Home » About Us
At Dry Eye WA, our journey began with a research paper on the signs and symptoms of dry eye, written by our founder, Marilyn Stern, during her final year of a Bachelor of Optometry degree. That early interest sparked a lifelong commitment to understanding and treating dry eye, which at the time, in 1982, was managed only with basic tear replacement drops. Over the years, advances in knowledge and technology have shaped our approach. From the discovery that heat and eyelid massage can ease irritation to the release of the 2007 DEWS report uncovering the root causes of dry eye, we’ve evolved with the science to offer more than just temporary relief.
Dry Eye WA is Perth’s first clinic dedicated exclusively to the treatment of dry eye. Led by Marilyn Stern, an experienced optometrist who has been practicing since 1983, our clinic focuses on treating the source of evaporative dry eye using innovative therapies like IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and heat-based treatments. Marilyn’s decades of work in private and corporate practice across Western Australia, along with her role as Newman’s first FIFO optometrist, reflect her deep commitment to eye health. At Dry Eye WA, we’re passionate about delivering long-lasting, effective solutions tailored to each individual’s needs.
Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the latest technologies designed to deliver targeted, effective relief for a wide range of dry eye conditions. We understand how persistent discomfort, blurry vision, and irritation can affect your daily life, and we’re here to offer real, lasting solutions tailored to your specific needs.
At Dry Eye WA, we proudly offer a comprehensive suite of advanced treatments, including Blephasteam & Blephex for lid hygiene, IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) to reduce inflammation, and the revolutionary RexonEye Treatment for long-term cellular repair. Our precision diagnostic tool, the Antares Eye, allows us to map the ocular surface with incredible accuracy, ensuring every treatment is perfectly calibrated. We also provide My Mask LLLT (Low-Level Light Therapy) and Moisture Chamber Frames to support recovery and maintain comfort between treatments.
