Red Eye Clinic

At our Red Eye Clinic, we provide comprehensive care for patients experiencing red eye symptoms. Our dedicated team of optometrists are here to diagnose, treat, and manage various conditions that cause red eyes, ensuring you receive the best possible care.

In addition to the standard tests, we perform a detailed examination using a slit lamp to identify the cause of redness, such as infection, allergic eye disease, viral eye disease, inflammation, or injury. We can then provide appropriate treatment and recommendations.

Allergies - Seasonal allergies or reactions to substances like pollen, dust, or pet dander.
Infections - Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections such as conjunctivitis or keratitis.
Contact Lens Use - Poor hygiene or overuse of contact lenses.
Environmental Factors - Exposure to smoke, chemicals, or pollutants.
Eye Injuries - Scratches, foreign bodies, or trauma to the eye.
Systemic Diseases - Conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.
