Four questions you may have about glaucoma

Glaucoma is often discussed when you get an eye exam or in any conversations about a serious eye condition. But what is glaucoma exactly and what are the warning signs? And is there anything you can do to prevent it from happening or to treat it once you have the disease?

These are common questions and they need answers, especially since only half of the 3 million Americans ages 40 and older with glaucoma know they have it, according to the National Eye Institute.

Each of the questions above is answered below to help provide a more thorough understanding about glaucoma.

What is glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a group of diseases that cause damage to the eye’s optic nerve, which can result in vision loss and blindness. Several studies have been conducted about the disease. According to The Eye Diseases Prevalence Research Group, it is estimated that more than 3 million Americans have glaucoma but only half of those people know they have it. Glaucoma is also the second leading cause of blindness in the world, according to the World Health Organization.

What are the warning signs?

In most cases, there are no warning signs of glaucoma. This is because the most common form of the disease, open-angle glaucoma, has virtually no symptoms. In addition, no pain is typically associated with the increased eye pressure caused by the disease. The only way to detect glaucoma is through a comprehensive eye exam. At Utah Eye Centers, you can get this exam to find out if you have glaucoma or any other eye diseases.

How does glaucoma happen?

The most common form of glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma, starts with a buildup of fluid that increases the pressure in one or both eyes. This buildup is caused by the slow clogging of the eye’s drainage canals. The pressure produced by this backup then damages the optic nerve, which is the nerve fibers that transfer visual images to your brain. Glaucoma first starts affecting your side vision and as it progresses, vision loss becomes more noticeable. This can then lead to tunnel vision, where you can only see straight ahead. If not controlled, glaucoma can lead to serious and even permanent vision loss.

How can you prevent and treat glaucoma?

If glaucoma is discovered in its early stages, your doctor can control pressure through medication or surgery and can delay the progression of the disease. This is why it is always important to have a comprehensive eye exam at least every one to two years to check for glaucoma or any other eye issues.

When was the last time you scheduled an eye exam? If it has been a while or you are simply not sure, call us at 801-476-0494 and we can answer your questions and set up an appointment with your doctor.

Which type of eye drop is best for you?

Have you ever had a swollen eye, dry eyes, pink eye, or even red eyes or itchiness? Eye drops tend to be a common remedy for these ailments. But how do you know if you are choosing the right one?

The best approach to solve this issue is to first call Utah Eye Centers at 801-476-0494 and schedule an appointment with your eye doctor. Your doctor will help you know which eye drop is right for you and your situation.

Over-the-counter eye drops vs. prescription eye drops

Over-the-counter eye drops are appropriate in many cases. They also can be cheaper and more convenient. These eye drops, however, won’t be the right remedy when symptoms worsen or persist. That’s why you should always consult your eye doctor to rule out a potentially sight-threatening infection or disease.

In addition, many over-the-counter eye drops tend to dry out your eye and can create more problems. That is where prescription eye drops are more beneficial. You will need to see your eye doctor to get a prescription eye drop.

Eye drops for dry eyes

Dry eyes are a common symptom for many people. Lubricating eye drops, also known as artificial tears, can be purchased over the counter and can provide temporary relief for dry eyes. If your symptoms are more severe, you may need a prescription eye drop, gel or ointment.

Eye drops for red eyes

Decongestant eye drops, also known as whitening eye drops, get rid of red eyes by shrinking the tiny blood vessels on the white part of the eye (sclera), which in turn, makes them less visible. While these eye drops can eliminate redness, they can be masking a more serious problem. These eye drops can also dry out your eye, which can lead to even more redness for some people.

Eye drops for allergies

Antihistamine eye drops help to remedy itchy eyes due to allergies. If itching, however, persists even after using these eye drops, visit your eye doctor to get prescription eye drops or any needed oral medications.

Again, before using any of these eye drops, consult an eye doctor. You can schedule an appointment with us at Utah Eye Centers to fully evaluate your eye condition. This way, you can rest assured that if there is a serious problem or not, you will be taken care of.

Seven common causes for itchy eyes

Having itchy eyes is incredibly uncomfortable. The natural reaction we all have to itchy, watery eyes to is to rub and scratch them and hope by doing those things it will make the itch go away. In reality, however, this causes much harm by adding to the irritation and even spreading germs, which can lead to an infection as well as damage to your eyes.

Itchy Eyes

So, when you do have an eye itch, what causes it and how can you relieve the discomfort you are experiencing? The following are the most common causes of the eye itch as well as solutions for each one.

1. Allergies

Most often, itchy eyes are caused by food, animal or environmental allergies. Medical professionals encourage patients to be aware of any triggers that may cause the allergy. If you are unsure, consult your doctor.

2. Dry eye

Dry eye is a condition where a person does not have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. If left untreated, it can cause burning, itchy or stinging eyes, intermittent blurring of vision and watery eyes. Eye professionals typically recommend artificial tears. They also caution patients to avoid redness-reducing drops because they can dry out your eye. As always, however, consult your eye doctor for the best treatment for your eyes.

