DRY EYE CLINIC - FAQ'S
What is Dry Eye?
With every blink, our eyes release a sophisticated layer of tears that keeps the eye moist, ensures clear vision, and provides protection. Dry eye is a multifaceted condition where this tear layer fails to adequately maintain moisture. This can result from decreased tear production or increased evaporation of the tears.
The Causes
- Age
- Medications
- Medical conditions
- Laser surgery
- Windy, smoky or dry environments
- Prolonged use of digital devices
- Eyelid disease
The Symptoms
The most common symptoms our patients suffer with are:
- Stinging or burning feeling
- Sandy or gritty feeling
- Watery eyes
- Red eyes
- Intermittent blurry vision
The Treatments
Treatment for Dry Eye starts with a comprehensive assessment by one of our skilled optometrists. They will identify the specific causes of your Dry Eye and develop a personalised management plan. This plan often includes a combination of in-office treatments and at-home routines designed to control your symptoms. Typically, these approaches are trialled for a short period before you return for a follow-up visit to evaluate their effectiveness.
