STEP 2 Diagnosis

The Optometrist will conduct several tests during your Dry Eye Assessment to determine the cause of your dry eyes, and will share the diagnosis with you

STEP 3 Action Plan

Your Optometrist will create a tailored action plan to help treat your dry eyes. Our Dry Eye patients have reported significant dry eye symptom reduction after their treatment!

STEP 4 Treatment

For mild dry eyes, the Optometrist may provide you with a mixture of solutions and/ or warm compress masks for home treatment. For more severe dry eyes, the Optometrist may use the latest dry eye equipment to treat your dry eyes within the clinic as part of a clinical action plan.

Action Plan

Your dry eye treatment procedure ‘Action Plan’

Through careful analysis of your dry eyes, ranging from questionnaires to the latest dry eye diagnostic machinery, our eye doctors determine the root of your condition.

Many Optometrists in Australia will prescribe eye drops to help alleviate dry eye symptoms. If you have severe dry eyes, this will not act as a sufficient preventative treatment. Our Optometrists are passionate about studying and diagnosing your dry eyes to come up with the best way, to help your eye health improve long term.

Once your condition has been accurately diagnosed, your Optometrist will create a tailored action plan to help alleviate discomfort caused by having dry eyes.

Dry eye treatment procedures vary depending on the cause of your dry eyes. Dry eye symptoms can be reduced significantly after only the first day of treatments!
