Our Solutions For Your Dry Eye
Featured Services
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Lumenis invented the first and only technology to treat individuals for dry eye disease caused by MGD. Not only is it approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but also patented. Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) makes it easier to successfully manage this particular eye disease. Overall, OptiLight is safe, precise, comfortable, and effective.
Thermal Gland Expression
Thermal Gland Expression is a revolutionary treatment option for dry eye that offers long-lasting relief. It utilizes controlled heat therapy to target the meibomian glands and improve their functioning. The treatment involves the use of a handheld device that gently warms the eyelids, melting the hardened oils and allowing them to flow more freely. This helps to restore the natural balance of tears and alleviate dry eye symptoms.
Low Level Light Therapy
Low Level Light Treatment (LLLT) is a non-invasive therapy that provides relief for dry eye. LLLT uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity and reduce inflammation in the eyes. This can help to improve the function of the meibomian glands and reduce the symptoms associated with dry eye.
Lid & Lash Cleaning
Maintaining proper eyelid hygiene is essential for overall eye health. Regularly cleaning your eyelids helps remove debris, bacteria, and excess oil, preventing infections and inflammation. It also promotes the proper functioning of the meibomian glands, ensuring an adequate supply of tears to keep your eyes moisturized.
Amniotic Membranes
Amniotic membranes are derived from the innermost layer of the placenta and are carefully processed for medical use. Amniotic membranes are used to support regeneration of the corneal surface.
Radio Frequency
This treatment uses a radiofrequency that gently and safely heats the skin for a specific amount of time. The body naturally reacts by producing new collagen. Because the new fibers are tighter and denser, they fill in voids in the form of lines, wrinkles, and cellulite. It also diminishes bagginess associated with dry eye disease from MGD.
Meibomian Gland Analysis & Imaging
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a common contributor to dry eye. The meibomian glands, located along the eyelid margins, produce an oily substance that helps prevent tears from evaporating too quickly.
