Eye Examination
We specialise in thorough eye examinations with the latest technology for early disease detection, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Irritated, dry eyes are a common condition caused by insufficient tear production or poor-quality tears, leading to significant discomfort. Common causes include environmental factors like wind, smoke, or air conditioning, prolonged screen time, allergies, aging, and medical conditions such as blepharitis or autoimmune disorders like Sjögren’s syndrome. When the eyes lack proper lubrication, they become more vulnerable to irritation and inflammation, exacerbating symptoms.
At Ian Donald Optometrist, we have you covered with our state of art Eye-Light® technology. We treat the symptoms of sore, itchy, and irritated eyes with a quick and painless light therapy that takes 3-4 sessions. Light therapy delivers gentle pulses of light to the skin around the eyes, which helps reduce inflammation, improve the function of meibomian glands, and restore a healthier tear film. The meibomian glands, located along the eyelid margins, produce the oil layer of tears, which prevents excessive evaporation. Dry eye symptoms worsen when these glands become blocked or dysfunctional, as seen in meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). By using light therapy to stimulate circulation, reduce bacterial overgrowth, and open up blocked glands, patients can experience relief from irritation, redness, and the uncomfortable sensation of dryness or burning.
Light therapy offers a non-invasive, well-tolerated solution for those with persistent dry, irritated eyes. Consulting with our eye care specialist can help determine whether light therapy is suitable based on individual symptoms and underlying conditions.
