Increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids can sometimes mitigate the irritating symptoms of dry eye. Altering your diet or taking supplements to include sources of these acids may be recommended but should be discussed with your primary care doctor in advance.
While digital eye exams can measure vision and provide data to help choose the right eyeglass prescription, they can detect a number of other eye health issues as well. Your entire visual system is evaluated, measuring the effectiveness of how your eyes, brain, and body interact. Digital eye exams can detect early eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration. They assess corneal health and allow doctors to diagnose vision problems that only occur at night, such as starbursts and halos. In addition, they can also identify early signs of diabetes, high cholesterol, or hypertension.
