Dry Eye Clinic

Burning, gritty, tired or paradoxically watery eyes are rarely 'just stress'. Dry eye disease is a real, measurable and very treatable condition.

We identify which type of dry eye you have — reduced tear production, poor tear quality or eyelid gland dysfunction — because the treatment for each is different.

Common causes

  • Meibomian gland dysfunction

    Blocked oil glands in the eyelids destabilise the tear film.

  • Screen and air-conditioning exposure

    Reduced blink rate and dry air accelerate evaporation.

  • Harmattan and dust

    Abuja's dry season significantly worsens symptoms for most sufferers.

  • Medication & systemic disease

    Antihistamines, some antihypertensives, thyroid and autoimmune disease.

  • Contact lens wear

    Long hours of wear and poor lens hygiene disrupt the ocular surface.

Diagnosis

  • Tear film assessment

    Tear break-up time and volume to quantify severity.

  • Lid margin evaluation

    Detailed slit lamp assessment of the oil glands and lash line.

  • Ocular surface staining

    Reveals surface damage that plain examination misses.

Treatment

  • Warm compress therapy

    Structured, correctly timed heat to release blocked oil glands.

  • Steam eye spa

    In-clinic therapeutic steam and lid hygiene for immediate relief.

  • Artificial tears

    Preservative-free lubricants matched to your tear film deficiency.

  • Lifestyle advice

    Blink training, screen setup, hydration and humidity guidance.

  • IPL therapy (coming soon)

    Intense pulsed light for persistent gland dysfunction.
