Dry eye disease happens when your eyes don't produce enough quality tears to stay comfortably lubricated — often due to the meibomian glands in your eyelids not working properly. It's one of the most common, and most under-treated, causes of ongoing eye discomfort.
Here's how a typical dry eye management visit unfolds, from check-in through to ongoing reviews.
Check in with our reception team and confirm your details before your consultation begins.
An OSDI symptom questionnaire and initial tear film assessment to understand how dry eye is affecting you.
Meibography, tear break-up time and meibomian gland expression to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms.
A conversation about the treatment options best suited to your case, including benefits and what to expect.
Beginning your personalised plan — whether an in-clinic treatment like IPL, or a take-home routine of drops and lid care.
Regular reviews to track your progress and fine-tune your treatment plan for lasting relief.
We offer the full range of evidence-based dry eye treatments, so your plan is built entirely around what's causing your symptoms — not what we happen to stock.
Targeted pulses of light applied around the eyes to reduce inflammation and improve meibomian gland function — one of the most effective in-clinic treatments for evaporative dry eye.
A gentle, low-level light treatment that stimulates the meibomian glands and reduces inflammation, often used alongside IPL for enhanced results.
A controlled moist heat treatment that warms and loosens thickened oils in the eyelids, making them easier to express and improving tear quality.
A gentle, organic lid scrub that removes debris, bacteria and biofilm from the eyelid margins — an effective first step in managing lid-related dry eye.
Manual or instrument-assisted expression of the meibomian glands to clear blockages and restore healthy oil flow to your tears.
Tailored lubricating drops or prescription medications to manage inflammation and support your eyes' natural tear production.
Lacritec tablets are available in-clinic to support your eyes' natural tear production from within, as part of a broader dry eye management plan.
Large-diameter lenses that vault over the cornea, providing a protective fluid reservoir — particularly effective for severe dry eye, including Sjögren's syndrome.
For patients with dry eye symptoms with daytime contact lenses, overnight OrthoK lenses may be a comfortable alternative — clear vision without the ongoing irritation of daytime lens wear.
Every assessment uses advanced diagnostic technology to objectively measure your tear film and eyelid health — not just check how your eyes feel.
Non-invasively measures your tear film stability, volume and quality, giving us an objective picture of your dry eye severity and how it's changing over time.
Maps the cornea's surface in high-precision 3D, helping us assess tear film irregularities and select the best contact or scleral lens fit for lasting comfort.
Infrared imaging of the meibomian glands within your eyelids to identify gland loss or dysfunction — a key factor in most cases of dry eye disease.
