dry eye consultations

Dry eye is the most common visual problem people complain about. A common symptom of dry eye is usually a watery eye. This is the paradox of the dry eye because the tears evaporate quickly because they are thin and are missing vital tear chemistry to keep the tear film stable. The body replaces the tear film with more thin tears to keep the ocular surface covered. It is the air that gets to the exposed cornea from increasing mobile, tablet and computer use that makes the eyes feel sore, itchy, red, puffy, dry eyes or have dry eyelids. We specialise in dry eye assessment and can provide various eye care treatments for this problem.
