Manage episode 436315807 series 3595402
In this episode of Explain It to Me, Doc, we’re joined by Dr. Wesley and Dr. Holland of Complete Eye Care of Medina to explore one of the most common and underdiagnosed ocular conditions: dry eye disease.
Together, we discuss:
- The underlying causes of dry eye, including inflammation, lifestyle factors, and age-related changes
- The symptoms that patients often overlook or misattribute
- The diagnostic process and what a dry eye evaluation entails
- The latest treatment options, including at-home care and in-office therapies such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), radiofrequency, ZEST eyelid cleaning, and low-level light therapy (LLLT)
- How modern dry eye treatments can also offer cosmetic benefits, such as improved skin texture and reduced fine lines
Whether you’re experiencing chronic dryness, blurry vision, or irritation—or you’re a provider seeking clearer ways to explain these concepts to your patients—this conversation offers actionable insights into how dry eye can be effectively treated today.
