Watch for These Common Eye Problems
- Excessive tears – This can be caused by an uncomfortable contact lens or by other conditions, such as dry eye syndrome. There is usually no reason for concern. However, if the eye is swollen or tender when touched, or you also have a fever, you should schedule an exam at Elmquist Eye Group.
- “Pink eye” –If you notice pink coloring in the white part of the eye which is often accompanied by mucus, it may be a condition called conjunctivitis, which is also known as “pink eye”. This condition is very contagious. Avoid touching the eye, and try warm compresses and over-the-counter eye drops. If there is no improvement, call us to schedule an appointment.
- Burning, itchy eyes – Itchiness, redness, and stinging or burning of the eye and/or eyelids could be an annoying condition called blepharitis. Try washing the eye gently and applying warm compresses. If it persists, it could be associated with an eye infection, dry eyes or another condition. Elmquist Eye Group can help you decide on the best treatment.
- Floaters and flashes of light– A few floating spots and specks are normal as we age. However, a large increase in spots along with bright flashes of light may signal a detached retina. Make an appointment for an eye exam right away.
- Blurred vision –When vision becomes blurry, it may be a sign of a serious eye problem. If you’re having trouble reading, watching TV or working on your computer, even when wearing glasses or contact lenses, you may have a cataract. If colors seem blurry and washed out or dull, you may have the early symptoms of Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Schedule an appointment with us for a dilated eye exam as soon as possible.
