What’s Included in Dry Eye Treatment?
✅ Tear-Film Break-Up Time Test – Measure how quickly your tears evaporate to assess tear stability and identify evaporative dry eye.
✅ Schirmer’s Test – Check your tear production levels by placing a small, gentle strip under the lower eyelid.
✅ Ocular Surface Staining – Use safe dyes to highlight areas of corneal and conjunctival damage caused by dryness.
✅ Meibomian Gland Evaluation – Examine the oil glands along your eyelids to identify blockages or gland dysfunction that worsen dry eye.
✅ Tear Osmolarity Measurement – Analyze the salt concentration in your tears to determine the severity of dry eye.
✅ Personalized Home-Care Plan – Provide preservative-free lubricating drops, warm-compress routines, and lid-hygiene kits tailored to your needs.
✅ In-Clinic Procedures (if needed) – Offer punctal plugs, meibomian-gland expression, or low-level light therapy to improve tear quality and reduce evaporation.
✅ Nutritional & Lifestyle Counseling – Recommend appropriate Omega-3 supplements and screen-time strategies to help manage symptoms.
All assessments and treatments are performed using advanced NIDEK & Zeiss-class equipment by trained ocular-surface technicians and reviewed by our dry-eye specialists to ensure precise, effective care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common signs that I have dry eye syndrome?
Persistent burning, grittiness, redness, fluctuating vision, and excessive tearing (a reflex to dryness) are key indicators. If these symptoms last more than a few days, visit Dr Row’s Eye Centre, Hyderabad, for a detailed evaluation before the ocular surface is damaged.
What causes dry eye?
Common causes include spending a lot of time on screens, air conditioning or fans, allergies, certain medicines, or simply getting older. Sometimes wearing contact lenses or being in a dusty environment can also make dry eye worse.
How do you treat dry eye?
Treatments vary depending on what’s causing your dry eye. A few common steps are:
Using lubricating eye drops (artificial tears)
Applying a warm compress to your eyelids to loosen any clogged glands
Taking breaks when using screens (follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds)
In some cases, your doctor may suggest tiny plugs placed in the tear ducts to help keep tears on the surface longer.
How quickly will I feel better?
Many people notice relief within 1–2 weeks of using eye drops and doing simple lid-care routines. If you need extra treatments—like plugs or special light therapy—you might see more improvement in 2–4 weeks.
Do I need an appointment, and what should I bring?
No need to book online. You can walk in any time Monday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m., or call 040 2763 1010 to hold a slot. When you come in, bring:
Your current glasses or contact-lens prescription
Any past eye test reports
A list of medicines you’re taking
