Are Eye Drops Enough?

Many patients tell us they have been using over-the-counter eye drops every day.

While these can help temporarily, they do not diagnose the underlying problem. Some redness relief drops may even worsen dryness with frequent use.

If your symptoms keep returning, it may be time for a comprehensive eye exam with Athens Eye.

Call us to schedule.

This time of year, we see many patients with itchy, red, watery eyes. It is easy to assume it is allergies. However, dry eye can look very similar.

The difference matters because treatment depends on the cause. A comprehensive eye exam helps determine what is truly responsible for your symptoms and allows us to tailor a treatment plan.

If your eyes are uncomfortable this spring, schedule an appointment at Athens Eye.
