Dry Eye Disease

Screen Time Shouldn't Hurt
Your Eyes. Ours Don't.

Dry eye is not just "tired eyes" — it is a chronic condition involving dysfunction of the tear film. Treating it properly requires diagnosing which component of the tear film has failed, not just reaching for the nearest artificial tear drop.

Modern digital dry eye screening using the IDRA system replaces the guesswork of traditional dry eye assessment. We get objective, reproducible data on every parameter of your tear film — then create a targeted treatment plan that actually addresses the root cause.

🔬 IDRA System — analyses tear film breakup time, meibomian glands, lipid layer, and osmolarity in a single exam

SYMPTOMS OF DRY EYE DISEASE

🔥
Burning or stinging
Persistent burning, especially in air-conditioned spaces or during screen use
😰
Watery eyes
Paradoxically, dry eyes often water excessively — a reflex response to poor base tear quality
👁️
Blurred vision
Vision fluctuates throughout the day and improves momentarily after blinking
😣
Foreign body sensation
The feeling that something is in your eye — even when nothing is there
💻
Screen fatigue
Eyes tire quickly during computer or phone use — often with headache above the eyes
🌬️
Wind or smoke sensitivity
Eyes water or sting in response to breeze, smoke, or low-humidity environments

IDRA Digital Dry Eye Screening

A comprehensive, objective dry eye analysis that measures tear film breakup time, meibomian gland imaging, lipid layer quality, blink rate, and osmolarity — giving us a complete clinical picture in one session rather than relying on subjective questionnaires alone.

Therapeutic Heat Mask Treatment

Meibomian gland dysfunction — where the oil-secreting glands in the eyelid become blocked — is the most common underlying cause of dry eye. Controlled thermal mask therapy melts the inspissated oils, restoring the lipid layer of the tear film and dramatically reducing evaporation.

Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS)

CVS is a pattern of eye strain, headache, blurred vision, and neck ache caused by prolonged unoptimised screen use. We evaluate screen distance, monitor settings, room lighting, and spectacle prescription — then create a personalised management plan for working professionals and students.

🩺
Punctal Plug Therapy

For patients with moderate to severe aqueous deficient dry eye, tiny silicone plugs inserted into the tear drainage openings (puncta) conserve the natural tears present — providing lasting relief without any systemic medication. Temporary and permanent options available.

✓ Temporary (dissolving) · Permanent silicone plugs

Lacrimal / Dacryocystitis Management

Blocked tear ducts cause persistent watering, recurrent infections, and discharge from the eye. We offer syringing & probing, DCT, conventional DCR, and minimally invasive Endoscopic DCR — the most modern approach with no external scar and a shorter recovery.

✓ DCT · DCR · Endoscopic DCR · Sac Syringing

Keratoconus Screening & CXL

Keratoconus — a thinning and forward bulging of the cornea — causes progressive, irregular astigmatism that glasses cannot fully correct. Early detection via corneal topography allows timely Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL) to halt progression permanently before vision is compromised.

Cornea & Conjunctiva

Corneal Care for Every Condition

From pterygium excision to emergency corneal repairs, our cornea service handles the full range with established surgical techniques and modern grafting materials.

👁️
Pterygium Excision
Removal of conjunctival growth encroaching on the cornea. Performed with autograft, dry, or wet amniotic membrane — with fibrin glue for a sutureless finish where appropriate.
🔗
Collagen Cross-Linking (CXL)
UV-A light + Riboflavin treatment that permanently stiffens corneal collagen, halting keratoconus progression. Also used for infectious melting keratitis.
🩹
Corneal Tear Repair
Emergency surgical repair of corneal and corneoscleral lacerations with fine nylon sutures, restoring ocular integrity after trauma.
💊
Ulcer Management
Debridement and intrastromal antibiotic injection for corneal ulcers, with bandage contact lens application for comfort and healing promotion.
Oculoplasty

Lid, Orbit & Tear Duct Surgery —
Function First, Every Time

Oculoplasty addresses conditions affecting the eyelids, tear drainage system, and eye socket. Our approach is always functional first — restoring normal eyelid mechanics and comfortable vision before considering aesthetics.

⬇️
Ptosis Repair (Drooping Eyelid)
Drooping of the upper lid can impair vision and cause head-back posture. Corrected with suture sling or silicone sling depending on the degree of levator muscle function.
↩️
Entropion & Ectropion
Inward-turning (entropion) or outward-turning (ectropion) of the eyelid margin causes chronic irritation, tearing, or exposure. Corrected with lid-tightening or lid-repositioning surgery.
🔵
Chalazion Incision & Curettage (I&C)
Removal of a meibomian gland cyst (chalazion) under local anaesthesia. A minor procedure that resolves the lump completely in most cases.
✂️
Lid Mass Removal
Excision of benign or suspicious lesions from the eyelid margins, with careful reconstruction to preserve lid function and appearance.
💧
DCR for Blocked Tear Ducts
Dacryocystorhinostomy creates a new drainage pathway from the tear sac to the nasal cavity. Available as conventional (external) DCR, DCR with intubation, or Endoscopic DCR for a scar-free approach.
