What Is Dry Eye Disease and How Is It Diagnosed?

Dry eye disease occurs when the eyes fail to produce sufficient tears, or when the tear film becomes unstable and evaporates too rapidly. The tear film is made up of three essential layers — an oily layer, a watery layer and a mucous layer — and when any of these components are disrupted, symptoms such as redness, grittiness, sensitivity to light and fluctuating vision can follow. Common causes include meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), hormonal changes, prolonged screen use, certain medications and ageing.

At Centre for Sight, we begin with a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to identify the precise cause and severity of your dry eye. Using advanced imaging technology, our specialists examine the tear film, eyelid margins and meibomian glands in detail. This thorough approach ensures that every treatment plan is targeted and evidence-based, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution.

Trusted Dry Eye Treatments Available at Our East Grinstead Clinic

For patients whose symptoms are driven by meibomian gland dysfunction or evaporative dry eye, Centre for Sight offers two of the most clinically respected in-clinic therapies available: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy and Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT). IPL uses targeted light pulses around the eyelids to reduce inflammation and restore healthier gland function, while LLLT uses gentle LED warmth to soften and unblock the oil glands that stabilise the tear film. Both are non-invasive, comfortable procedures and are available from £341 per eye.

Where appropriate, our team may also recommend therapeutic Omega-3 supplementation to support tear film quality over the longer term. Because dry eye rarely has a single cause, many patients benefit from a combined approach — and our consultants are experienced in designing integrated treatment plans that deliver meaningful, lasting improvement.

Every plan is overseen by the same specialist from initial assessment through to follow-up, ensuring continuity of care throughout.
