While I was looking for the information, I saw a list of other publications for the profession of ophthalmology. I did not read those articles -- just the titles. But I did notice that the author of one of those publications is a corneal specialist who practices in my home city. Although I realize that does not help you to find a doc in TV, the reason I am even mentioning this part is that you might need to find the corneal specialty within the field of ophthalmologists.
If there is not a corneal specialist in TV, a general ophthalmologist might be able to refer you. If you have no luck, you might want to check with Shands or some other place where there is wider access to specialties.
From my short read this morning, it looks like there is lots of hope for successful treatment. I wish you well.
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD): The cause of your dry eyes? |
This just emphasizes my long standing warning about trying to glean medical information from the internet. Someone read about Meibomian Gland Dysfunction/Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca and came away with the need to see a CORNEAL specialist????!!!!.. Consider using artificial tears until you get an appointment with a general ophthalmologist, and skip Web MD.
