Patients receive a written report with clinical findings and personalised recommendations for vision correction or further treatment.

Treatment plans may include lid hygiene routines, artificial tear recommendations, and IPL therapy for chronic cases. Our optometrists provide ongoing management strategies to improve ocular surface health and reduce discomfort.
