Dry-eye clinic
At Wendy Diddams Optometrists, we understand the discomfort and frustration that comes with dry eyes. Our specialised Dry Eye Clinic offers comprehensive care and effective treatments to alleviate your symptoms and enhance your overall eye health.
What is Dry Eye?
Dry Eye is a common yet often underdiagnosed condition that affects how your eyes feel and function. It occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort and blurred vision.
Symptoms of Dry Eye May Include:
-
A gritty, stinging, or burning sensation
-
Feeling like there’s something in your eye
-
Excessive watering (a response to dryness)
-
Redness and irritation
-
Blurred or fluctuating vision
-
Eye fatigue, especially after screen use or reading
If you’re experiencing any of these dry eye symptoms, Wendy Diddams Opticians can help!

With this information, we tailor your treatment to suit your unique eye profile, no guesswork involved.
