What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes either don’t produce enough tears or the tears lack the proper quality to keep your eyes moisturized. Common symptoms include:

  • Redness
  • Itching
  • Stinging
  • Watery eyes – as a reflex to dryness
  • Low tear production
  • Feeling like there’s something in the eye
  • Blurry vision
  • Eye fatigue
  • Trouble seeing at night

How We Can Help

If you’re struggling with persistent dry eye symptoms, our eye doctors are here to help. We perform thorough assessments to determine the cause and offer various treatments, including:

  • Lubricating Eye Drops
  • Medications to boost tear production
  • Eye inserts or surgical options to close tear ducts

Corneal Conditions Treated in Leesburg, Eustis, & Clermont, FL

The cornea plays a crucial role in clear vision, but several conditions can affect it. At Fishman & Sheridan Eyecare Specialists, we offer expert care for various corneal issues. Our comprehensive approach ensures you receive effective management, and if needed, we can refer you to a cornea specialist.

Types of Conditions We Treat

  • Fuch’s Dystrophy: This genetic condition affects the inner layer of the cornea, leading to vision problems such as blurriness, halos around lights, and eye blisters. Treatment options include specialized eye drops, soft contact lenses, or a corneal transplant for severe cases (in which case, we would refer you to a cornea specialist).
  • Corneal Abrasion: This occurs when the cornea gets scratched or scraped, often by a foreign object or contact lens. It can cause pain, redness, tearing, and sensitivity to light. We typically treat this with antibiotic eye drops and, if needed, a protective contact lens to help it heal.
  • Keratoconus: In this progressive condition, the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, resulting in distorted vision. Treatment options include custom contact lenses, corneal cross-linking to strengthen the cornea, or a corneal transplant for more advanced cases (for which we would refer you to a cornea specialist).
  • Corneal Ulcers: These are open sores on the cornea, often caused by infection or injury. Treatment involves antibiotic or antiviral medications, and in severe cases, a corneal transplant may be required (for which we would refer you to a cornea specialist if needed).
