Dry Eye Test

Your initial dry eye test will determine the nature of your dry eyes. The Dry Eye Test is a one-hour assessment whereby the Optometrists conducts several tests to accurately diagnose your dry eyes.

Our Dry Eye test involves

  • A quantitative assessment and digital record (including images and video) of your tear film break up time
  • Meibomian gland quality test
  • Eye redness and lipid quality test
  • Slit lamp examination to assess the health of the outer and inner eye.

The Optometrists must be notified of any health history/ medications that you’re taking before the dry eye examination. It is recommended, but not mandatory to organise a referral with this information from your GP or Specialist.

Our Dry Eye team members are happy to organise this on your behalf if you would like assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What if I want to reduce my dry eyes by having treatments at your Melbourne Dry Eye Group eye clinics, but had my initial dry eye examination elsewhere?

Easy! The original optometrist needs to provide our eye clinic with your eye health history and a referral stating the findings of your dry eye examination. Once received and understood by our Optometrist, we can bypass the dry eye examination, create a treatment plan, and continue to assist you in your dry eye journey.
