Dry Eye Explained

Dry eye syndrome (DES) happens when your eyes can’t stay comfortably moist. Tears usually help keep your eyes wet and healthy. But with dry eye, there’s a problem with your tears. It’s like your eyes are not getting enough moisture to stay comfortable.

There are different types of dry eye:

  1. Evaporative Dry Eye: This happens when the tears evaporate too quickly because there’s not enough oil to keep them stable.
  2. Aqueous-Deficient Dry Eye: Here, your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or the tears they make are not of the right quality to keep your eyes moist.

What Are The Symptoms of Dry Eye?

The symptoms of dry eye can vary from person to person, but common signs include:

  • Eyes feeling dry, itchy, or scratchy
  • Eyes appear red or bloodshot
  • Burning or stinging sensation
  • Blurry vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Excessive tearing
  • Feeling like something’s in your eye
  • Difficulty wearing contact lenses

Dry Eye Solutions Tailored Just for You

ReFocus Eye Health’s dry eye specialists in Cheshire are committed to providing advanced care to alleviate the discomfort and inconvenience caused by DES. We offer a range of advanced therapies to ensure your eyes receive the precise care they require. These therapies include:

  1. Prescription Eye Drops: We prescribe eye drops that provide relief and enhance the quality of your tears, ensuring better eye comfort.
  2. Punctal Plugs: These tiny, high-end devices are placed in your tear ducts to slow the drainage of tears, helping to maintain moisture on your eye’s surface.
  3. Lifestyle Modifications: Small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference. We provide guidance on environmental adjustments to reduce your symptoms.