3. Something in your eye

A piece of sand from the beach or a speck of dust can be all it takes to make your eyes itchy all over. Instead of rubbing or scratching your eye, wash it out with water or artificial tears.

4. Pink eye

If eye itchiness is paired with a pink or red color, discharge coming from the eye or any of the other symptoms, contact an eye doctor. You may also need a dose of antibiotics, depending on what’s causing the pink eye. In the meantime, don’t touch your eye — pink eye is super contagious and you can easily spread it to your other eye or another person.

5. Contact lens

If you wear contacts daily, you may experience itchy eyes from time to time, especially if you are wearing them too long. If you wear your contacts too long, you may develop dry eye. Allergies can also make your eyes even itchier while wearing contacts. The best thing to do in these situations is to avoid wearing your contacts for more than 10-12 hours and to take out your contacts and wear glasses instead if your eyes are too itchy.

6. Digital eye strain

Thanks to the advances in technology today, we are all spending more time in front of a screen than ever before. This constant exposure can cause your eyes to be strained over time and create stress, which can then lead to itchiness. To manage eye strain, use the trusty 20-20-20 rule: Look at something about 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes of digital device use.

7. Irritating products

Some chemicals or ingredients in personal care products can irritate and itch your skin, which can also cause your eyes to get itchy. Be aware of any lotions, shaving creams, oils, soaps, shampoos, conditioners, perfumes/colognes, face wash or air fresheners, that may be causing irritation or itchiness on your skin or eyes. If any of these products are causing a problem, stop using it and throw it away.

Each of the seven things above can cause your eyes to itch. The best thing you can do is to be on the lookout for anything that may be itching or bothering your eyes in some way. If you have any questions about itchy eyes, contact us and schedule an appointment with one of our trusted eye doctors today.

Six New Year’s resolutions for better eye health

Better Eye Health

Now that 2018 is in full swing, you’ve likely set a few goals already for the new year. While you may not have thought about it, there are several New Year’s resolutions you can make for 2018 that will benefit your eye health, including:

Do not wear your contacts longer than recommended

How long do you wear your contacts? Experts recommend you should not wear your them longer than 10 to12 hours per day. If you wear your contacts too long, you run the risk of getting eye infections as well as developing serious eye diseases.

Always dump out used saline solution

A majority of contact lens-related eye infections comes from not taking proper care of them. This includes dumping out your contact solution that you used to store your lenses overnight. Before you take off your contact lenses at night, you need to dump out the solution from the night before, if you have not already, and fill your case with new solution.

Make sure your eyes are protected from UV rays

Your regular glasses, sunglasses, and contacts should all have UV protection. Limiting UV exposure can help reduce the risk of skin cancer of the eyelids and cataracts as well as many other conditions. People can check Digital Mammograms in Lincoln, Nebraska for cancer screening.

Take visual breaks to avoid eyestrain

If you spend a significant amount of time on a computer, tablet, smartphone or another screen, remember the 20/20-20/20 Rule. This means looking up from your work every 20 minutes to an object 20 feet or more way for at least 20 seconds. Doing this can dramatically eliminate any eyestrain and can improve the comfort of your neck.

Get your kids eye examined

Many serious eye issues can be prevented if they are detected early. If you have children, set a 2018 resolution to get their eyes examined.

Eat healthily and take your vitamins and supplements

Multiple studies show that taking your vitamins daily as well as supplements can help decrease your chances of developing an eye condition or disease. Be sure to consult your optometrist before taking any vitamin or supplement.

Five simple tips for healthy vision

Your eyes are a vital component of your overall health. There are a number of things you need to do make sure your vision is in the best shape possible. Follow these tips to ensure your eyes are healthy now and for many years to come.

Know your family’s eye health history

Ask your family members about their eye health history. It is important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with any eye conditions or diseases since many of these are hereditary. This information will help you determine if you are at a higher risk of developing an eye condition or disease.

Eat better for better eyes

Your eyes are what you eat. You will need to eat more than carrots, however, to keep your vision in tip-top shape. Eat a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, especially dark leafy greens, such as spinach, kale and collard greens. Several studies also show fish that is high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as tuna, salmon and halibut, can be beneficial to your eyes.

Maintain a healthy weight

Being overweight or obese can increase your risk of developing diabetes and other systemic conditions, which can lead to vision loss. Maintaining a healthy weight can help you avoid these issues.

Wear shades

Anytime you are outside and the sun is out, you should have some shades on. Sunglasses will help protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays. When purchasing sunglasses, look for ones that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation.

Get an annual eye exam

When was your last eye exam? Getting your eyes checked at least once per year is recommended by vision professionals.
Each of the tips above will help you maintain healthy vision throughout your lifetime. If you are due for an eye exam or need to get your eyes checked due any issue or anything else concerning you, schedule an appointment with our staff at Utah Eye Centers by calling 801-476-0494.
