by day and season; they are most intense between April and October and between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM.
Yes – there are many advantages to single-use contact lenses! Daily disposables offer the most convenient way to wear contact lenses; patients do not have to utilize disinfecting solutions or contact lens cases since the lenses are thrown away after one use.
In my experience, patients that wear single-use contact lenses benefit from a more comfortable wearing experience. Their lenses feel better throughout the day since they have a fresh, sterile lens every day. Additionally, I rarely see a patient that wears daily disposable lenses have an eye infection.
Daily disposable lenses are the easiest way to wear contact lenses. Patients don’t have to keep track of how old their lenses are, they don’t have to clean the lenses every night, and they don’t have to carry contact lens solution with them when they travel.
