Personalised Dry Eye Care

Dry Eye Treatment in Surrey Hills

Dry, gritty, burning or irritated eyes can affect your comfort, concentration and everyday activities.

Dry eye is not always simply a matter of needing more eye drops. Tear quality, eyelid health, environmental factors, medications and meibomian gland dysfunction may all contribute to your symptoms.

At In2Eyes, we start by understanding what may be causing your symptoms. A detailed dry eye assessment helps our optometrists examine your tear film, eyelids and meibomian glands before recommending the appropriate next step.

Your treatment plan is based on your assessment findings, your symptoms and your individual needs.

Understanding Your Symptoms

Dry Eye Is Not One-Size-Fits-All

Two people can experience similar symptoms for different reasons.

That is why understanding your symptoms and what may be contributing to them is an important part of deciding what care may be appropriate.

Tired or heavy-feeling eyes
Itchy or irritated eyes
Stinging or burning sensations
Redness
Occasional blurred vision
A gritty or foreign-body sensation
The goal is not simply to mask the symptom. It is to understand what may be contributing to it and determine the appropriate next step.

Comprehensive Assessment

Treatment Starts with Understanding What May Be Causing Your Symptoms

Choosing a treatment makes more sense when we first understand what is happening with your eyes.

During a dry eye assessment, your optometrist may use a combination of examination techniques and advanced technology to evaluate your ocular surface, eyelids, tear film and meibomian glands.

Slit-lamp examination
Tear film evaluation
Tear production assessment
Meibomian gland imaging
Lipid layer assessment
Red eye assessment

Where appropriate, measurements and images can also provide a record that may be compared over time.

Your Dry Eye Treatment Action Plan

Treatment Based on Your Eyes, Not a One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Different contributing factors may require different types of support.

Your optometrist will explain the options that may be suitable based on your assessment findings, symptoms and individual needs.

01

IPL

May be considered for suitable patients when meibomian gland dysfunction is contributing to dry eye symptoms.

02

LipiFlow

Thermal pulsation technology may be recommended for suitable patients with blocked meibomian glands.

03

Blephasteam

Controlled moist warming may form part of an eyelid and meibomian gland care plan.

04

BlephEx

In-office eyelid cleaning may be considered when eyelid debris or blepharitis requires additional management.

05

Eye Drops & Ointments

Your optometrist can recommend products and frequency based on your individual requirements.

06

Home Care

Your plan may also include eyelid hygiene, warming, blinking habits or other practical changes where appropriate.

Not every patient needs every treatment. Your Dry Eye Treatment Action Plan is tailored to what we find during your assessment.
