What Are Common Eye Infections?
Eye infections can cause a range of disruptive symptoms, including irritation, redness, blurry vision, and discharge, making it difficult to go about your daily routine. These infections are typically caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergens that affect the surface of the eye. Factors like poor hygiene, contact lens use, or environmental irritants can contribute to conjunctivitis (pink eye), styes, and keratitis. At Jackson Medical Associates, we diagnose and treat common eye infections to help relieve your symptoms and safeguard your eye health. If you're experiencing discomfort, vision problems, or other signs of an eye infection, contact our practice in Sylva, NC for care.
How Do You Treat Common Eye Infections?
Treatment for common eye infections depends on the cause and severity of the infection. Bacterial infections, like conjunctivitis, are often treated with antibiotic eye drops or ointments while viral infections typically require supportive care, such as warm compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers, as they resolve on their own. For conditions like styes, a combination of warm compresses and medication may be recommended. Your provider at Jackson Medical Associates will offer the appropriate care based on your specific condition, ensuring your symptoms are managed effectively and your recovery is smooth.
What Are the Benefits of Treating Eye Infections?
Addressing an eye infection promptly helps prevent worsening symptoms and protects your overall eye health. At Jackson Medical Associates, we offer treatment options that provide several important benefits, such as:
- Relieving redness, irritation, and discomfort
- Stopping the spread of the infection and reducing complications
- Protecting your vision and preventing long-term damage
- Helping you recover quickly and return to your normal routine
Jackson Medical Associates Reviews
This was my first visit since moving to NC and noticed their parking lot can get full quickly esp since they share parking lot with the facility across from them but nevertheless the building once you walk in is absolutely gorgeous and the exam rooms compliment the entire style and is very cohesive. My provider, Lydia Teague, is absolutely amazing, funny and thorough and explained all the services they offer in house such as blood work which is crucial because it saves you an extra step from going to a different facility in order to get the results needed. They utilize a portal that provides a lot of features such as blood work results and notes from the visit. I schedule a follow up for next year and look forward to utilizing their services.
I moved from western NC 3 years ago and I still say this is the best provider office I’ve ever had. Great people and great service.
Fantastic service and willing to listen. We are from out of town and were surprised with awesome care. Emily was the best.
The staff is great
Dr Wolf has been my family doctor for almost 15 years. He was my mom’s doctor until she had to go to a nursing home. He is also my husband’s, and both adult children’s. He is caring and knowledgeable.
