Tear Clinic

Your tears play a vital role in protecting the surface of the eye (ocular surface), keeping it comfortable and your vision clear. A number of conditions affect the quality and quantity of our tears. These conditions lead to symptoms ranging from mild irritation to severe pain, all of which can impact on our daily life. Managing these symptoms hinges on the correct diagnosis which is where our expert optometrists, supported by the latest technology, can help.
Our team has unrivalled experience in treating dry eye, as well as specialist qualifications, with patients travelling from across Scotland and beyond to access their expertise. We also have specialist equipment such as low-level light therapy which has yielded impressive results.
