NOH EYES DRY EYE CARE OF McKINNEY, TEXAS

Dr. NohI'm Dr. Ada Noh and I specialize in the treatment of dry eye disease. I think that a lot of dry eye patients either don't know that they have dry eye disease if it's in a mild stage or have been swept under the rug and not listened to by their eye care provider. My clinic focuses strictly on the diagnosis and the treatment of dry eye disease. So the first consultation, we come in and figure out what is causing your dry eye. All the patients that I see here, I am working on their dry eye process so they still stay with their regular optometrist or ophthalmologist for their ongoing routine care.

KristenSo I've been to a couple doctors here and I typically go in just for my annual eye exam. I remember going several years ago right after I had my first child and him just kind of saying it's probably just due to age and I was in my early 30s at the time so I was like man, you know, I've got a long way to go of being uncomfortable. So the solution from him and honestly from the other doctors that I've seen has just been a higher end contact but at the end of the day I just realized that it doesn't matter if I get the more expensive contact or more eye drops over the counter or that sort of thing, it's not actually going to treat the issue which is dry eye.

MarieI was constantly having aching eyes and just hurting and everything. This went on for years and the medication they gave me helped somewhat but it was more of a soothing medication rather than actually taking care of the issue. At that point in time no one had ever explained to me that dry eyes is actually a disease. After her procedures it has made a remarkable difference. I felt like I was a valued patient and I'm not sure I have had that and I've been very fortunate to have great physicians but with her you form a relationship and she wants the very best end result.

KristenShe listens to what your issues are, she talks you through what she's going to do and good solutions to those and how that will work and why it will work and really provides a great treatment that works.

Dr. NohI think the biggest part of my job is actually educating patients about the signs, the symptoms and the actual disease process of dry eye, not it as a symptom but actually as a disease process. I'm really happy because now I jump out of bed in the morning and I can come and do things that I actually like to do. I also feel very lucky and grateful for my patients because I have a personal relationship with them. I know every single person that comes in, I know what they've been up to. I feel like a lot of my patients are also my friends.
