Dry eye is so common, you are not alone 

We understand how dry eyes can impact your life. Dry eyes can cause constant discomfort and eye pain, which is very mentally draining. Our optometrists take a special interest in dry eye to help make our patients' lives better and more enjoyable.

Many dry eye sufferers have tried so many treatments without success and feel helpless. Heron Eyecare can help. We have the widest range of treatments available in Toowoomba and the experience to treat dry eye properly.

So why is dry eye so hard to treat? One reason is that dry eye is one of the most complicated eye diseases and becoming more common. Dry eye occurs when your tears aren’t normal and dry out too quickly causing damage to the eye surface and discomfort. Commonly this is caused by poor blinking and inflamed eyelids affecting the tear oil layer. This causes tears to dry out faster and standard artificial tear eye drops don’t help.

Heron Eyecare was one of the first optometry practices in Australia to use Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment for dry eye. IPL can help reduce the inflammation of the eye caused by dry eye to improve eye comfort and your quality of life. The treatment is safe and involves a light treatment to the skin below your eyes, which allows a long-term relief from dry eye symptoms. 

The newest dry eye innovation is the Rexon-Eye, which uses a low power but high-frequency electrotherapy treatment. This unique treatment has shown in trials very effective results in improving the symptoms and eye health in all types of dry eye. Heron Eyecare proudly has the first and only Rexon-Eye electrotherapy device in Toowoomba.
