Book in for a Dry Eye Examination with our eye care experts.

At Whitehouse Optometrists we can diagnose and treat dry eye syndrome. Dry eye is a common condition, which affects one in four people worldwide and is more likely to occur in women and the elderly. Symptoms of dry eye include burning, scratching, irritation, redness and watering of the eye, as well as blurred vision. Although dry eye is generally not a sight-threatening condition, it can cause significant discomfort for sufferers. Dry eye can be caused by insufficient tear production from the lacrimal gland or an unstable lipid layer, which is the thin oily layer on the outer most part of the tear film.

Dry eye syndrome is very common and can be caused by a variety of factors, so it’s only by discussing your symptoms and examining your eyes that we can diagnose and determine the best treatment plan for your condition.

If you have any dry eye symptoms, book an examination today.
