#HappyPatients

Keratoconus, a major Dry Eye Stigmatizm, Pingueculas & Meibomiumitis are just a few of the serious issues I have with my eyes. Not to mention, I have early onset cataracts. I had Lasik surgery in 2000 after wearing contacts for 28 years. Of course, I was thrilled with the success! I was able to get 15 yrs. before looking into a re-do. Only to discover through specialist, Dr. Tooma that my corneas would not support a re-do. He performed the crossing linking procedure to stabilize my corneas and I have been involved with Dr. Sheri Rowen, Specialist with Dry Eye in a clinical study for “Dry Eye” syndrome in Dr. Tooma’s office. My doctors have said, even after all of this, we still need to get you in corrective lenses. Glasses are not an option for me because of the distance between my eye and the lenses in glasses. Every three months I have to tilt the glasses to magnify what I need to see. Contacts are the only option. Before finding Tabatha at Dr. Cooks office and meeting Dr. Cook for the first time. Almost three years ago at a different Optomitrist, I was fit with custom Scleral contact lenses - very expensive, which only proceeded to irritate the pingueculas. I have been without corrective lenses up until I met the team at I2iotometry! Before I found Tabatha at i2iotometry, (after spending time & money at two other offices) Tabatha educated me on the water free options of caring for Scleral lenses. I was impressed with the extent of my consultation with her. She shared things that no other Optometric ever shared with me. I then decided even after spending $500 on Scleral exams several times! I had to see if there were any other options. I booked an appointment to see Dr. Cook & Tabatha for an initial consultation. I was astonished, of what they were able to ascertain regarding the condition of my eyes! They got it! They knew the very complexity of my situation! After trying on several types of Scleral lenses, of which never happen in the other two Optomitrist offices’. Dr. Cook wasn’t happy if it wasn’t the perfect fit - all of which are due to all the issues I stated earlier. He mentioned, there is another to try and fit you with but the trial lense is on order. Dr. Cook said, let’s try the KISS method, you know... “keep it simple...”. After a few eye measurements and eye testing, Dr. Cook & Tabatha fit me into a soft inexpensive monthly wear! My first words were: I CAN SEE AGAIN😃!!!! I am so impressed with the experience & the Pro’s in this office!!!! My situation is definitely not an easy one & sometimes you just have to keep it simple!! Thank you so much, Tabatha & Dr. Cook!!! You’re awesome “sight savers”!

Ask Our Eye Doctors a Question...

What is the examination like to determine if someone has dry eyes?

A large part of the examination is finding out what the patient is experiencing and determining the type of dry eye causing the symptoms. We examine the surface of the eye under a microscope to look at the quantity and the quality of the tear film. Additionally, we examine the eyelids and the glands inside the eyelids to insure they are healthy.

What are the typical treatments for dry eyes?

There are a wide range of treatments ranging from over the counter products to specialty laser procedures. Many times using artificial tears and vitamin supplements can help boost the tear film. There are prescription eye drops that can aid in tear production as well as laser procedures for patients with more advanced dry eye.

Are there any recommendations to help people avoid dry eye?

Of course – stay hydrated and making sure you consume enough water each day. Additionally, take breaks from your computer and smart phone. I recommend the 20/20/20 Rule – take a 20 second break every 20 minutes and look 20 feet away and blink your eyes. Finally, wearing sunglasses is critical to protecting the surface of the eye and the eyelids from UV exposure.
