Dry eye syndrome is a condition that can impact one’s quality of life if allowed to progress without treatment. People with dry eyes do not produce enough tears, or the tears they do produce are of poor quality and do not have enough of the oily layer to stop them evaporating. This results in the eyes producing watery tears that provide short term relief leaving the eyes feeling uncomfortable and gritty.  Symptoms to look out for:

1. Gritty feeling eyes

2. Sore and sometimes painful eyes

3. Itchy, burning eyes

4. Short-term blurred vision

5. Watery eyes, as if you are crying especially in cold weather

There are many treatment options for dry eye. To discuss the management of your dry eyes further, please book a Dry Eye Consultation.
