Dry Eyes

Over the years we have had many clients suffering from Dry Eye Syndrome. Sufferers complain of discomfort with dryness, itching and for some, a feeling of grittiness or that there’s something foreign in their eye. In fact, almost 20% of you may find that you have these symptoms. Our modern lifestyle – involving working on computer screens, pollution, air travel, wearing contact lenses, artificial lighting and air conditioning – is increasingly making Dry Eye Syndrome more prevalent.

Basically what is occurring with Dry Eye conditions is that there are insufficient tears being formed or there is excessive evaporation of moisture in the eye’s lacrimal layer. The evaportive form of Dry Eye Syndfome is called Meibomian Gland Dusfuntion (MGD).

Good news is we provide a treatment called E>EYE therapy which uses Polychromatic Intense Pulsed Light Therapy. It’s non-evasive, and performed by our very own Optometrist, Michael Warnock, right here in Burwood.  He is really impressed with the technology and our clients have experienced very positive results.
