Dry Eye Therapy

What Is Dry Eye?

Dry eye is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort that can interfere with daily activities and reduce overall quality of life. To treat it effectively, doctors first diagnose the specific type of dry eye and then create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs.

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is the most common cause of dry eye and affects the oil layer of the tears. It occurs when the glands in the eyelids become blocked, inflamed, or underactive, leading to poor tear quality and faster tear evaporation.

Dry Eye Evaluation

A dry eye evaluation assesses tear quality and volume, measures how quickly tears evaporate, images the oil glands in the eyelids, evaluates oil flow from the glands, detects inflammation in the eyes, and analyzes how often and how fully you blink.

Treatment Options

Designed to treat the most common cause of dry eye, our treatments improve the release of the oil from the small glands along the rim of our eyelids. The treatments clear away any clogged oil or debris that may be keeping our glands from producing the healthy amount of oil needed to keep our tears from evaporating too quickly and leaving our eyes dry.
​​​​​​
Treatment options include both home and in-office therapies to provide significant results in patients that have suffered chronically from dry eyes. Along with the daily home therapy, we have been able to address dry eye issues rapidly providing significant relief.
