Struggling with dry, watery, burning, or irritated eyes? Our Burwood East optometry clinic offers advanced dry eye assessment and treatment using clinically supported technology designed to improve comfort, vision, and everyday quality of life.
Dry Eye Disease (DED) is a common but often overlooked condition that can significantly affect your comfort, vision, and daily life.
It occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears, or when the tear film becomes unstable — leading to irritation, blurred vision, and sensitivity.
A leading cause is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), where the oil glands in your eyelids become blocked. Without this essential oil layer, tears evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes dry and irritated.
These symptoms can affect screen use, reading, driving, and everyday comfort.
We offer Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) — an advanced, clinically supported treatment available at our Burwood East clinic.
This non-invasive LED light therapy gently warms the eyelids, helping to unblock the meibomian glands and restore a healthy tear film.
Dry eye is a chronic condition, which means effective management requires a tailored approach.
Our Burwood East optometrist team will conduct a comprehensive assessment and design a personalised treatment plan based on your condition, lifestyle, and severity.
Dry eyes are commonly caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), ageing, screen use, air conditioning, medications, and environmental factors.
In most cases, dry eye is chronic and does not resolve without treatment, but symptoms can be significantly improved with proper management.
No — treatments including LLLT are completely painless and comfortable.
Yes. LLLT is safe, non-invasive, and clinically supported for managing dry eye and MGD.
Don’t ignore the signs of dry eye. Early treatment can improve comfort, vision, and quality of life.
