Dry Eye Management

Understanding Dry Eye

Dry eye is a common condition where your eyes do not produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly, or a combination of both. This can lead to discomfort, blurry vision, or irritation that impacts your daily activities.

At Lumiere Eyecare, we take a personalised approach to diagnosing and managing dry eye, ensuring you receive effective and lasting relief.

Common Symptoms

• Burning, stinging, or gritty sensation

• Tired or heavy eyes

• Excessive tearing (reflex tearing from dryness)

• Blurred or fluctuating vision

• Redness or irritation

• Sensitivity to wind, air conditioning, or digital screens

Causes

Dry eye can develop due to many factors, including:

• Age-related changes in tear production

• Prolonged screen use and reduced blinking

• Contact lens wear

• Certain medications

• Environmental conditions (wind, dry climate, air conditioning)

• Underlying health conditions such as autoimmune diseases

Our Dry Eye Management Approach

We use the latest diagnostic tools to assess the quality and stability of your tears, as well as the health of your eyelids and meibomian glands. Based on your needs, we develop a customised treatment plan that may include:

• Lubricating Eye Drops – Advanced artificial tears for daily comfort

• Lid Hygiene & Demodex Management – Cleansing routines to reduce inflammation and bacteria

• Hot Compresses – Improve meibomian gland function

• Punctal Plugs – Tiny devices to help retain natural tears

• Therapeutic Prescriptions – Anti-inflammatory drops, cyclosporin drops or other medications when needed

• Nutritional Support – Omega-3 supplementation for healthier tear film

• In-office Treatments – Procedures such as BlephEx® and meibomian gland expression to improve long-term tear quality
