DRY EYE ASSESSMENT
WHAT IS DRY EYE?
Dry eye is a common condition that can cause discomfort, irritation, blurred vision, and a persistent gritty or burning sensation. Our Dry Eye Assessment helps identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and guide effective, long-term treatment.
TEAR FILM ANALYSIS
The tear film plays a vital role in keeping the eyes comfortable and vision clear. During a Dry Eye Assessment, we analyse how stable your tear film is and how long it remains intact between blinks.
This allows us to:
-
Measure tear film breakup time
-
Visualise areas where the tear film breaks down
-
Identify whether dry eye is caused by tear deficiency or rapid evaporation
DETAILED EYE SURFACE IMAGING
Using high-resolution colour imaging, we examine the surface of the eye and surrounding structures in detail.
This helps us to:
-
Assess eyelid and eye surface health
-
Identify inflammation or redness
-
Detect conditions such as blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction
-
Grade findings using recognised clinical scales
