For any medical device there will always be a fine balancing act that has to be achieved, and this will involve a careful weighing up of the lesser of the two evils. If the benefits of the medical device (whatever it maybe) happens to outweigh the risks (both actual and potential) then the device will (usually) be used. Sometimes however the risks and or side effects are inevitable and must therefore be duly prepared for in order to minimise their actual severity.
Why do you need an ophthalmologist as opposed to an optometrist to diagnose your symptoms?
Ophthalmologists are different from optometrists in their training and in what they can diagnose and treat.
An Ophthalmologist is a medical doctor, and licensed to practice medicine and surgery, and treats all eye diseases, performs eye surgery and prescribes and fits eyeglasses and contact lenses.
Ophthalmologists are required to complete:
- Four years of college and four years of medical school
- One year of internship
- At least three years of residency (hospital-based training) in the diagnosis and
- Medical and surgical treatment of eye disorders
An optometrist is licensed to practice optometry and determine the need for eyeglasses and contact lenses, prescribe optical correction and screen for abnormalities of the eye. In some states they can prescribe a limited number of drugs to help diagnose and treat certain eye conditions, but they do not generally perform surgery.
Optometrists attend two to four years of college and four years of optometric college.
Ocular Rosacea eye problems
Red, dry, itching, or burning eyes
Sensitivity to light
The feeling of grittiness in the eyes
Blurred vision or other vision problems
Eyelids that become inflamed and swollen
Some people with ocular rosacea have reported that certain triggers can cause their condition to be worse. The triggers include:
- Heat (including hot baths)
- Heavy exercise
- Sunlight
- Wind exposure
- Very cold temperatures
- Hot or spicy foods and drinks
- Drinking alcohol
- Menopause
- Emotional stress
- Humidity
Treatment
Ocular rosacea symptoms are usually treated with oral antibiotics, such as tetracycline or doxycycline. Your doctor may also prescribe eye drops to increase tear production. They may also recommend that you use a humidifier or prescribe silicone plugs to close the tear drainage ducts - especially if you live in a dry climate.
Although there is no cure for ocular rosacea, the good news is that it can be treated in order to alleviate and lessen the symptoms.
