Dry Eye Diagnosis
Dry Eye Disease can be complex and confusing to diagnose. At Dry Eye Institutes of America™ our specialty knowledge and sophisticated technology minimizes these challenges in several ways.
Understanding Your Condition
We take the time to consult with you on a personal level to get to know you better, and thoroughly review your medical and eye health history. If you’ve been treated for Dry Eyes previously, your doctor evaluates the results. Most of all, we want to completely understand what you’re going through and how your symptoms are affecting your daily life. This valuable information allows your doctor to accurately diagnose your Dry Eye severity to order the best possible treatment.
At Dry Eye Institutes of America™, our doctors can draw from a variety of diagnostic tests, technologies, and methods. The extent of what’s required can depend on your doctor’s evaluation, including your health, prescription medications, age, and other factors like what type of work you do. Our diagnostics coincide with our own carefully designed treatment regimen we apply to your specific condition.
Assessing Tear Quality
Allergy Testing
Itchy, irritated eyes are among the most common symptoms of Dry Eye Disease. However, these are also common to ocular (eye) allergies. Knowing exactly where the root cause lies is crucial to your diagnosis. Our specialty allergy testing can identify more than 60 common allergens, and determine if your condition is caused by allergies, dry eyes, or both.
