Dry Eye Clinic
Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly.
This can lead to symptoms such as irritation, redness, a gritty sensation, blurred vision, and excessive tearing. Persistent dry eyes can affect your quality of life and may lead to more serious eye health issues if left untreated.
Our Dry Eye Services
Our optometrists perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose the cause and severity of your dry eyes.
This includes assessing tear production, tear film stability, and the health of your eyelids and cornea.Based on your assessment, we create a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to provide effective relief and long-term management of your dry eye symptoms.
We offer a range of advanced treatments to address dry eye syndrome, including:
-
Artificial Tears and Lubricating Eye Drops: These help to supplement your natural tears and provide immediate relief from dryness and irritation.
-
Prescription Medications: For more severe cases, we may prescribe medications to reduce inflammation and increase tear production.
-
Punctal Plugs: Tiny devices inserted into the tear ducts to help retain moisture on the eye's surface.
-
Lid Hygiene and Warm Compresses: Techniques to maintain eyelid health and improve tear film quality.
-
Specialised Contact Lenses: Scleral lenses or other types designed to keep the eye moist and protect the cornea.
-
Our optometrists provide guidance on lifestyle changes and environmental adjustments that can help manage dry eye symptoms. This includes advice on screen time management, humidifier use, and dietary recommendations to support eye health.
Managing dry eyes is an ongoing process. We offer regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, adjust treatments as needed, and ensure that you continue to experience relief from your symptoms.
What our patients say
"I would thoroughly recommend Angus Optix.
Nicola was very professional, didn't rush me, was clear in her explanations. I will be going back again."
What our patients say
"My wife has been struggling with her vision for two years. She has been provided with glasses by a well known chain of commercial opticians who have tried to improve her sight. She has been assessed by NHS specialists in Tayside who have told her that they can do nothing to remedy the situation.
Two weeks after visiting Angus Optix she has a prism on her glasses that has made a great improvement. Angus Optix has up-to-date knowledge of advances in opthalmic science and the ability to apply them for the benefit of its customers. Need I say more?"
What our patients say
