Our Dry Eye Clinic
Often people think that dry eyes are due to external irritants, however, this isn’t always the case. Dry eyes can occur by your eyes not producing enough tears, or that your tear quality isn’t good enough. This can be for several reasons, such as hormonal changes, ageing or even side effects of medications. All Dipple & Conway clients can benefit from access to our Dry Eye Clinic by booking a Tear Film Assessment. During the assessment, we use the latest breakthrough technology, including the Tearlab Osmolarity Test to aid diagnosis.
Using a very small sample of tears from each eye, the Tearlab gives objective results immediately, and meaningful measurement of the health and stability of the tear film.

Having being very particular about making sure my optical diagnosis was correct, but being very budget conscious , I decided to explore the options available to me and arranged consultations with the national high street market. This I did to gather information. It was a worthwhile exercise to assure me that the service I received at Dipple and Conway was, not only very thorough and informative, but also I was given a wide range of options to suit my current budget. As a result I will continue to consult with Dipple and Conway with the assurance of an excellent service and value for money. Thank you. Craig![Michael Gilbert]()
