Do you regularly experience dry, burning, stinging or tired eyes? Or do your eyes feel dry while actually watering frequently? Dry eyes are very common and can have various causes, such as frequent screen use, reduced blinking, air conditioning or heating, contact lens wear, or changes in the tear film.

During a Dry Eye Consultation at Ponsioen Optiek, we take the time to investigate what may be causing your symptoms. We assess, among other things, the quality of your tear film, the hydration of your eyes and the condition of the ocular surface.

We discuss your symptoms and daily habits and look at factors that may be affecting your eyes. Based on our findings, we provide personalised advice and discuss which measures or products may help reduce your symptoms. We also advise you which eye drops are best suited to you and your eyes.

When can a Dry Eye Consultation be beneficial?

• Dry or burning eyes
• Stinging or irritated eyes
• Tired eyes
• Red eyes
• A gritty or sandy feeling
• Fluctuating or blurred vision
• Watery eyes
• Reduced comfort when wearing contact lenses

A Dry Eye Consultation can also be helpful if you notice that your eyes mainly cause problems when working at a computer, reading or wearing contact lenses.

Personalised Advice

Dry eyes do not have the same cause for everyone. That is why we believe it is important not only to look at your symptoms, but also to determine what your eyes need. We take the time to perform the examination, discuss the results and provide practical advice tailored to your situation.

If your symptoms persist or we identify anything during the examination that requires further investigation, we may advise you to contact your GP or ophthalmologist.

Costs

The cost of a Dry Eye Consultation is €35.
