Dry Eye Assessment
You can simply call in and request a dry eye assessment. We can take referrals from GPs and other opticians whose patients have tried a number of treatments without success. We will devise an individual plan to suit your needs.
Your appointment will last around 30-45 minutes with the Optometrist. Dry eye assessment is not funded by the NHS. We will take a detailed history and symptoms, use fluorescein sodium to assess the tear film quality and ocular surface, assess the underside of the eyelids, assess the eyelid margin and the orifices of the meibomian glands, assess the tear ducts, assess your blink rate and response, assess your tear break-up time (TBUT), assess your tear meniscus and make recommendations for treatment/management.
