Dry eye clinic, for real relief
Dry eye disease can make daily tasks difficult. At the Nu-Sight dry eye clinic in Aylesbury we find the factors causing it and put together a personalised plan.
What is dry eye disease?
A debilitating condition that causes a lot of discomfort, dry eye disease occurs when your eyes aren’t producing enough tears, or the tears they are producing evaporate too quickly. This dries out your eyes, causing inflammation and irritation.
Our optometrists will conduct an examination to check your eyes and talk to you about your lifestyle to determine the factors that may be causing it. From this they will put together a personalised plan to improve the condition, with regular check-ups to observe progress.
Who is it for?
- People with light sensitivity
- Anyone with sore or red eyes
- People who feel a burning sensation in the eyes
- Anyone who has difficulty opening their eyes in the morning
