👀 Dry, sore, or gritty eyes?
Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears — or when the quality of your tears isn’t good enough to protect the delicate surface of your eye.

It’s a common condition, especially with ageing, screen use, and is more frequent in women.

💻 Long hours on phones, tablets, and computers can make it worse by reducing how often we blink.

✨ Don’t put up with the discomfort any longer — get your life back!

At Shattky Optometrists, we offer specialised dry eye assessments and treatment in our dedicated Dry Eye clinic room, with personalised care to help you feel comfortable again.

Meibomian glands are tiny oil glands in your eyelids that keep your eyes comfortable.

💧 They produce an oil layer that:

Stops your tears from evaporating too quickly
Keeps your eyes smooth and moisturised

⚠️ If they get blocked (common with screen time), you can get:

Dry, gritty eyes
Burning or irritation
Watery eyes

🔥 That’s why warm eye masks help — they melt the blocked oils so your glands can work properly again.
👉 Healthy glands = stable tears = comfortable eyes

👀 Struggling with dry, irritated eyes?

A simple solution could make a big difference…
🔥 Warm eye masks (like the Eye Doctor mask) are a powerful, optometrist-recommended way to relieve dry eyes and discomfort.

They work by gently warming your eyelids to:
✅ Unblock oil glands
✅ Improve tear quality
✅ Reduce dryness and irritation

❄️ Bonus: Use them cold to help soothe puffy, inflamed, or allergy-prone eyes.

💡 Just 10 minutes a day can help restore comfort and support healthier eyes long-term.

At Shattky Optometrists, we can show you how to use heat therapy effectively as part of your personalised dry eye treatment plan.

✨ Comfortable eyes start here.
