Dry Eye Clinic

In the bustling of day-to-day life, your eyes are your windows to the world. However, when these windows fog up with the discomfort of dry eyes, your view can become clouded, both literally and metaphorically.

Our Dry Eye Clinic provides a space of relief where we actively treat and monitor dry eye syndrome.

What is dry eye syndrome?

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition affecting both adults and children. It occurs when your eyes either do not produce enough tears or when the quality of tears is poor, leading to inadequate lubrication.

This can cause a range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to severe irritation, and can significantly impact your daily life and vision quality.

Recognising the symptoms

Dry eye syndrome can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Persistent dryness or scratchiness
  • A burning sensation or red eyes
  • Excessive tearing followed by dry periods
  • Blurred vision, especially towards the end of the day
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Difficulty wearing contact lenses

It's crucial to recognise these symptoms early, as prolonged dry eye can lead to more serious complications.

Diagnosing dry eye syndrome

At Adrian Yssel Optometrists, we use a range of diagnostic tools to determine the cause and severity of your dry eye condition. Our evaluation process includes:

  • Understanding your symptoms, lifestyle, and any contributing factors
  • Measuring the quantity and quality of your tears
  • Assessing the health of your cornea and conjunctiva
  • Checking for gland dysfunction, a common cause of dry eyes

This comprehensive approach ensures an accurate diagnosis, paving the way for effective treatment.

Personalised treatment plans

Our treatment strategies are as unique as your eyes. Depending on your specific condition, we may recommend a combination of:

  • Artificial tears: Over-the-counter or prescription drops to supplement natural tear production.
  • Eyelid hygiene regimens: Especially if your dry eye is linked to eyelid inflammation or Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
  • Lifestyle adjustments: Recommendations on environmental changes and eye care habits to alleviate symptoms.

Don't let dry eyes cloud your vision and diminish your quality of life. Contact Adrian Yssel Optometrists today to schedule your appointment at our Dry Eye Clinic.
