Specialist conditions
Flashes and floaters
Floaters look like small, dark spots or flecks that appear to move around the eye. They are more common if you are myopic (short-sighted) or if you have had eye surgery such as cataract surgery. Flashes look like random flashes of light in the eye, often in an arc shape in your peripheral vision, and more obvious at night or in low light levels. They are usually as a result of the movement of the vitreous jelly which fills the eyeball and is attached to the retina at the back of the eye.
Demodex blepharitis
Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelid margins, the edges of the eyelid, which causes a range of uncomfortable symptoms including, dryness, itching, red skin, red eyes, tired eyes, and blurred vision
Punctum plugs
Anyone who suffers from dry eyes will know just how uncomfortable the condition can be. Symptoms such as burning, gritty, red eyes are common and vision can be reduced in severe cases.
Lacrimal syringing
Lacrimal syringing for excessive tears. The lacrimal gland, within the eyelid, produces tears. Tears are vital for day-to-day lubrication of the eye and to wash away potentially harmful substances or allergens.When natural tear production is disrupted it can cause excessively watery eyes (epiphora)
