DRY EYE CLINIC
The Dry Eye Clinic is a specialist eye care service to diagnose and manage Ocular surface disease, relieving dry eye symptoms & preventing long-term complications.
When visiting us, you will need two 30-minute appointments with our specialist Optometrist or Contact Lens Optician for an in-depth assessment. During these appointments you will receive a full examination of your tear film quality and quantity. Using this information alongside information about your lifestyle and general health allows us to ascertain if Dry Eye Disease is the issue, after which a management plan can be created. BlephEx treatment can be performed if indicated.
We stock all the products the patient will need following on from the appointment. Our Dry Eye Clinic is available at these locations; Attleborough, Aylsham, Dereham, Harleston, Norwich, Watton and Wymondham.
