What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye happens when your tears don’t lubricate properly - either from poor tear quality (meibomian gland dysfunction/evaporative dry eye) or not enough tears (aqueous deficiency). Symptoms include burning, grittiness, watering, light sensitivity, fluctuating vision, and contact lens discomfort. Left untreated, it can affect day-to-day comfort and clarity.

Dry Eye Treatment
If your eyes burn, water, or feel gritty, you may have dry eye. We measure tear film quality and gland function to pinpoint the cause, then build a plan, from at-home hygiene and prescription drops to in-clinic therapies when needed.
How We Help
We start with a focused assessment to identify the cause, then build a stepwise plan. Treatments may include:
At-home care
-
Warm compresses & lid hygiene (to clear oil glands)
-
Preservative-free lubricating drops/gel
-
Omega-3 & lifestyle guidance (screens, environment)
Prescription therapies
-
Anti-inflammatory eye drops (as indicated)
-
Short courses of medicated ointments or drops for blepharitis/allergy
-
Autologous serum or specialty options (case-by-case)
In-clinic procedures
-
Meibomian gland expression (thermal/manual)
-
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) / Radiofrequency (RF) for MGD (if offered)
-
Punctal plugs to conserve tears
-
Amniotic membrane / bandage lenses (selected cases)
Contact lens solutions
-
Scleral or specialty lenses for severe dryness/contact lens intolerance
Expect a personalized plan with measurable milestones (comfort, vision stability, gland function) and follow-ups to fine-tune results.
