Dry, gritty, sore or irritated eyes are not always “just dry eye”.

Sometimes the real issue is linked to eyelid inflammation, blocked oil glands, Demodex mites, or bacterial imbalance around the lid margin.

In our latest blog, we look at a patient case involving Demodex blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction, and explain how combined light therapy helped improve oil quality, reduce lash debris and support a healthier tear film.

Every patient is different, but a detailed assessment can help identify what is really driving your symptoms.

🚭 World No Tabacco Day 🚭

Did you know that smoking can affect far more than just your lungs? Your eye health can also suffer from the harmful effects of smoking 👁️

Smoking has been linked to an increased risk of:
• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
• Cataracts
• Dry eye symptoms
• Reduced blood flow to the eyes
• Damage to the optic nerve

Taking steps to stop smoking can have huge benefits for both your general health and your vision 💙

Regular eye examinations are an important way to help monitor your eye health and detect changes early. Here at Earlam & Christopher, we use advanced technology to help care for your eyes and overall wellbeing.
