WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF DRY EYE?

• A stinging, burning or scratchy sensation in your eyes
• Stringy mucus in or around your eyes
• Increased eye irritation from smoke or wind

• Eye redness
• A sensation of having something in your eyes
• Difficulty wearing contact lenses
• Periods of excessive tearing
• Blurred vision, often worsening at the end of the day or after focusing for a prolonged period

HOW WE DIAGNOSE DRY EYE

During a dry eye consultation our Optometrist will do a slit lamp evaluation to assess your tear film and meibomian glands, measure your tear break up time, corneal staining and use a Schirmer test to see whether your eyes are producing enough tears.

You will also complete a questionnaire at each visit which will assist us in evaluating how effective your treatment is.

Dry Eye Diagnosis
TearCheck

We use a state of the art diagnostic tool to evaluate your dry eyes. It quickly analyses the following:

• Tear film stability
• Tear break up time
• Meibography (gland analysis)
• Demodex (blepharitis analysis)
• Eye redness levels
• Blinking
• Tear meniscus (tear production levels)
• OSIE (ocular surface inflammatory evaluation)
• OSDI (ocular surface disease index)


Our Optometrists will use the data from this analysis to recommend a dry eye treatment plan that is specific to you.
