Two months ago, my 93-year-old father's eyes had a significant amount of mucus and were extremely itchy. He constantly rubbed his eyes to the point where they were nearly swollen shut. My mother took him to see an ophthalmologist, who diagnosed my father with elevated eye pressure and allergies and recommended eye drops to alleviate the itchiness. However, even after a month of using the eye drops, his condition did not improve. Concerned, I decided to seek another medical opinion.
Upon researching various options, I came across the outstanding reviews for Focus Eye Center. Impressed by the positive feedback, I promptly scheduled an appointment and accompanied my dad to see Dr. Bryan Jones.
Dr. Jones exhibited remarkable patience throughout the appointment, devoting more than an hour to thoroughly examining my father's eyes. Much of this time was spent striving to obtain an accurate measurement of his eye pressure, which can be distorted when forcefully opening a patient's eyes. Given the pronounced swelling of my father's eyes, Dr. Jones had to conduct multiple tests. Surprisingly, the results indicated that my dad's eye pressure was within the normal range. The swelling and excess mucus were attributed to facial oils and debris from my father using only water to wash his face. Astonishingly, he didn't actually have any allergies. Dr. Jones recommended using Johnson's No Tears Baby Soap followed by eye lubricant to gently cleanse his eyes.
As of today, my father's eyes are completely free from swelling, itchiness, and mucus. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Jones for dedicating the time and effort to effectively treat my father's condition.
