What is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry Eye Disease is a condition that affects the eye’s tear glands, leading to red, itchy, and uncomfortable eyes. It occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leaving the surface of the eye dry and irritated. This lack of moisture can cause a range of symptoms and, if left untreated, can impact your overall eye health and comfort. For more information on symptoms, causes and treatment, visit our FAQs page.
Dry Eye Disease is a chronic inflammatory condition that, if left untreated, will only worsen over time. Eye drops may offer temporary relief, but they do not address the underlying cause. At Dry Eye Solution, we focus on targeting the root cause—inflammation—through a tailored, multi-faceted approach. Each treatment plan is personalised to your unique needs, incorporating advanced techniques such as Lumenis OptiLight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), the only IPL with FDA approval and TGA listing for Dry Eye management.
Our comprehensive care doesn’t stop there. We address all aspects of your health, including diet and gut health, stress management, skin analysis, lid care and skin care, ensuring that every factor contributing to your condition is considered. Our dedicated team, including renowned specialist Dr. Toyos, is ready to guide you on your journey to wellness. While there is currently no cure for Dry Eye Disease, your symptoms can be significantly improved, maintained, and managed. We believe it is possible to live symptom-free, and we are committed to helping you achieve lasting relief.
IPL is a non-invasive and gentle treatment designed to target the areas around the eyes, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. The procedure is carefully administered, with most patients experiencing only a mild tingling sensation. Rest assured, IPL does not involve direct treatment over the eye itself, making it a safe and effective option for addressing Dry Eye Disease symptoms. There is no down time.
In addition to alleviating Dry Eye Disease symptoms, IPL also offers benefits for your skin. The treatment helps reduce redness, improve skin texture, and can even address fine lines and pigmentation issues around the eyes. This dual-action approach not only soothes your eyes but also enhances the overall appearance of your skin, leaving you with a refreshed and rejuvenated look.

Dry Eye causes significant discomfort
In Australia alone, it is estimated that over 4 million people suffer from Dry Eye Disease and this number is on the rise.
If left untreated, symptoms and discomfort can worsen with damaging results to the eyeball.
Dry Eye Disease requires a multifaceted approach for effective management and relief. While IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a powerful tool in addressing the underlying causes of Dry Eye Disease, it is only one part of a comprehensive treatment plan. To achieve the best results, IPL must be combined with other therapies, including dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, environmental modifications, supplements, and specialised eye care practices. This holistic approach ensures that all contributing factors are addressed, leading to more sustainable and long-lasting relief from Dry Eye symptoms.
