Specsavers in Galashiels has launched a new scheme, designed to improve comfort for those living with the increasingly common condition. The 10 to 20-minute treatment helps clear biofilm, debris, and mites that block vital oil glands, providing immediate, soothing relief. Stuart Forrester, optometrist director at Specsavers Galashiels, said: "Many people assume dry eyes are simply something they must live with, but untreated dry eye can significantly impact quality of life, comfort and even vision. Dry eye symptoms often include sore, irritated or itchy eyes, redness, water eyes and blurred vision. "In some cases, symptoms of dry eye can also overlap with other eye conditions, so a professional assessment helps ensure patients receive the correct care and advice.
