Do you recognise these symptoms?
- Gritty, sandy or burning eyes
- Eyes that feel tired, especially after screen use or reading
- Watery eyes — often a sign of dryness
- Redness or irritation, or crusty eyelids
- Vision that blurs, then clears when you blink
- Discomfort with contact lenses
Dry eye can be caused by many things — screen use, central heating, ageing, hormonal changes, some medications and eyelid conditions such as blepharitis.
Assessed properly, treated personally.
Your optometrist will examine the front of your eyes and your eyelids to understand what's causing your symptoms, then recommend a plan tailored to you.
- i.
Eyelid hygiene
Daily cleansing wipes and foams to calm the lids and keep the oil glands healthy.
- ii.
Warm compress therapy
A heated eye mask to soften blocked oil glands and restore a healthy tear film.
- iii.
Lubricating drops & gels
Preservative-free drops and gels, chosen to suit the type of dry eye you have.
- iv.
Prescription treatment
Our optometrists are all Independent Prescribers, so they can prescribe medication where it's needed.
