Dry Eye Group
The Dry Eye Group was established by a team of optometrists who aimed to treat dry eye syndrome within Melbourne.
We know that dry eyes can be uncomfortable and even debilitating. We have the technology and experience to assess, monitor and treat the symptoms as well as the causes of dry eye syndrome.
A Tailored Approach
At The Dry Eye Group we tailor a dry eye treatment plan to suit your individual needs. No two cases of dry eyes are the same. We frequently see patients whose symptoms range from minor irritation, to seasonal dryness, and sometimes debilitating dry eyes due to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
Our goal is to first assess the causes of your dry eyes, to quantify the extent of your dry eyes and to create your dry eye treatment action plan. We utilise the latest technology and treatments to ensure you get results and find relief as quickly as possible, for as long term as possible.
We work with our patients to educate them on the causes of their dry eyes and help them control their symptoms with preventative and lifestyle changes.
