The Dry Eye Counselling Service is designed to complement your clinical care by providing individualised education and environmental management strategies.

A Targeted, Educational Approach to Managing Dry Eye Disease

Dry eye disease is a multifactorial condition influenced by both internal and external factors. While medical and in-clinic treatments are crucial, the environments and activities we expose our eyes to each day often determine the long-term success of those therapies.

  • Conduct a detailed review of your daily activities to understand how work, home, and recreational habits impact your eyes
  • Identify specific environmental triggers, such as air conditioning, screen use, wind exposure, or lighting conditions.
  • Recommend practical adjustments and eye-friendly activities that can be incorporated into your daily routine.
  • Offer evidence-based strategies to mitigate environmental risk factors and enhance the longevity of your treatment outcomes.
