What is dry eyes?

“Our consultants are specially trained to perform delicate surgery to the eyes and eyelids, giving you the best possible results.”

Dry eye syndrome is very common and is a result of inadequate lubrication from the tears in the eyes.

Tears can provide inadequate lubrication due to insufficient amounts of tears or due production of poor-quality tears, resulting in dry eyes. This tear instability causes inflammation and damage to the eye's surface.

Dry eyes can feel uncomfortable and symptoms include:

A stinging, burning or scratchy eyes
Stringy mucus in or around your eyes
Eye redness
The feeling something is in your eyes
Difficulty with nighttime driving
Light sensitivity
Blurred vision or eye fatigue

Your eyes may feel more dry in certain situations, such as on an airplane, in an air-conditioned room or after looking at a computer screen for a few hours.

Treatments for dry eyes make symptoms manageable. These can include lifestyle changes and eyedrops.
