Cornea & Dry Eye Clinic
Relief and treatment for irritation, infection and corneal disease, with a dedicated focus on lasting dry-eye comfort.
A closer look at your care.
The cornea is the clear front window of the eye, and even small problems with it can cause significant discomfort and blurred vision. We diagnose and treat the full range of corneal conditions, from infections and abrasions to longer-term diseases such as keratoconus and corneal degeneration.
Dry eye is one of the most common and under-treated complaints we see, especially with long screen hours and air-conditioning. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all drops, we identify why your eyes are dry and build a treatment plan that gives real, lasting relief.

Questions, answered.
Reflex watering is the eye's response to irritation from a poor tear film. Treating the underlying dryness usually settles both the grittiness and the excess watering.
Sometimes, but not always. Persistent dry eye often needs the cause addressed, such as lid care, treating inflammation or changing habits, for relief that lasts.
Keratoconus is a progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea that distorts vision. Early detection allows monitoring and treatments that can slow or stabilise it.
