Time and time again dry eye symptoms are the primary reason for people attending a sight test and yet advice and management of the condition is often glossed over at the end. Largely due to time constraints, dry eyes are forgotten about and over time neglected leaving the customer with a feeling of “nothing can be done so just put up with it”.

But it does not have to be that way, dry eye and inflammation of the eyelids commonly known as Blepharitis are most definitely treatable conditions. Our founders who themselves are Blepharitis sufferers researched the treatments and found that these specialist treatments had been scientifically proven to work abroad.

When problems have been ignored the glands in your eyelids can become chronically blocked and if not caught early enough, they will start to die. This is known as meibomian gland dysfunction or MGD. Once a gland is dead there is no treatment however each eye has around 50-70 glands and the earlier the treatment starts the more glands can be saved. Some limited research has found that gland death is reversible but with very small sample numbers which makes us a little sceptical!
