Dry Eye Clinic
Dry, gritty, sore or watery eyes are easy to dismiss — but they can affect how you work, read, drive, wear contact lenses and feel throughout the day.
A more considered approach
At STOTTS., our Dry Eye Clinic is designed to look beyond temporary relief and understand what is really causing your symptoms.
Because dry eye is not always simply a lack of tears. It can be linked to tear quality, inflammation, eyelid health, screen use, environment, contact lens wear, medication, age, hormones and the way your eyes behave day to day.
Our role is to identify what is happening, explain it clearly, and create a personalised plan to help your eyes feel more comfortable.

From understanding to treatment
The clearer the picture, the better the plan — everything we recommend is shaped by what your assessment reveals.
