What is Dry eye?

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly. It can cause discomfort and affect your vision. Common symptoms of dry eye include:

• Dryness or grittiness in the eyes

• Redness or irritation

• Blurry or fluctuating vision

• Sensitivity to light

• A feeling of something in the eye

• Watery eyes (as a response to irritation)

Dry eye can be caused by aging, medications, environmental factors, or other health conditions. Our team is here to identify the cause and recommend the best treatment for you.

Advanced dry eye therapies

Our treatments are designed to be as relaxing as they are effective, offering a therapeutic experience that improves both your eye comfort and the appearance of your eyes. Here are the advanced treatments we offer:

1. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy - Imagine a soothing light treatment that melts away the discomfort of dry eye while improving the appearance of the delicate skin around your eyes. IPL uses gentle pulses of light to target the meibomian glands, helping to clear blockages and restore normal tear production. This non-invasive treatment not only relieves dryness but can also reduce redness, puffiness, and dark circles, giving your eyes a refreshed revitalized look.

2. Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) - Low-Level Light Therapy is a relaxing treatment that uses gentle light energy to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation. LLLT improves the function of the meibomian glands, promoting better tear production while soothing irritated skin. This calming therapy helps reduce redness, restore moisture, and leaves your eyes feeling comfortable and rejuvenated, just like a spa experience for your eyes.

3. Amniotic Membranes - This treatment involves placing a thin layer of amniotic tissue over the eye’s surface to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and restore the ocular surface. Amniotic membranes have natural anti-inflammatory properties, making this treatment perfect for calming irritated eyes while promoting long-lasting comfort. This healing treatment provides soothing relief while improving the appearance of your eyes, giving them a refreshed, healthy glow.

4. Blepharoexfoliation - This gentle procedure exfoliates the eyelid margins to remove debris and improve the function of the meibomian glands. Blepharoexfoliation is a simple, effective way to cleanse the eyelid and reduce the symptoms of dry eye, while also improving the skin’s appearance around your eyes. This treatment can reduce puffiness and redness, leaving the skin around your eyes feeling smooth, fresh, and rejuvenated.
