Advanced Dry Eye Therapy

A Comprehensive Approach to Relief and Comfort

Dry eye disease is a common condition where the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly, causing discomfort, redness, blurry vision, and irritation. It can be caused by environmental factors, aging, medications, or underlying health issues.

Managing dry eye requires a personalized treatment plan to address the specific causes and symptoms.

What Is Advanced Dry Eye Therapy?

Advanced dry eye therapy involves a range of diagnostic tests and treatments that go beyond simple artificial tears. These include therapies aimed at restoring the health and function of the tear film and eyelids.

Some key components include:

  • LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation: A device that uses thermal pulsation to clear blocked meibomian glands and improve oil flow

  • Punctal Plugs: Small inserts placed in tear ducts to reduce tear drainage and increase eye moisture

  • Prescription Medications: Such as anti-inflammatory eye drops to reduce irritation and inflammation

  • Lifestyle and Environmental Recommendations: Tailored advice to minimize triggers and improve comfort

Who Is a Candidate?

Anyone experiencing persistent dry eye symptoms despite over-the-counter treatments may benefit from advanced therapy. A thorough evaluation can determine the underlying causes and guide the most effective treatments.

What to Expect

The evaluation includes specialized tests of tear production, eyelid gland function, and ocular surface health. Treatments like LipiFlow typically take about 12 minutes and are performed in-office.

Follow-up care is important to monitor progress and adjust treatments as needed for lasting relief.
