Dry Eye Management

Your eyes deserve to feel refreshed and comfortable.

We are your partners in navigating dry eye and reclaiming the joy of clear vision.

We offer a range of evidence-based solutions to soothe your dry eyes and bring back lasting relief:

Artificial tears: Discover the correct eye drops for your needs, from preservative-free formulas to specialised lubricants and ointments.

Eyelid hygiene: Specially developed eye lid wipes, to clean debris and kill micro-organisms.

Warm compresses and lid massage: Teaching at home treatment to warm up the meibomian glands (the tear glands that produce the important lipid/oily layer of the tears), messaging the eye lids to enhance the production of the meibum (oily/lipid layer).

Active dry eye treatment: Various more effective in-office management treatment. Such as meibomian gland expression (Unblocking the meibomian glands more effectively), punctal plugs that increase the tear volume by decreasing the outflow of tears through blocking the passage through which the tears are excreted through the nasal passage.

Dry eye doesn’t have to control your life. We empower you to manage your condition effectively and enjoy the comfort of clear, healthy eyes once again.

A brighter future starts with seeing clearly, together.

At DeonOptom, we’re your trusted partner on this journey, ensuring every member of your family sees the world with confidence, clearer, and a smile.
