Comfort Restored
Dry Eye Clinic
Burning, gritty, tired or paradoxically watery eyes are rarely 'just stress'. Dry eye disease is a real, measurable and very treatable condition.
We identify which type of dry eye you have (reduced tear production, poor tear quality or eyelid gland dysfunction), because the treatment for each is different.
Common causes
Meibomian gland dysfunction
Blocked oil glands in the eyelids destabilise the tear film.
Screen and air-conditioning exposure
Reduced blink rate and dry air accelerate evaporation.
Harmattan and dust
Abuja's dry season significantly worsens symptoms for most sufferers.
Medication & systemic disease
Antihistamines, some antihypertensives, thyroid and autoimmune disease.
Contact lens wear
Long hours of wear and poor lens hygiene disrupt the ocular surface.
Diagnosis
Tear film assessment
Tear break-up time and volume to quantify severity.
Lid margin evaluation
Detailed slit lamp assessment of the oil glands and lash line.
Ocular surface staining
Reveals surface damage that plain examination misses.
Treatment
Warm compress therapy
Structured, correctly timed heat to release blocked oil glands.
Steam eye spa
In-clinic therapeutic steam and lid hygiene for immediate relief.
Artificial tears
Preservative-free lubricants matched to your tear film deficiency.
Lifestyle advice
Blink training, screen setup, hydration and humidity guidance.
IPL therapy (coming soon)
Intense pulsed light for persistent gland dysfunction.
