We have an ongoing focus at Eye-Revive, to stay educated about current treatments that will empower our patients to address and manage their eye health concerns.Just a few years ago, we, as Optometrists experienced an alarming increase of patients presenting to our offices with complaints of dry eye. This included many new patients, but also returning patients with reoccurring dry eye symptoms. “Why is the hot face cloth not working, or my bottle of the OTC eye drops”, they asked? Whether it be a change in our environment or our daily routines, diagnostic testing and dry eye treatments have evolved immensely from those basic “quick fixes”.

Along with our colleagues, we strongly believe that a daily routine is the only way to protect vision and maintain healthy eyes. Similar to the routine of flossing and brushing our teeth for good dental health —our eyes need the same attention to protected and replenish good eye health. The best way to understand this is to explain what the ocular surface should be like in a normal eye.

Dry Eye Disease (DED) is continually being researched as it becomes more prevalent. Medical peers can report that DED can stem from other health issues, and can go undiagnosed. So through diligence and discipline, patients adhering to their eye health exams, can now be properly diagnosed by means of “metrics or measurements” and be prescribed a safe, daily protocol to treat their dry eyes for life.

Fortunately, Eye-Revive has developed a strong relationship with some of the most reputable and innovative companies, who specialize in dry eye treatments, diagnostics, and products that are safe for long durations of use.
