Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common eye conditions we treat at Prime Optometrists. It causes persistent discomfort, blurred vision, and irritation, and is frequently undertreated elsewhere. Our therapeutically endorsed optometrist provides a thorough assessment of your tear film and meibomian gland function, then creates a personalised evidence-based management plan targeting the root cause.
What's included
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) assessment
- Tear film break-up time measurement
- Ocular surface staining
- Schirmer's tear production test
- Prescription eye drops and lubricants
- Heat therapy and lid hygiene protocols

Many cases can be very well controlled. We target the underlying cause rather than masking symptoms.
