Dry eye is a multi-factorial disease, and diagnosis and management can be quite complex. Many people who suffer from 'dry eye' and other eye surface problems are under-treated and the underlying cause can be undiagnosed. 

 

At ALLEVE EYE CLINIC we are all about finding you much better management solutions for your eye symptoms. Too often even mild symptoms can be a struggle to treat and this can lead to a feeling of frustration and defeat in finding comfort from your symptoms.  Our approach is a holistic one - dry eye can be influenced by medications, inflammatory diseases and many other factors - and best management is usually found by trying to address the cause, not just the symptoms.

 

YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION:

Because treatment and management of ‘dry eye’ is such a complex process, we like to see you for an initial consultation which includes a questionnaire on your general health, your symptoms and significant factors that might be contributing to your issues.  From there we can determine if you need a full dry eye workup and management plan, or if there is a shorter course of action that can be taken to help you find relief. Initial consultations are 50 minutes and our fee is $140 ($105 concession). Medicare may offer a rebate depending on your eligibility.

 

Please bring your Medicare card, a list (or actual boxes/bottles) of your current medication, a list of any surgical procedures or medical conditions that you have and the name and address of your GP and any regular optometrist or specialist you are under the care of.  Understanding you, your health and your eyes is a significant step in helping to diagnose and manage your condition correctly.
