Dry eye treatments by qualified opticians

Dry eye occurs when the tear ducts do not produce tears properly or when the tears are not of the correct consistency and evaporate too quickly. In addition, inflammation of the surface of the eye may occur along with dry eye. If left untreated, this condition can lead to pain, ulcers, or scars on the cornea, and some loss of vision. However, permanent loss of vision from dry eye is uncommon. Dry eye can make it difficult to perform activities, such as using a computer or reading for an extended period. It can also decrease tolerance for dry environments, such as the air inside an aeroplane.

Dry eye syndrome affects many people. Unfortunately, this complex condition is often untreated or treated inadequately and patients continue to bear with the symptoms of dry eyes. At Mike Cees Opticians, our opticians are trained to provide specialised eye testing and a thorough evaluation of your dry eye condition. We will accurately diagnose what causes your dry eyes and institute a treatment regimen customised for you. Our goal will always be to provide real, symptomatic relief for the short and long term.
