WayfarerDry Eye Treatments
Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or the right quality of tears to stay properly lubricated.
This can lead to discomfort, redness and blurred vision, which can impact your daily life. Our friendly team is here to help with tailored dry eye management solutions for effective dry eye relief.
Dry eye syndrome explained
Dry eye, or keratoconjunctivitis sicca, is a condition resulting from inadequate tear production or poor tear film quality.
Tears are essential for maintaining clear vision, lubrication of your eyes and protecting your eye’s surface from irritation.
Dry eye can occur due to multiple factors, such as ageing, hormonal changes, environmental conditions, prolonged screen use, certain medications or underlying health conditions.
Dry eye symptoms include:
- A gritty or sandy feeling in your eyes
- Redness or irritation
- Blurred vision, especially after prolonged focus
- Sensitivity to light
- A burning or stinging sensation
- Watery eyes as a response to dryness
If you’re experiencing any of these dry eye symptoms, it’s important to have a professional assessment to confirm that it is dry eye and nothing more serious.
Our dry eye services
The first stage in diagnosing and treating dry eye is an assessment. This involves a discussion about your health, occupation and lifestyle so that we can determine if there are environmental or health factors contributing to your symptoms.
Then, we’ll use a strong microscope to check your eyelid health, inspect your tear quality and measure how quickly your tears evaporate. This will give us an idea of the level of dryness you’re experiencing and help us tailor a dry eye treatment plan for you.
While there is no cure for dry eye, there are lots of things you can do to manage it. We stock a wide range of dry eye treatments and can put together a bundle that is designed specifically to suit your needs. This may include:
- Hospital-grade artificial tear eye drops
- An eye bag that uses the temperature shown by research to be the most effective for dry eye relief
- Eyelid wipes for advanced eye hygiene and care
