How often should I have an eye exam?

Most adults benefit from an eye exam every one to two years. People with risk factors like diabetes, a family history of eye disease, or contact lens use may need more frequent checkups, and children or seniors may follow different schedules based on their needs.

What should I bring to my eye appointment?

Bring your current glasses or contact lenses, a list of your medications, your insurance card, and any notes about vision changes or symptoms.

Will my eye exam hurt?

A standard eye exam is usually painless. Some tests use bright lights or a short puff of air, which can feel unusual but should not be painful.

Why is my vision blurry?

Blurry vision can result from refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, but may also be due to dry eyes, cataracts, or other eye conditions. A comprehensive eye exam will help identify the cause.

Can I wear contact lenses?

Many people can safely wear contact lenses, but certain eye shapes or eye health concerns may affect suitability. During your visit the doctor will recommend the best option.

How can I reduce eye strain from screens?

Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Adjust screen brightness, maintain comfortable viewing distance, and ensure good lighting.

Find Lasting Relief for Dry, Itchy, and Irritated Eyes

Millions of people in the U.S., especially those over 50, suffer from chronic dry eye
symptoms that impact daily comfort and vision health. At Real Vision Center in
Pembroke Pines, we specialize in diagnosing and treating dry eye syndrome to help you
find relief and improve your eye comfort.

Common Symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye symptoms vary but often include:
● Red, bloodshot, or irritated eyes
● Persistent burning, itching, or gritty sensation
● Sensitivity to light (photophobia)
● Excessive tearing or watery eyes
If these symptoms affect your daily life, it may be time for a professional dry eye
evaluation.

Causes of Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye syndrome can arise from multiple causes including:
● Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) affecting oil gland secretion
● Blepharitis (eyelid inflammation)
● Allergies or environmental irritants
● Eyelid or ocular surface abnormalities
● Side effects from certain medications
● Aqueous tear deficiency or abnormal tear film osmolarity
● Elevated or abnormal eye pressure
Because dry eye often has more than one cause, thorough diagnostic testing is
essential to tailor an effective treatment plan.

Comprehensive Dry Eye Diagnosis and Personalized Treatments

Using advanced diagnostic techniques like meibomian gland imaging and tear film
osmolarity testing, we accurately identify the root of your dry eye condition. Based on
your diagnosis, treatment may include:
● Prescription anti-inflammatory eye drops to reduce ocular surface inflammation
● Targeted therapies to restore gland function and improve oil layer quality
● Eyelid hygiene routines, including blinking exercises and warm compresses
● Antibiotics for underlying infections causing eyelid inflammation
Early and effective treatment of dry eye not only improves comfort but also protects
your long-term eye health.
