Sheffield Optometrist extends services with Dry Eye treatment

Alex Gage, who owns practices in Crosspool and Woodseats, estimates that he is seeing 10% more patients with Dry Eye than this time last year. Alex explains: “If you have Dry Eye, your eyes may not be making enough tears, the tears being produced are of poor quality, or the tears that are produced evaporate away or spill over onto your cheek; all of which can cause a gritty, burning sensation and can also disturb vision.” Dry Eye can be caused by a wide variety of everyday factors including ageing, pollution, dry environments, hormonal changes and computer use.
