Sunglasses, They Make You Look Great!

What is ocular rosacea? – also known as rosacea eyes

If you have rosacea and suffer from eye problems such as irritation, inflammation, decreased vision, or conjunctivitis, you could be suffering from ocular rosacea and may need treatment from your doctor.

In order for an ophthalmologist to make a diagnosis, they will need to examine your symptoms, and your treatment will depend on the symptoms and the severity of the disease.

Why do you need an ophthalmologist as opposed to an optometrist to diagnose your symptoms?

Ophthalmologists are different from optometrists in their training and in what they can diagnose and treat.

An Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor, and licensed to practice medicine and surgery, and treats all eye diseases, performs eye surgery and prescribes and fits eyeglasses and contact lenses.

Ophthalmologists are required to complete:

• Four years of college and four years of medical school
• One year of internship
• At least three years of residency (hospital-based training) in the diagnosis and
• Medical and surgical treatment of eye disorders

An optometrist is licensed to practice optometry and determine the need for eyeglasses and contact lenses, prescribe optical correction and screen for abnormalities of the eye. In some states they can prescribe a limited number of drugs to help diagnose and treat certain eye conditions, but they do not generally perform surgery.

Optometrists attend two to four years of college and four years of optometric college.

The feeling of grittiness in the eyes

Some people with ocular rosacea have reported that certain triggers can cause their condition to be worse. The triggers include:

• Heat (including hot baths)
• Heavy exercise
• Sunlight
• Wind exposure
• Very cold temperatures
• Hot or spicy foods and drinks
• Drinking alcohol
• Menopause
• Emotional stress
• Humidity

Treatment

Ocular rosacea symptoms are usually treated with oral antibiotics, such as tetracycline or doxycycline. Your doctor may also prescribe eye drops to increase tear production. They may also recommend that you use a humidifier or prescribe silicone plugs to close the tear drainage ducts – especially if you live in a dry climate.

Although there is no cure for ocular rosacea, the good news is that it can be treated in order to alleviate and lessen the symptoms.

If you choose eyewear that reflects and enhances your personality then there is nothing to stop you from becoming the cynosure of any gathering. To achieve this, the variety and quality that you need is easily available in e-stores.

One of the most straightforward ways of resolving the lenses and dry eyes issue is by making use of soft lenses instead. Soft contact lenses are specially designed to allow greater volumes of oxygen into the eye and this is typically achieved by the materials typically used to create them which are usually very lightweight and porous as well
