What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye is a condition where your eyes do not produce enough tears or the right quality of tears to keep your eyes comfortable. This leads to symptoms like irritation, redness, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including aging, environmental conditions, prolonged screen use, and underlying health issues.
If you’re struggling with persistent dry eye symptoms, it’s essential to get the right diagnosis and treatment. Our advanced treatments are designed to address both the symptoms and causes of your dry eye, improving your comfort and quality of life.
Our Advanced Dry Eye Treatment Options
We provide a wide range of advanced dry eye treatments that are tailored to your unique needs. Our expert team uses the latest technologies to deliver effective, long-lasting results.
1. Thermal Pulsation Therapy (Lipiflow)
Lipiflow is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that targets meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), one of the leading causes of dry eye. The procedure uses gentle heat and pulsation to clear blockages in the glands that produce the oily layer of your tears, helping to restore natural tear production and reduce evaporation. Lipiflow is a fast, comfortable procedure with minimal downtime, delivering lasting relief.
2. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
IPL therapy is an advanced treatment that uses controlled pulses of light to target inflammation and improve meibomian gland function. This treatment is especially effective for those suffering from dry eye caused by MGD. IPL helps to unclog the oil-producing glands, reduce inflammation, and improve the quality of your tears, providing long-lasting relief.
3. Punctal Plugs
For those with moderate to severe dry eye, punctal plugs may be a highly effective option. These small devices are inserted into the tear ducts to block tear drainage, helping your eyes retain moisture for longer. Punctal plugs are safe, minimally invasive, and provide relief by increasing tear film stability.
4. Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are specialty contact lenses designed to create a protective layer over the cornea, keeping your eyes moist and comfortable. These lenses are ideal for people with severe dry eye, especially those who struggle with traditional contact lenses. Scleral lenses provide an extra barrier to keep your eyes hydrated throughout the day.
5. Prescription Medications & Artificial Tears
If your dry eye symptoms are caused by inflammation, we may recommend prescription eye drops like Restasis or Xiidra, which help reduce inflammation and improve tear production. We also offer specialized artificial tears for both short-term and long-term use, providing immediate moisture and protection for your eyes.
6. Amniotic Membrane Therapy
For patients with advanced dry eye or damage to the cornea, amniotic membrane therapy may be an option. This innovative treatment uses a natural membrane to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and restore the health of your corneal tissue. Amniotic membrane therapy can be especially beneficial for those with severe dry eye or complications caused by other treatments.
7. At-Home Management and Lifestyle Tips
In addition to our in-office treatments, we offer personalized recommendations for managing dry eye at home, including:
-
Regular use of warm compresses: To unclog meibomian glands and improve oil production.
-
Hydration tips: Drinking plenty of water to help maintain tear production.
-
Environmental adjustments: Using humidifiers, avoiding smoke, and reducing screen time to minimize irritation.
-
