Demonstrating how to use a high powered hand magnifier

Bringing the magnifier close to the best vision eye is the equivalent of looking through a key hole… You would want to get close to the keyhole to see more of what is behind the door.

I’m told I have dry eyes but they water a lot!

When your eyecare practitioner talks about dry eyes they are talking about the surface of your eye drying out and when this happens then the lids rub against the conjunctiva and white of you eye and it is irritating. The eye then reacts by making more tears to wash out what it thinks is causing the irritation. These tears lack oils which would help to lubricate the eye… the tears evaporate and make the surface dry out even more.

My Optician told me I have dry eyes but they water all the time Why is this?

Categories: Dry Eyes – Watery Eyes, Eye Conditions

When your eyecare professional says you have dry eyes they are talking the surface of your eyes has dry spots on it. When you then blink the lid will drag across your eye  – this leads to the eye becoming irritated and it’s reaction is to tear up more….. The downside of this type of tear is that it has a lot less oil in it and therefore doesn’t lubricate. The artificial tears have the perfect combination of oils / lubricants and surface conditioners to help rehydrate those patches and leads to less watering.
