Dry Eye Treatment: Alleviating Irritation and Restoring Ocular Health

Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome

Dry eye syndrome arises when the eyes do not produce an adequate quantity of tears or the tears evaporate too swiftly, resulting in discomfort and blurred vision. This condition is often chronic and, if not addressed, may adversely affect daily comfort and overall eye health.

The Importance of Early Detection

The timely identification of dry eye syndrome is crucial in mitigating persistent irritation, blurred vision, and potential long-term damage to the eyes. Our personalised eye examinations enable us to detect concerns before they escalate, thereby allowing the formulation of a tailored treatment plan designed to ensure enduring comfort and enhanced ocular health over time.

Common Symptoms of Dry Eye

Individuals presenting with dry eye syndrome often report one or more of the following symptoms:

Gritty or burning sensations in the eyes

Redness and irritation

Blurred vision, particularly after prolonged screen exposure

Increased sensitivity to light

Excessive tearing as a reflexive response to dryness

Diagnostic Procedures for Dry Eye

Our advanced diagnostic assessments are efficient, non-invasive, and provide an in-depth evaluation of tear film dynamics and ocular surface health:


Keratoconus Image

Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT)

This test measures the rapidity of tear evaporation from the ocular surface.


Keratoconus Image

Meibomian Gland Imaging

This assessment evaluates the glands responsible for producing the oil component of tears, which is vital for maintaining tear stability.

Tear Film Analysis

This analysis looks into the composition of tears to identify the underlying causes of dryness.


These evaluations, in conjunction with a comprehensive clinical history, inform the development of the most effective treatment strategy.

Treatment Modalities at Phiroze M. Dastoor & Co.

We customise treatment plans to address both symptoms and underlying causes, intending to provide long-lasting relief and restore ocular health. Our consultants will recommend an appropriate course of action, which may include:

icon

Artificial Tears & Lubricating Drops

These provide immediate alleviation of dryness and burning sensations throughout the day.

icon

Medicated Eye Drops

Prescription anti-inflammatory drops can diminish irritation, enhance tear quality, and stimulate natural tear production.

icon

Punctal Plugs

These are small inserts placed in the tear ducts to retain natural tears longer, thus minimising the necessity for frequent application of drops.

icon

Lid Hygiene and Warm Compresses

Routine cleaning and treatment for lid conditions can enhance oil secretion, stabilise the tear film, and decrease evaporation.

Advanced Technological Treatments

We offer cutting-edge thermal pulsation and light-based therapies that specifically target meibomian gland dysfunction, thereby restoring natural lubrication and tear stability.

Home Care and Lifestyle Recommendations

  • Adhere to the prescribed schedule for eye drops and lid care routines diligently.
  • Implement environmental modifications at home or in the workplace to manage humidity and mitigate dryness triggers.
  • Ensure regular blinking when utilising screens and incorporate short, intentional breaks.
  • Maintain proper hydration and include omega-3-rich foods in one's diet, as recommended by your clinician.
