INDUSTRY INSIGHT EYE CARE SPONSORED CONTENT AIO Introduces The Dry Eye Clinic Dry Eye Syndrome diagnosis and treatment from one of Pittsburgh’s most trusted eye care and eye surgery centers Do you suffer with: • Gritty, Sandy • Burning or Stinging? Sensation? • Watering Eyes? • Irritated, Red Eyes? • Tired Eyes? …AIO CAN HELP! D ry Eye Syndrome occurs when the front of the eye is not lubricated or kept moist due to insufficient tear production and/or problems with tear distribution. The purpose of tears is to keep the front of the eye moist, which keeps the surface smooth and enables light to pass through for clear vision. When our eyes are dry, they tend to feel tired, gritty, irritated or itchy. Irritation from wind or smoke and difficulties wearing contact lenses are also problems for those experiencing dry eyes. As we age, we make fewer tears. Due to hormonal changes, women notice dry eyes more often than men. Medications, such as antihistamines, hormone replacement therapy and oral acne medications may lead to dry eyes. AIO’s Dry Eye Clinics are specifically modified to limit the number of patients so our doctors can spend more time discussing the patients’ symptoms and treatment options. The Dry Eye Clinics are currently being offered in West Mifflin, Monroeville, Uniontown and Wheeling, WV. As part of the Dry Eye Clinic, our doctors are offering several products and treatment options to help ease the discomfort from dry eyes.
