@dr.ilancohen: You were told it’s “just dry eye.” So why are you still blurry months later? 👁️ You used the drops. You waited. You did what you were told. But your vision still isn’t clear. That’s when you need to ask: Is it really dry eye… or is something being missed? Dry eye is real. But when blurry vision does not improve with treatment, it may be a sign of something else. Here are 4 conditions that often get mistaken for dry eye: • Anterior Basement Membrane Dystrophy A rough corneal surface that scatters light and causes blur. • Early Keratoconus A subtle change in the shape of the cornea that drops will not fix. • Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Not a tear amount problem — a tear quality problem. • Early Cataract A cloudy lens can blur vision in a way that feels exactly like dry eye. I’ve seen patients go through bottle after bottle of drops… when the real answer could have been found in a 15-minute diagnostic workup. If drops are not helping after a few weeks, do not just keep guessing. Get a proper eye exam. Who do you know that’s still being told it’s “just dry eye”?
