Dry Eye Treatment

What is it?

Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly to keep the surface of the eye properly lubricated. Symptoms may include burning, grittiness, redness, watering, blurred vision, tired eyes or the feeling that something is caught in your eye. Dry eye can be influenced by screen use, contact lenses, medications, age, allergies, eyelid conditions and exposure to wind, heating or air-conditioning. Although it may sound like a minor annoyance, ongoing dry eye can affect reading, driving, computer work and everyday comfort. The good news is that dry eye can often be managed more effectively once we understand what is causing it.

How we can help

Our team can assess your tear film, eyelids, eye surface and symptoms to help identify the type and likely causes of your dry eye.

Rather than simply reaching for another random bottle of drops, we can recommend a treatment plan suited to your eyes. Depending on the findings, this may include suitable lubricating drops or gels, eyelid care, warm compresses, changes to contact lens wear or practical adjustments to your daily environment and screen habits.

Dry eye is often an ongoing condition, so follow-up care may be recommended to monitor progress and refine your treatment.

Our goal is to help your eyes feel calmer and more comfortable, while giving you a manageable routine that fits into real life.

Tips for your visit

Bring any eye drops, contact lenses, lens solutions and medications you currently use. This helps us see what you have already tried and whether those products are suitable for your symptoms.

Make a note of when your eyes feel worst. Symptoms may change during screen use, driving, contact lens wear, windy weather or time spent in air-conditioned rooms.

Seek prompt professional advice if you develop significant eye pain, strong light sensitivity, sudden changes in vision or severe redness, as these symptoms may indicate something more urgent than ordinary dry eye.
