What is Dry Eye?

Dry Eye results from a deficiency in tears or a decline in their quality, which are responsible for lubricating the eye. This dryness causes eye pain, severe redness, inflammation, and damage to the eye surface. In most cases, it can affect visual clarity. Dry Eye is considered one of the most common conditions among ophthalmic patients.

Symptoms of Dry Eye

Stinging or Scratchy Sensation: A feeling of roughness or burning in the eyes.

Severe Redness and Irritation.

Foreign Body Sensation: Feeling as if there is sand inside the eye.

Sticky Discharge: Noticing stringy mucus inside the eye.

Blurred or Distorted Vision.

Persistent Itching: A constant urge to rub the eyes.

Difficulty Driving at Night.

Discomfort with Contact Lenses.

Diagnosis (Integrated Treatment Unit)

Dr. Abdelrahman Shams, Consultant in Cataract Surgery, Vision Correction, and Dry Eye, diagnoses cases through an integrated treatment unit. He performs a comprehensive eye examination to ensure eye safety and identify the underlying cause of Dry Eye. Furthermore, he assesses the quantity of tears produced and tests tear quality by using specialized diagnostic drops containing dye, which help the doctor determine the condition of the eye surface and the specific type of tears.

Dr. Abdelrahman Shams treats Dry Eye using an integrated treatment unit equipped with the latest medical technologies to address the root cause of dryness based on each patient's specific condition.
