DRY EYE

Dry eye disease can be caused by many things, such as hormone changes, swollen and sore eyelids, excessive display screen use, medications, underlaying health conditions, the way you blink and much more (often in combination)! Our clinic offers thorough evaluations to identify the root cause of your dry eye. First, we analyse the health of your eyelids, eyes and the composition of your tears, ensuring a precise understanding of your unique condition. Next, we craft an individual treatment plan designed to treat and improve the specific eye health problems causing your dry eye disease. We then monitor you, to make sure your eyes remain happy, healthy and comfortable.

We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of treatments to restore balance and comfort to your eyes. Our treatments include:

​

• Replacement of Tear Layers (specialised drops and ointments): NOT ALL EYE DROPS ARE CREATED EQUAL!! They supplement different parts of the tears, unfortunately many of the common drops on the market, do very little! We specifically address inflammation and deficiencies in the mucin, aqueous, and lipid layers of your tears to ensure optimal hydration and protection. 

​

• Punctal Plugs: These tiny devices help retain moisture by blocking tear drainage, providing relief for those with severe dry eye.

​

• Medication-Based Solutions: Steroid, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory treatments are used to manage inflammation and treat underlying infections.

​

• Exfoliating Treatments: Our specialised BlephEx treatments gently exfoliate the eyelids, removing debris and bacterial biofilms that can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
