Long-Term Management

Understanding Dry Eye

Understanding Dry Eye

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly. It's often caused by meibomian gland dysfunction, environmental factors, or prolonged screen use.

Our diagnostic technology identifies the root cause — whether it's tear deficiency, oil gland blockage, or inflammation — so we can treat the problem, not just the symptoms.

Am I Suitable?

Dry eye treatment can help a wide range of patients. You may benefit from specialist care if:

Persistent burning, stinging, or gritty sensation in your eyes
Over-reliance on artificial tears that only provide temporary relief
Screen-related dryness from prolonged computer or device use
Post-surgical dryness following laser or lens procedures

Your consultant will confirm your suitability at your free consultation based on a thorough assessment of your eyes.

What to Expect

Dry eye treatments are non-invasive and well-tolerated. Your specialist will tailor your treatment to the specific cause of your symptoms. Important considerations:

  • Some treatments require multiple sessions for optimal results — your specialist will set realistic expectations
  • Underlying causes (medication, environment, autoimmune conditions) may need to be addressed alongside treatment
  • Prescription eye drops may cause mild stinging initially — this typically resolves within days
  • We monitor your progress closely and adjust your treatment plan based on how your eyes respond

Common Questions About Dry Eye Treatment

Is dry eye a serious condition?

While not sight-threatening, chronic dry eye can significantly impact quality of life and may worsen without treatment. Early intervention leads to better long-term management.

What treatments are available?

We offer a range of specialist treatments including medicated eye drops, warm compress therapy, meibomian gland expression, and punctal plugs. Your consultant will recommend the most effective approach for your specific type of dry eye.

How long before I notice improvement?

Many patients notice relief within the first few sessions. Full improvement typically develops over 4-8 weeks as the tear film stabilises.

Can dry eye be cured permanently?

While some causes of dry eye can be resolved, many patients benefit from ongoing management. Our goal is to find a treatment plan that keeps your symptoms under control long-term.

Is it covered by insurance?

Many insurance providers cover dry eye consultations and treatments. Contact us with your policy details and we'll confirm your coverage.
