Some woman forty years or older may notice certain changes in their eyes such as increasing discomfort with contact lenses, the inability to tolerate make-up, burning, redness and foreign body sensation. These can all be signs of dry eye disease, a pervasive disease among adults, particularly women 40+ years of age due to various systemic diseases and normal, gender-related hormonal changes. Consequences of dry eyes range from subtle, but constant eye irritation to significant inflammation, and even scarring of the front surface of the eye. Early treatment of this disease ensures better response.

SNEAD EYE GROUP has an ever expanding array of treatment options to help customize care and provide the best outcome for dry eye patients. If you are experiencing scratchiness or burning in your eyes, it may not be seasonal allergies. An evaluation by a SNEAD EYE GROUP professional can help detect and treat dry eyes for optimal results and increased personal comfort.

SNEAD EYE GROUP will be opening a new location at 15215 Collier Boulevard in Naples in the near future! We’re excited to bring additional staff and physician on board to better serve our expanding client base in Collier County!

Ultraviolet (UV) light is an invisible, electromagnetic radiation. Your exposure to UV rays comes primarily from the sun, even on a cloudy day. The sun emits UV rays, and unprotected, prolonged exposure can cause serious vision problems. Many Americans do not understand the dangers of UV exposure and take needless risks with their eyesight. The Vision Council’s VisionWatch survey of more than 10,000 adults shows Americans are concerned about potential eye problems from the sun’s UV rays, yet they have a passive relationship with UV-protective sunglasses.

Caring for themselves is one of the most important – and most often forgotten – things caregivers must do for themselves.

The stress and physical demands of caregiving place older caregivers at risk for health problems of their own. Even adult children who have assumed a caregiver role for their parents while juggling work and raising children face an increased risk for depression, chronic illness and a decline in quality of life.

Research has shown that despite these risks, caregivers of any age are less likely than non-caregivers to practice preventive healthcare and will postpone or fail to make medical appointments for themselves. That’s why SNEAD EYE GROUP strongly encourages caregivers to schedule an annual eye exam. This one simple appointment can address visual loss issues which may affect the ability to care for another person, as well as detect other health concerns you yourself may not be aware of.

Remember, it is not selfish to focus on your own needs and desires when you are a caregiver-it’s an important part of the job.

If you’re a caregiver, remember to take care of yourself and call our office today to schedule your annual eye exam – or encourage a caregiver you know to do so. With two convenient locations in Naples and Fort Myers, there’s no reason to put it off any longer.
