Frequently Asked Questions
What causes dry eyes?
Dry eyes occur when your eyes either do not produce enough tears, or the tears evaporate too quickly. This is frequently caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)—a blockage in the tiny glands in your eyelids that produce the essential oily layer of your tear film. Other factors include screen use, hormonal changes, environmental factors, and certain medications.
How do you diagnose the root cause of dry eyes?
At our Newcastle clinic, we do not rely on guesswork. We use advanced non-invasive imaging and diagnostic tools to measure the thickness of your tear layers, evaluate the rate of tear evaporation, and physically image your protective oil glands. This allows us to target the exact cause of your discomfort.
Can dry eyes be permanently cured?
While dry eyes is often a chronic condition, it can be highly successfully managed. By targeting the underlying cause (such as treating gland blockages or reducing ocular surface inflammation) rather than just masking the symptoms with temporary drops, we can help you achieve long-lasting, day-to-day comfort.
Are your dry eye treatments painful?
Not at all. The vast majority of our diagnostic scans and in-clinic treatments are completely painless, gentle, and non-invasive. If we perform any specialised eyelid or gland treatments, we ensure your total comfort throughout.
How much does private dry eye care cost?
We believe in transparent pricing. Your initial, comprehensive consultation with our Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon, including advanced diagnostic assessments and a personalised treatment plan, starts from £300.
