🔥 Burning Eyes? Here’s What Your Eyes Are Trying to Tell You 👀

Burning, stinging, or gritty eyes are common — but they’re not “normal.” They’re often caused by dry eye disease, allergies, screen strain, contact lens irritation, or environmental exposure (wind, smoke, indoor heating).

What You Can Do:
✅ Blink more often when using screens
✅ Use preservative-free artificial tears
✅ Avoid rubbing your eyes
✅ Wear sunglasses outdoors
✅ Stay hydrated
✅ Take regular screen breaks (20-20-20 rule)

If symptoms persist, worsen, or affect your vision, it’s time for a professional evaluation. Early treatment can prevent long-term irritation and surface damage.

At the office of Dr. Eric Shnayder, we diagnose the root cause and provide personalized treatment to restore comfort and protect your vision.

👁️ Know the Signs of Macular Degeneration 👁️

Macular degeneration affects the macula, the part of the retina responsible for clear central vision. This type of vision is essential for everyday tasks like reading, driving, and recognizing faces. While side (peripheral) vision often remains normal, advanced macular degeneration can seriously impact daily life.

There are two forms: dry and wet.
➡️ Dry macular degeneration accounts for nearly 90% of cases and usually develops slowly. It occurs when tiny yellow deposits called drusen build up beneath the macula, causing gradual thinning of retinal cells.

🚨 Common warning signs include:
• Blurry or dark spots in central vision
• Straight lines appearing wavy
• Trouble seeing fine details
• Difficulty distinguishing similar colors
• Slow vision recovery after bright light exposure

Early detection makes a difference. If you’re noticing changes in your vision, schedule an exam with Board-Certified Ophthalmologist Dr. Eric Shnayder.

Glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of sight” because it can slowly damage your vision with no early warning signs. By the time symptoms appear, permanent vision loss may have already occurred. That’s why routine eye exams are the most effective way to detect glaucoma early.
At Dr. Eric Shnayder’s practice, we focus on early diagnosis, advanced testing, and customized treatment plans to help preserve your vision for the long term.
If you are over 40, have a family history of glaucoma, diabetes, or elevated eye pressure, a comprehensive eye exam is especially important.
Protect your sight — early detection makes all the difference.

👁️ Eat Your Way to Better Vision! 🥕🥬🐟

What you put on your plate can directly impact your eye health. Dr. Eric Shnayder recommends incorporating these vision-boosting foods into your daily diet:
✅ Leafy Greens (spinach, kale) – Rich in lutein and zeaxanthin to protect against macular degeneration
✅ Fatty Fish (salmon, tuna) – High in omega-3s that support tear production and retinal health
✅ Carrots & Sweet Potatoes – Packed with vitamin A to support night vision
✅ Citrus Fruits (oranges, grapefruit) – Loaded with vitamin C to help reduce eye aging
✅ Nuts & Seeds (almonds, sunflower seeds) – Provide vitamin E to protect eye cells

Healthy vision starts with healthy choices. Pair smart nutrition with regular eye exams for the best results.

Screenings that only measure eye pressure can miss glaucoma entirely. A full evaluation is essential for early detection and protection of your vision.
During a comprehensive glaucoma exam, Dr. Eric Shnayder will:
• Measure your eye pressure
• Evaluate your eye’s drainage angle
• Examine your optic nerve for early signs of damage
• Test your peripheral (side) vision
• Capture detailed images or computer scans of the optic nerve
• Measure your corneal thickness
👁️ Early detection is critical — schedule your exam today.
