5 Signs Your Eyes May Be Dry 👀

Dry eye disease isn’t just about “dryness.” Many patients are surprised by how it actually shows up day to day.

You might be dealing with dry eye if:

• Your eyes feel itchy or irritated
• Your vision fluctuates or blurs throughout the day
• You’re sensitive to light
• Your eyes look red or inflamed
• Your eyes sting, burn, or feel gritty

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to just live with it.

At Northgate Vision & Dry Eye Clinic, we focus on identifying the root cause of dry eye and creating personalized treatment plans that go beyond artificial tears.

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD) Awareness Month 👁️

ARMD affects the macula—the part of the retina responsible for clear, central vision.
In its early stages, it often has no noticeable symptoms, which is why routine eye exams matter.

Early detection allows us to:
• Monitor subtle retinal changes
• Guide nutrition and lifestyle choices
• Protect vision long-term

Your eyes don’t always tell you when something is changing—but we can see it.

📅 February is the perfect reminder to prioritize retinal health.

⚡ Flashing lights. Zig-zag lines. Blind spots?

You may be experiencing an ocular migraine.

These visual disturbances can come on suddenly, last 15–30 minutes, and may or may not include a headache. Triggers often include stress, hormonal changes, lack of sleep, or bright screens.

👁️ New or recurring visual changes should always be checked.

📅 Schedule an eye exam to make sure your eyes — and your vision — are healthy.

Bloodshot or red eyes are often painless, but they can signal an underlying eye or health condition.
Common causes include
dry eye disease, frequent use of redness-relief drops, allergies, infections, glaucoma, and corneal irritation.
Systemic conditions like ocular rosacea and sleep apnea can also contribute to chronic redness and inflammation of the eyes.
Because red eyes can have many different causes, a proper eye exam is essential to determine the right treatment and protect long-term eye health.

Cataracts cause the natural lens of the eye to become cloudy, leading to blurry, hazy, or dim vision over time. Many people notice increased glare, difficulty driving at night, and colors appearing faded or yellowed. Cataracts develop gradually and often go unnoticed until vision starts interfering with daily activities. If your vision isn’t as clear as it used to be, a comprehensive eye exam can determine whether cataracts may be the cause.

Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that damages the optic nerve and can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. While many people associate glaucoma with high eye pressure, normal-tension glaucoma can occur even when eye pressure falls within a normal range. Because vision loss often begins in the peripheral field, many patients don’t notice symptoms until significant damage has already occurred. Early detection through routine eye exams is critical, as glaucoma-related vision loss cannot be reversed. Ongoing monitoring and treatment can help preserve vision and protect long-term eye health.

Not all contact lenses are created equal 👀

For many patients—especially those with dry eyes or sensitive eyes—daily disposable contact lenses are our go-to recommendation.

Here’s why:

✔️ You start with a brand-new, clean lens every single day
✔️ No protein, oil, or makeup buildup
✔️ Less irritation and inflammation
✔️ No cleaning solutions or cases
✔️ Better comfort, especially at the end of the day

Daily contacts aren’t for everyone—but when they’re a good fit, they’re often healthier, more comfortable, and simpler than monthly lenses.

Curious if daily contacts are right for your eyes?
Let’s talk at your next visit 🤍
