Experts used to think that the symptoms of dry eye were due to a lack of tears being produced in the eye. Unfortunately research has shown that for many people the symptoms we now call 'Dry Eye' are not caused by a lack of tears at all and that 'Dry Eye' may actually be a misleading name. Perhaps a better name would be Sore or Inflamed Eye.
The Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society has defined Dry Eye as “a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance, and tear film instability with potential damage to the ocular surface. It is accompanied by increased osmolarity of the tear film and inflammation of the ocular surface”
An effective treatment of the condition must not only involve treating the symptoms, such as lack of tear production or Meibomian function, but must also address the cause of the inflammation itself.
There are a number of ways to treat Dry Eye symptoms and causes but there is no one size fits all approach to treatment. Some patients respond best to a range of different techniques over time. At the Dry Eye Centre, we are one of the few expert centres in the UK that offer IPL treatment. We are also one of few practices that is licensed to prescribe medicines to reduce inflammation. We often combine these with our other treatments to get the maximum effect to try to cure this difficult disease.
