Your eyes can become dry, red, itchy, or irritated for many reasons. Problems with the surface of the eye or eyelids can also make your eyes feel uncomfortable or affect your vision.
Dr. Van provides care for common eye surface and eyelid problems.
Common Conditions
Dry Eye
Dry eye can cause burning, itching, redness, watering, or blurry vision. It can happen when your eyes don’t make enough tears or when your tears dry too quickly.
Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis, often called pink eye, can cause redness, irritation, watering, or discharge. It can be caused by an infection, allergies, or other irritation.
Blepharitis
Blepharitis is irritation or swelling around the eyelids. You may notice red or itchy eyelids, crusting around the eyelashes, or eyes that feel irritated.
Corneal Scratches & Foreign Bodies
A scratch on the eye or something stuck in the eye can cause pain, redness, tearing, or the feeling that something is in your eye. These problems should be checked promptly.
