Advanced Dry Eye Treatments


We offer a range of advanced treatments tailored to address the causes of your dry eye symptoms:

  • IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy: This non-invasive treatment reduces inflammation and stimulates the glands in your eyelids to improve tear production.
  • MiBo ThermoFlow: A therapeutic device that uses heat and massage to unclog blocked meibomian glands, enhancing the quality of your tears.
  • Amniotic Membranes: A cutting-edge treatment that promotes healing and reduces inflammation, particularly effective for severe dry eye cases.
  • Punctal Plugs: Tiny inserts are placed in the tear ducts to prevent tears from draining away too quickly, helping to keep your eyes moist.
  • Prescription Eye Drops: Medications that help increase tear production or reduce inflammation.

Personalized Dry Eye Management


Every patient is unique, and so is our approach to dry eye treatment. Our comprehensive evaluation process includes:

  • Detailed Medical History: Understanding your overall health and lifestyle to identify potential underlying causes of dry eye.
  • Tear Film Analysis: Assessing the quality and quantity of your tears to determine the most effective treatment.
  • Meibomian Gland Evaluation: Checking the function of the oil glands in your eyelids, which play a crucial role in tear stability.
