Do your eyes feel itchy and gritty? Or maybe they water excessively? Are they red, sore and uncomfortable? Does staring at your computer makes your eyes feel gritty ? Do you wake up with sore eyes? You are not alone.
You may have dry eyes (yes, even if they water – this can be due to underlying dryness issues).
Here at iCare Opticians we are able to carry out specialised eye examinations investigating dry eye symptoms, and provide you with a suitable treatment plan. During a dry eye assessment we carefully discuss your concerns and carry out a detailed observation of your eyes.
Dry eyes can be caused by several different reasons including poor production of either the water or oily layer of the tears, or poor drainage of the tears away from the eyes.
Following a full dry eye assessment we will design a tailored management plan just for you to help ease your symptoms.
Dry eyes are often linked to other eyelid conditions such as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Blepharitis.
There are many treatment options to manage dry eyes, meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis and prevent future flair ups.
You do not have to live with dry eyes, if you have any of the following symptoms, dry , gritty, watery, itchy burning or light sensitivity to name a few, you may have dry eye syndrome and will benefit from booking in for a dry eye consultation with us .
