What is Dry Eyes?
Dry eye–related discomfort is common in today’s screen-heavy, air-conditioned lifestyle. It occurs when the tear film does not function optimally, leading to irritation, visual fatigue, and fluctuating comfort that can affect daily activities.
At Réspa – Optometry & Dry Eye Wellness Centre, we provide optometrist-led dry eye assessment and personalised eye comfort care, helping individuals better understand their eye condition and support long-term comfort.
Common Symptoms of Dry Eye
Dry eye can present differently for each person. Symptoms may include:
- Red, irritated, or tired-looking eyes
- Burning, stinging, or gritty sensations
- Itchiness or the feeling of something in the eye
- Light sensitivity
- Fluctuating or temporary blurred vision
- Watery eyes (often linked to dryness)
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye symptoms often result from multiple factors, such as:
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
- Eyelid inflammation or allergies
- Hormonal changes or certain medications
- Reduced tear production
- Environmental irritation and prolonged screen use
Our Approach at Réspa
Every visit begins with a structured optometric assessment to identify factors affecting eye comfort. Based on individual needs, we offer personalised dry eye management plans that may include education, home-care guidance, and supportive in-office eye wellness procedures aimed at relieving discomfort and improving daily eye comfort.
Services are provided within the scope of optometric practice and do not replace medical diagnosis or treatment by a medical practitioner.
