Treatments at the clinic
Dry eye testing: what is checked at the clinic and why it matters
Questionnaire, slit lamp, staining and gland checks: finding your type of dryness before choosing treatment.
IPL treatment for dry eyes and the meibomian glands
Broad-spectrum pulsed light (not a laser) for blocked meibomian glands, usually with gland expression.
Meibomian gland expression at the clinic

BlephEx treatment: professional cleaning of the eyelid margins
Professional lid margin cleaning that removes debris and bacteria, for stubborn blepharitis and Demodex.
Punctal plugs: keeping tears in the eye
Tiny plugs that slow tear drainage, so that tears and drops stay on the eye for longer.
Autologous serum eye drops for severe dry eye
Drops prepared from your own blood, for severe dry eye that does not respond to ordinary drops.
Bandage contact lens: a "bandage" for the cornea
A soft lens that shields the cornea like a bandage, eases pain and helps it heal, with close follow-up.
