Gritty, tired or watery eyes by the end of the day? Dry eye is one of the most common things we see, and it's estimated to affect around 1 in 5 adults.
Dr Michael Jones (Optometrist) explains how dry eye treatment works at our Coffs Harbour practice. It starts with working out why your eyes are dry. Often it's the tiny oil glands in the eyelids (meibomian glands), but screens, wind, some medications and age all play a part.
From there, options range from simple home care and drops through to in-clinic treatments, if your optometrist thinks they'd suit you. We use the Lumenis OptiLight (M22) IPL system for dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction, and we also offer Rexon-Eye. Your first consultation attracts a Medicare rebate. In-clinic treatments are privately billed.
