Common Symptoms of Dry Eye

Dry eye symptoms can vary from mild irritation to persistent discomfort. Common symptoms include:

  • Burning or stinging eyes
  • Gritty or sandy sensations
  • Redness and irritation
  • Watery eyes
  • Blurred or fluctuating vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Tired eyes during screen use


Symptoms are often made worse by prolonged screen time, air conditioning, heating, contact lens wear, and certain medical conditions.

Comprehensive Dry Eye Assessment

During your appointment, we assess tear quality, tear stability, eyelid health, and the function of the meibomian glands. Understanding the underlying cause allows us to recommend the most effective treatment approach for your individual symptoms.

Personalised Dry Eye Treatment

Treatment recommendations are tailored to your individual symptoms and the underlying cause of your dry eye. Depending on your needs, your personalised management plan may include:

  • Lubricating eye drops
  • Eyelid hygiene advice
  • Warm compress therapy
  • Lifestyle and environmental recommendations
  • Contact lens adjustments
  • Ongoing dry eye monitoring


We also offer carefully selected dry eye products to support your treatment at home, including the Peep Club Heated Eye Wand. Combining gentle warming technology with massage and red LED light therapy, this innovative device is designed to help stimulate the meibomian glands, improve the natural oil layer of the tear film, and provide soothing relief from dry eye symptoms.

Our goal is to improve both comfort and visual quality while helping reduce long-term irritation.
