Dry Eye Exams
After meeting you and learning about your specific symptoms and medical history we will run a dry eye analysis. Following the analysis, we will do a thorough evaluation of your eyes through a comprehensive slit lamp exam. Based on all the data we gather we will then be able to recommend your specific treatment plan.
IPL Treatments
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, and is a light-based technology commonly used in dermatology to treat rosacea / ocular rosacea and to reduce telangiectasia. IPL is now being used to treat meibomian gland dysfunction, dry-eye disease and demodex. During the procedure, a strategic level of light pulses is administered to penetrate the skin under the eye and targets the root cause of the inflammation. IPL treatment helps to liquefy and release hardened oils that have clogged the Meibomian glands in the eyelids. Additionally, as the IPL treatment treats your overall skin appearance, your eyelid inflammation is treated and improved as well. IPL procedures are effective, gentle and safe.

Additional Treatments
TearCare™ for Meibomian Gland Disorders
TearCare™ is a 15-minute in-office procedure designed to address meibomian gland disorders. Utilizing sterile, single-use flexible eyelid devices, they delicately conform to the shape of your eyelids and administer gentle heat.
Eyelid/Blepharitis Cleaning
Blepharitis, the inflammation of the eyelids, is a prevalent issue that can lead to irritation of both the eyelids and eyes. When examined closely, it resembles dandruff along the eyelid edge. Individuals with blepharitis are at a higher risk of eyelash loss. Managing this condition effectively often necessitates professional assistance as self-treatment may not be sufficient.
Punctal Plugs
Punctal plugs are a great choice for retaining tears in the eyes. They function like a sink plug by preventing tears from draining away. These plugs come in both temporary and semi-permanent varieties.
Demodex Treatment
Demodex are microscopic mites that can reside in the hair follicles of humans, particularly in the facial area, including the eyelids. To cleanse your eyelids of these mites, it is recommended to gently wash the eyelids with a mild cleanser or use specific wipes designed for this purpose to help eliminate any Demodex present.
