Providing Dry Eye Treatment Plans on The Central Coast
Helping to Relieve Dry, Irritated Eyes
At Central Coast Eyecare in Gosford, Erina, Budgewoi and Killarney Vale, we are dedicated to providing effective solutions for dry, irritated eyes. Dry eye occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tear quality is insufficient to keep the eyes properly lubricated. This can lead to symptoms such as itching, burning, redness, grittiness and general eye irritation.
Our approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying causes and severity of your dry eye condition. Using advanced diagnostic technology, our optometrists can identify specific issues and tailor treatment plans to your individual needs.
Treatment Options:
· Bruder Moist Heat Eye Compress: Utilising patented MediBeads technology, this compress delivers therapeutic moist heat that hydrates the eyes and stimulates tear production. By applying consistent heat, the mask effectively warms the eyelids, promoting the natural function of the Meibomian glands, which are crucial for tear film stability. The compress is microwave activated, washable and reusable, offering a natural and non-invasive way to alleviate dry eye symptoms Bruder.
· ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment): ZEST is an in-office treatment that involves applying a natural okra based gel to the eyelid margin and lashes. This gel is gently massaged to exfoliate dead cells, debris and biofilms, which can contribute to inflammation and irritation caused by conditions like blepharitis or demodex mites. The procedure is painless and has been shown to provide relief from dry eye symptoms, improving tolerance for contact lens wear and overall eye comfort Horizon Eye.
· Prescription Eye Drops and Therapies: Depending on the severity of your condition, our optometrists may recommend prescription eye drops or other therapies to alleviate symptoms and improve overall eye comfort.
If you're experiencing dry eye symptoms, we invite you to schedule an appointment to explore how our dry eye services can help you find relief and maintain optimal eye comfort.
