As dry eye syndrome is caused by an imbalance of tears on the eye's surface the most logical way to treat the problem is to artificially replace the tears. This is the most common treatment we use at the practice.

Generally, the drops we supply can be used throughout the day, depending upon the severity of the problem. For severe cases, non-medicated lubricated ointments or gels can also be used.

We supply several varieties of artificial tears and following your examination, we'll advise you about the best type for your particular problem. Artificial tears are available without prescription and it's worth noting that if one type fails to help another may work extremely well.

Artificial tears effectively relieve symptoms in the majority of cases. Call us to make an appointment.
