Through innovative solutions like iLux®, punctal plugs, and dry eye kits, we can help you find relief! Schedule your appointment today.
Book AppointmentMGD & Dry Eyes
Dry eye can occur when something goes wrong with your tear production process or the glands that produce these elements become inflamed. Your tears are made up of 3 layers:
- The oily outer layer
- The watery middle layer
- The inner mucus layer
Inflammation can also cause meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). MGD can reduce oil production, causing the water layer to evaporate and accelerating dryness.
iLux® & Other Dry Eye Solutions
We offer different dry eye treatments, from the innovative iLux® device to dry eye kits that can help you find relief.
iLux®
iLux® is an innovative treatment method for dry eyes. iLux® uses light-based heat that warms blocked glands to a safe temperature to help soften and release oils and express meibomian (oil) glands in MGD. It addresses the blockage and stasis of oil within the meibomian glands, helping restore their function.
iLux® is safe and effective and can help our patients get their comfort back from dry eyes!
Punctal Plugs
Punctal plugs help manage dry eyes when your tears are draining from your eyes too quickly. Punctal plugs are tiny devices that are placed into your tear ducts to slow down how fast tears leave the surface of your eyes.
Punctal plugs typically come in temporary or dissolving and semi-permanent types.
Dry Eye Kits
Our dry eye kits include eye drops, vitamins, and lid wipes to help relieve dry eye symptoms. Our team can determine what treatment methods are ideal for your dry eye symptoms through a comprehensive eye exam.
Rehydrate Your Eyes
Dry eye can be a challenging eye condition to manage, and our team wants to help you keep dry eye symptoms and discomfort at bay. Through iLux® and other treatment solutions, we want to help you regain comfort and rehydrate your eyes.
