Advanced Dry Eye Clinic
A structured, clinically-led approach to treating the root cause of dry eye
Dry eye is not just a lack of tears.
It is a complex condition involving tear film instability, inflammation, and dysfunction of the meibomian glands.
At The Eyesmith, we offer a step-by-step treatment pathway designed to:
Improve tear film stability
Restore gland function
Reduce irritation and visual fluctuation
Deliver long-term relief—not just temporary symptom control

This includes:
Detailed symptom analysis
Slit lamp examination
Meibomian gland imaging (meibography)
Tear film and lipid layer assessment
Inflammatory and tear quality biomarkers
This is an onsite laboratory assesment of Inflammation and Allergy proteins in tear sample
Identification of your dry eye subtype:
