Dry Eye Services
Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or the quality of your tears is insufficient to keep your eyes properly lubricated. This can lead to discomfort, irritation, and even blurred vision, especially at the end of the day or after prolonged focus. Symptoms range from stinging and burning sensations to sensitivity to light, excessive tearing, and difficulty wearing contact lenses.
At Eyes @ Optometry, we offer specialised dry eye consultations to diagnose and manage this condition effectively. Using advanced techniques such as slit lamp evaluations, tear film assessments, and Schirmer tests, our experienced optometrists can determine the severity of your dry eye and develop a tailored treatment plan. You’ll also complete a questionnaire during each visit to help us track your progress and ensure your treatment is delivering the best possible results. Let us help you restore comfort and clarity to your vision..
Treatments Available In Store
Each individual is different, and your unique treatment option will be formulated and discussed with you during your consultation with our Optometrist. After your initial consultation we will have a treatment plan specifically for your dry eye condition.
We can offer you a variety of dry eye treatments in store. These include:
-
The Dry Eye Relief System is a convenient and effective at-home solution for managing and alleviating the symptoms of dry eyes. Designed by Optometrists, this four-step system includes carefully selected products that work together to address the root causes of dry eye and provide long-term relief.
What’s Included:
The system features four powerful products:
Advanced Tea Tree Foaming Cleanser: Removes bacteria and debris from the lid and lash line, reducing inflammation and hydrating the skin.
Cationorm® Dry Eye Emulsion: A preservative-free eye drop that hydrates, lubricates, and protects the eye surface, providing comfort and relief from irritation.
D.E.R.M® Heat Mask: Combines heat and moisture therapy to restore Meibomian gland function and improve tear quality.
DRYeye Forte Supplement: Contains essential fatty acids and nutrients to enhance tear film layers and reduce inflammation.
-
We provide customised over-the-counter and prescription eye drops tailored to your specific dry eye needs. These solutions are designed to relieve discomfort, improve tear quality, and restore moisture to your eyes, offering effective and lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
-
We offer tear drop supplements specifically recommended for your type of dry eye. These targeted solutions work to enhance tear production and improve eye lubrication, providing effective relief and support for your eye health.
-
Blephasteam is a safe and painless way to relieve symptoms associated with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. Blephasteam maintains the perfect therapeutic temperature and environment to melt the thickened secretions with our Meibomian glands. The result is better production of oils required for high quality tears, and improved dry eye symptoms. Blephasteam treatments may require repeating depending on the severity of your dry eye conditions.
Meibomian Oil Gland Expression is a simple therapy to open the glands in your lower eyelid if they have become blocked. An expression is preformed after the Blephasteam moisture heat therapy with a special instrument used by the optometrist to clear the glands of the blocked oils.
-
IRPL provides a long lasting solution to improve comfort by restoring the function of meibomian glands, stabilising the lipid layer of the tear film. This is a state of the art treatment with time efficiency and a clinically proven way to manage dry eye. IRPL is considered the BEST option to treat dry eye as it targets a number of different areas:
Warms and liquifies before gland expression
Stimulates meibomian glands, enhancing collagen synthesis
Decreases inflammation (allows glands to heal)
Antibacterial and antiparasitic effects (combats blepharitis)
Connective tissue rejuvenation, decreasing blocked glands
Clinical studies to prove 90% satisfaction rate after 2 treatments (4 is recommended)
-
The Blephex is an instrument that directly helps treat Anterior Blepharitis, where crusty material gathers along the eyelids and eyelashes. It is similar to an electric toothbrush. A gentle rotating sponge soaked in cleanser is applied across the top and bottom lid margins to remove the crusty particles. This can tickle but does not hurt.
