Comprehensive Dry Eye Clinic for Lasting Relief

We are dedicated to providing clinical excellence and the highest quality eyecare. Our specialised Dry Eye Clinic offers comprehensive assessment and treatment for those suffering from dry eye syndrome, ensuring lasting relief and improved eye comfort.

Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly. This condition can cause discomfort, visual disturbances, and, if left untreated, can lead to damage to the eye’s surface. Common symptoms include:

• Persistent dryness
• Redness and irritation
• Burning or stinging sensation
• Sensitivity to light
• Blurred vision
• Feeling of a foreign object in the eye

Comprehensive Dry Eye Assessment

Our Dry Eye Clinic provides a thorough assessment to determine the underlying cause of your dry eye symptoms. During your visit, our optometrists will:

1. Conduct a Detailed Patient History: Understanding your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history helps us tailor the best treatment plan.
2. Evaluate Tear Production and Quality: We use various tests to measure the quantity and quality of your tears, including tear break-up time and Schirmer’s test.
3. Examine the Eye Surface: Using advanced imaging techniques, we assess the health of the eye’s surface and the meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer of your tears.

Personalised Dry Eye Treatment Plans

Based on the findings from your assessment, we develop a personalised treatment plan to address your specific needs. Treatment options may include:

• Artificial Tears and Lubricating Eye Drops: To supplement natural tear production and provide immediate relief.
• Prescription Medications: To reduce inflammation and increase tear production.
• Punctal Plugs: Small inserts placed in the tear ducts to retain natural tears on the eye surface longer.
• Lid Hygiene and Warm Compresses: To improve the function of the meibomian glands.
• Nutritional Supplements: Omega-3 fatty acids can help improve tear quality.

Ongoing Care and Support

Managing dry eye syndrome often requires ongoing care. We provide continuous support and follow-up appointments to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Our goal is to help you achieve long-term relief and maintain healthy, comfortable eyes.
