Dry Eye Treatment In Queensbury
At Glens Falls Vision Care, we understand how uncomfortable and disruptive dry eye syndrome can be. Our specialized dry eye treatments are designed to alleviate symptoms and improve eye health using the latest, most effective techniques and technologies.



What is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or produce poor-quality tears. This condition can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Irritation and Redness
- Burning or Stinging Sensations
- Excessive Tearing
- Blurry Vision
- A Gritty or Sandy Feeling


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.
