Dry Eye Clinic

In 2013 we introduced an additional private service for patients who suffer with clinical dry eye and it has proved to be a very satisfying clinic helping lots of patients, several of whom had been suffering for some years.

Symptoms of a clinically dry eye include:-

• sore eyes
• gritty eyes
• watery eyes
• red eyes

The management of this chronic condition often requires some understanding on the part of the sufferer of the reasons for dry eye; largely the route to more comfortable eyes is a tailored package of drops and eye and lid hygiene to be carried out at home. Experience has shown us that there is not enough time to address the condition as part of a normal routine eye examination.

Dry eye is an increasingly common condition and has been linked to the ever-longer screen time modern life often dictates. There is no cure but there are many things you can do to improve your comfort, and we are here to help.

We also now have a state-of-the-art MYAH device, which enables us to closely examine the eyelids and ocular surface. The analyses the MYAH can perform will give us vital information on the characteristics and dynamics of your tear film, and your meibomian gland anatomy.

If you are not sure how to treat your symptoms, please speak to our reception team who can provide you with more information, and advise whether you might benefit from a Dry Eye Clinic appointment.

ZEST stands for Zocular Eyelid System Treatment, and it is a unique and natural eyelid cleansing system, featuring a patented activated okra complex called Zokrex. It is designed to gently lift and clear the oil, debris, and residue on your eyelid margins, leaving you with more comfortable eyes and less irritation.
