Are your Dry Eyes properly treated ?
Truth be told
Drops alone do not cure dry eyes
Why lubricating eye drops are not good enough?
Because dry eyes is not due to a lack of tears.
It is a problem with the quality of the tears you are producing.
Dry eyes is largely due to Meibomitis and Blepharitis.
We need to get you to produce good quality tears with a healthy lipid layer
What is meibomitis?
The tear film contains water and oil which is produced by the meibomian glands. Good oil works as a water proof layer so that the water in your tears does not evaporate. When the eyes are dry, we compensate by making more water and oil. This leads to over production of oil which changes in consistency from liquid oil to like white heads. This leads to blocked oil glands also called meibomitis or marginal gland disease. If left untreated, it leads to styes!
Meibomitis Treatment

Tixel®
Tixel has been used for wrinkle and acne and now it is used for improving oil quality of the tear film .Thermo-Mechanical Ablation TMA® – a non-laser treatment using heat.
Eye drops do not cure dry eyes
Blepharitis is a another big cause of dry eyes.
Eye drops do not cure blepharitis
Blepharitis Treatment
We know that Lasik causes dry eyes and we see lots of patients with Post-Lasik Dry Eyes.
I would treat the meibomitis and blepharitis first before embarking on other treatments like punctal plugs.

Kirsten Thrum. After suffering from dry eyes for far too long and without improvement with eye drops, I attended the Eye Clinic by Dr Cheryl for assessment. The treatment Dr Cheryl suggested has worked wonders. No more dry eyes and no more strained eyes. The treatment is painless and relaxing. My only regret is that I waited so long to see the professional and personable Dr Cheryl and her amazing staff.

Simon Cheng. 6 months ago I found Dr Cheryl on Google 5 mths ago as I badly needed a good doctor to take care of my dry eye issues which was really affecting my daily life and my work. I am glad I made the right decision in engaging Dr Cheryl's service. Both she and her entire team are super professional. No hard sell, she asked all the right qns and did the necessary tests to pin point the cause my issues, provided me with all the facts and options, and ordered the required treatments which turned out to be very effective. Thank you Dr Cheryl and team!

Willy Chandra. 5 months ago I have rather severe dry eyes condition and situation did not improve despite went with eye drop treatment for 1 year and was told there was nothing other than eye drops that can cure this. When i consult with Dr Cheryl Lee , she takes time to explain my condition comprehensively and i went for eye light treatment. My dry eyes condition improved a lot just after 2nd session and back to normal thanks to Dr Cheryl Lee expertise.

Florence Seow. After suffering from dry eyes for over a year, which increasingly affected my vision, and after consulting several doctors to no avail, I came to Dr Cheryl Lee. Dr Cheryl Lee is highly professional. Within the first few minutes of the initial consultation, she had identified the root cause of my dry eyes, and recommended several (very effective) treatments. My dry eyes improved significantly after and has only continued to do so. Dr Cheryl Lee is also extremely transparent. I remember thinking that these treatments were lifelong. However, Dr Cheryl Lee quickly informed me that all I needed was 2-3 treatments. There was no hard sell. Dr Cheryl Lee and her team are also super approachable. For example, during a subsequent consultation, I mentioned that my left eye was still suffering dryness although my right eye was great. Previous doctors shook me off, insisting that all I needed were eye drops and eye lid wipes, but Dr Cheryl Lee and her team listened and were persistent in their efforts to resolve this mystery. My dry eyes have now improved and I only return for check ups, such as lid cleansing or a treatment, if and when appropriate. I’ve never written a Google review but my experience with The Eye Clinic definitely warrants one. I am so impressed with the service and mostly importantly, the results. For anyone suffering from dry eyes, I definitely recommend The Eye Clinic!
