If you tick off any of the symptoms listed below, you may be suffering from dry eye syndrome and could benefit from further investigation.

Do your eyes suffer from?
A dry sensation
Feeling gritty
Burning, stinging or itching
Excessive watering
Discharge
Irritation from wind or smoke
Redness
Tiredness
Photophobia (sensitivity to light)
Contact lens discomfort

These complaints are very commonly found in patients whose work involves periods of concentrated vision e.g. extended computer use. Symptoms usually worsen as the day progresses.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, make an appointment at our Dry Eye Clinic. Please call and make an appointment on 01775 713366.

Mr. Molsom will carefully examine the front of the eye, assess your tears, and using special tests we can determine the exact cause of your dry eyes. We then give you your individual treatment plan, and would normally reassess you after 2-3 months, where we can monitor progress. Further visits would be arranged according to the severity of your problem and how well you are improving.
