Our Process
Thorough, Precise, and Personalized
01
Every great outcome begins with truly understanding the patient. Before any treatment is recommended, our providers take a thorough health history — reviewing your medical background, medications, environmental exposures, screen time habits, contact lens use, hormonal changes, and any previous eye treatments. No detail is too small, because dry eye is a complex, multifactorial condition that requires a full picture to treat effectively.
02
We use state-of-the-art diagnostics to identify precisely what type of dry eye you have and how severe it is. Our key diagnostic tool is Meibography — an advanced imaging technology that allows our providers to visualize the meibomian glands inside your eyelids. These tiny oil-producing glands are responsible for keeping the tear film stable and the eye surface lubricated. When they become blocked, damaged, or begin to atrophy, the result is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) — the leading cause of dry eye disease. By seeing the health of your glands directly, we can target treatment with remarkable precision.
03
Once we have a complete picture of your eye health, we create a customized treatment plan from our full menu of proven therapies — because no two patients are the same, and no single treatment works for everyone.
Treatment Options
Our Dry Eye Treatment Options
Prescription & Nutritional Therapies
For many patients, targeted nutritional support forms the foundation of dry eye management. High-quality Omega-3 fatty acids have been clinically shown to reduce inflammation in the meibomian glands and improve the quality of the tear film's lipid layer. We also offer advanced prescription and therapeutic eye drops — including lubricating drops, anti-inflammatory formulas, and other medical-grade options — to provide immediate relief and long-term protection for the ocular surface.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
IPL is a revolutionary, FDA-cleared treatment that uses precisely calibrated pulses of light to target the root cause of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. IPL reduces the abnormal blood vessels around the eyelid margins that drive chronic inflammation, melts the thickened meibum blocking the glands, and stimulates healthier gland function over time. Patients typically notice significant improvement in comfort, tear stability, and overall eye health after a series of treatments, with results that are both lasting and cumulative.
TearCare®
TearCare is an innovative, wearable eyelid heating system that delivers precisely controlled, localized warmth directly to the meibomian glands. Unlike traditional warm compresses, TearCare maintains the ideal therapeutic temperature needed to liquefy blocked meibum — allowing your provider to then gently express the glands and restore their natural oil flow. It is a comfortable, in-office procedure that takes approximately 15 minutes and requires no downtime.
iLux®
iLux is a handheld, portable device that simultaneously heats and compresses the eyelids to effectively treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction at the source. By applying gentle, controlled warmth and pressure to both the inner and outer eyelid surfaces, iLux softens and expresses the blocked oils that are disrupting your tear film. It is a quick, precise, and highly effective option for patients with moderate to severe MGD.
Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment
Radiofrequency energy is a cutting-edge option that delivers gentle heat to the periorbital area and eyelid margins, stimulating collagen production, improving gland function, and reducing the inflammation that drives chronic dry eye. RF treatment is non-invasive, comfortable, and carries the added benefit of skin tightening around the eyes — making it a particularly popular choice for patients who want to address both dry eye relief and aesthetic rejuvenation simultaneously.
Benefit

Notice blurry or fluctuating vision, especially during prolonged screen use
Wear contact lenses and find them increasingly uncomfortable
Have been diagnosed with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction or Blepharitis
Are post-menopausal, as hormonal changes significantly affect tear production
Use antihistamines, antidepressants, or other medications that cause dry eye as a side effect
Spend long hours in front of digital screens or in air-conditioned environments
Have previously undergone LASIK or other refractive eye surgery
