Preparing for your appointment

 

At your appointment we will ask you about the history of your dry eye, your current symptoms and treatment regimen and also about any treatment you have had in the past. We will also ask you about your medical history and what medications you are taking – as many medicines have effects on the eye.

Please bring with you a list of eye drops and ointments that you use and also any medicines that you take. If you wear contact lenses please bring details of your lenses and any solutions that you use to clean them.

On the day of your appointment please try not to use drops or ointments as this will affect some of our measurements and we want to see the true status of your dry eye. If you really can not go without drops, then please continue to use- just let us know!

If you are a contact lens wearer please come wearing your glasses, you may bring lenses with you to wear after the appointment.

You should expect to spend up to an hour and a half at the practice.
