Dry eye is one of the most common eye conditions in South Africa. Here's what you should know.
Dry eye disease occurs when your tears aren't able to provide adequate lubrication. Symptoms include burning, grittiness, redness, blurred vision, and eye fatigue. It affects millions of South Africans.
Our 15-step DEWS III protocol includes OSDI questionnaires, tear film break-up time, meibomian gland imaging, lid assessment, and ocular surface staining — the gold standard in dry eye diagnostics.
Our 4-pillar approach targets the root cause: eyelid biofilm management, meibomian gland obstruction, inflammation control, and tear film optimisation. Personalised plans, not one-size-fits-all.
