SAY GOODBYE TO DRY EYES It’s official. Due to popular demand, Concept Eye Clinic’s specialist service to treat dry eye conditions is back! If you already suffer from dry eye syndrome, the increased use of screen time due to working from home over the last two years will undoubtedly have exacerbated the discomfort. As work/ life boundaries are increasingly blurred, using digital devices over more extended periods of time, may have made us more productive, but with regards to our eye health and overall well being, it can have a detrimental impact. We can’t hold back the passage of time, but we can certainly help address symptoms caused by digital eye strain.

Quite simply, this derives from insufficient lubrication and tears forming to moisten the surface of the eye. Did you know that keeping our eyes healthy and our vision to stay clear, a consistent layer of tears is essential?

As a result, dry eye symptoms may appear and cause discomfort and irritation.
How can this be treated?
Professionally performed, BlephEx™ will reduce or alleviate these chronic and debilitating symptoms. Treatments are typically repeated at regular monthly intervals depending on the severity of the disease. By eliminating the inflammatory etiology of blepharitis/dry eyes, the overall health of the eyelid is improved. You 16

Very knowledgeable and reassuring optometrist. Great manner and nice to chat to during exam. Sam the dispenser also fantastic! She did a great job in helping me choose the perfect glasses. --The most thorough eye examination I’ve ever had. Ross made me feel welcome and very comfortable. I have a family history of eye problems and I felt assured by the advanced diagnostics here and how my eye condition was explained. Glasses selection is also excellent here. Concept is definitely worth the extra travel! --My whole eye examination process with Ross and Sam was superb. As an ITU staff nurse I can recognise excellence when I see it and experience it. This practice go the extra mile for their clients. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Concept!
