Comprehensive Dry Eye Diagnostics
Before starting treatment, we perform a thorough evaluation using advanced technology to pinpoint the exact cause of your symptoms. This may include measuring your tear production, assessing tear quality, and examining your eyelids and ocular surface. Understanding whether your dry eye is caused by tear insufficiency, inflammation, or blocked glands allows us to choose the most effective treatment plan.
Eyelid Treatments
Many cases of dry eye are linked to clogged meibomian glands in the eyelids. We offer gentle, in-office eyelid treatments to clear debris, open blocked glands, and improve oil production — helping your tears stay on your eyes longer and reducing irritation.
Heat Treatments
Thermal therapy uses targeted heat to loosen hardened oils and unclog the meibomian glands. This simple, comfortable treatment can be a highly effective first step for many patients struggling with evaporative dry eye.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL therapy treats the inflammation that contributes to dry eye symptoms, especially when linked to ocular rosacea or eyelid inflammation. This treatment delivers gentle pulses of light to the skin around your eyes, reducing inflammation, improving gland function, and restoring tear film stability.
Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT)
Low Level Light Therapy uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to deliver gentle therapeutic energy to the eyelids. This non-invasive treatment improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps restore healthy tear production — without discomfort or downtime.
Amniotic Membrane Therapy
For patients with more advanced dry eye disease, we may recommend amniotic membrane therapy. This biologic treatment promotes healing of the ocular surface, reduces inflammation, and provides long-lasting relief for severe cases of dry eye or corneal damage.
