Dry Eye Service at Barnett Opticians
Dry, irritated, or tired eyes? You may be experiencing Dry Eye Syndrome, a common condition that affects comfort and vision. At Barnett Opticians, we offer expert assessments and tailored treatments to help manage dry eye symptoms, ensuring your eyes stay healthy and comfortable.
What Causes Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough quality tears to stay lubricated. Several factors can contribute to this condition, including:
- Ageing – Tear production naturally decreases with age.
- Screen Use – Prolonged time on digital devices reduces blinking, leading to dryness.
- Environmental Factors – Air conditioning, heating, and windy conditions can exacerbate symptoms.
- Contact Lenses – Long-term use can affect tear production and eye hydration.
- Medical Conditions & Medications – Certain medications and conditions like diabetes and arthritis can contribute to dry eyes.
Symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome
If you experience any of the following, you may have Dry Eye Syndrome:
- Gritty, scratchy, or burning sensation
- Watery eyes (a reaction to dryness)
- Redness or irritation
- Blurred vision that improves with blinking
- Sensitivity to light
If these symptoms sound familiar, our expert team can assess your eye health and recommend the best treatment plan.
