Does This Sound Like You?

• You’ve “tried everything” and nothing works
• You’ve been told to just use drops long-term
• You’ve been told you have “blepharitis” but no idea how to treat it
• Your symptoms keep coming back
• You’ve been to your local high street opticians for advice but leave dissatisfied at their lack of knowledge, experience and equipment

 

Common symptoms of dry eye:

• Burning, stinging, or gritty eyes
• Redness and irritation
• Watery eyes (a key sign of dry eye)
• Blurred or fluctuating vision
• Contact lens discomfort
• Screen-related eye strain

These are often signs of an underlying dry-eye related condition – THIS IS NOT something you just HAVE to accept and live with

During your Dry Eye Consultation, we use advanced diagnostic technology to provide you with a:

• Detailed dry eye relevant case history, discussion and consultation
• Anterior eye imaging
• Tear film analysis
• Meibography (non-invasive infra-red imaging of the meibomian glands)
• Use of clinical dyes to assess ocular surface health
• Corneal topography (detailed mapping of the corneal surface to detect irregularities caused by dry eye)

 

Why Choose Us?

• Independent prescribing optometrist-led care
• Special interest and knowledge in dry eye management and treatments
• Decades of clinical experience
• Over 450+ 5-star Google reviews
• Already established region-wide urgent eye care service
• Strong relationships with local GPs and pharmacies

As we are led by independent prescribing optometrists, we can diagnose and medically manage dry eye with full prescribing authority (not widely available in standard practice).

 

Why does a Specialist Dry Eye Clinic Matters?

Dry eye disease is a complex, chronic medical condition — yet it is not funded by the NHS as a dedicated service.

As a result, most patients are:

• Quickly advised to “use artificial tears” or “lid wipes”
• Given limited time for proper investigation
• Managed without access to advanced diagnostics or targeted treatment

  

The Reality of Standard High Street Care

While high street opticians play an important role in basic eye care, they are often limited by:

• Time-restricted appointments
• Lack of specialist dry eye equipment
• Limited access to advanced diagnostics
• No prescribing authority in most cases
• Lack of knowledge and experience in dry eye management

This means the underlying cause of your dry eye is often never fully identified or treated

 

Our Difference: Specialist, Prescribing-Led Care

At our clinic, we take a completely different approach.

We provide:

• Comprehensive, in-depth assessments
• Expert-led diagnosis
• Access to prescription-only treatments
• Targeted, personalised treatment plans

 

If your dry eye has not improved with standard treatment, it is likely because the underlying cause has not yet been properly diagnosed.
