Dry Eye Syndrome - Eye Image

Dry eye syndrome is a combination of signs and symptoms that lead to mild, moderate, or severe ocular discomfort and pain. Patients commonly feel an irritation in their eyes as if a foreign body was present. The condition can be caused by a large variety of factors, including pollution, pollen, wind, ultraviolet light and smoke. Systemic health factor can contribute as well.

Dr. Sheila Shifrin will design a tailored approach to each patient's cause of dry eye syndrome.

Tearing of the Eye Treatments

Dr. Sheila Shifrin performs placement of punctal plugs in the office for dry eye syndrome. Treatment of tearing involves correction of the underlying cause.

Dr. Sheila Shifrin will check your lacrimal duct system (tear drainage system) and the integrity of your lower eyelid. For those with tear duct system issues, she devise a plan of care aimed at correcting the obstruction. In the case of lower eyelid laxity leading to tear spillage, she will discuss an alternative plan of care, commonly a lid tightening procedure.

BOTOX® Cosmetic is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines between the eyebrows in adults.
Talk to your doctor about BOTOX® Cosmetic and whether it’s right for you.
There are risks with this product; the effects of BOTOX® Cosmetic may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms if not done by a professional. Alert your doctor right away, as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems, or muscle weakness can be signs of a life-threatening condition. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities. Patients with these conditions before injection are at the highest risk. Swallowing problems may last for several months. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection-site pain, fatigue, and headaches. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms, and dizziness. Don’t receive BOTOX® Cosmetic if there’s a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions (including ALS/Lou Gehrig’s disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome), and medications including botulinum toxins, as these may increase the risk of serious side effects.
