Dry Eye Treatments
Effective dry eye treatment begins with understanding the root cause. Because no two patients experience dry eye the same way, we create personalized treatment plans based on the underlying causes of your symptoms rather than simply recommending artificial tears.
Whether your dry eye is caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), inflammation, blepharitis, Demodex mites, incomplete blinking, environmental factors, medications, or systemic health conditions, our goal is to restore the health of your tear film and ocular surface while improving your long-term comfort and vision.
Your customized treatment plan may include:
NuLids® Micro-Exfoliation
NuLids is an in-office micro-exfoliation treatment designed to gently remove debris, biofilm, bacteria, and inflammatory buildup along the eyelid margins. Regular lid hygiene helps improve meibomian gland function and supports a healthier tear film.
Prescription Eye Drops & Pharmaceuticals
For patients with inflammatory dry eye or chronic ocular surface disease, prescription medications may help improve tear production, reduce inflammation, and restore long-term ocular surface health. We tailor pharmaceutical therapy based on your diagnosis and treatment goals.
Over-the-Counter Therapies
Not all artificial tears are created equal. We recommend premium over-the-counter therapies based on your specific type of dry eye, including preservative-free lubricating drops, gels, ointments, lid cleansers, hypochlorous sprays, heat masks, and eyelid hygiene products that support long-term ocular comfort.
Thermal Therapy
Warm compresses and therapeutic heat treatments help soften and release thickened oils trapped within the meibomian glands. Improving the quality of these natural oils helps stabilize the tear film and reduce evaporation, one of the leading causes of dry eye disease.
Demodex Diagnosis & Treatment
Microscopic Demodex mites commonly live along the eyelashes and are a frequent yet often overlooked cause of chronic irritation, blepharitis, itching, and inflammation. We evaluate for Demodex during your examination and provide targeted treatment recommendations to restore eyelid health.
Ocular Rosacea Management
Rosacea frequently affects the eyes as well as the skin, contributing to meibomian gland dysfunction, inflammation, burning, redness, and fluctuating vision. We develop personalized treatment plans to help control ocular rosacea and improve long-term comfort.
Nutraceuticals & Omega-3 Support Targeted nutritional supplements can help improve the quality of the tear film by supporting healthy meibomian gland function and reducing ocular surface inflammation. We recommend evidence-based nutraceuticals based on your individual needs.
Nutritional & Lifestyle Counseling Your overall health plays an important role in your ocular wellness. Hydration, diet, screen habits, environmental exposures, medications, sleep quality, and systemic health can all influence dry eye disease. We provide practical recommendations that support healthier eyes from the inside out.
Because dry eye disease is often chronic, treatment is rarely one-size-fits-all. Our approach focuses on restoring the health of your ocular surface, improving the quality of your tears, and creating a personalized maintenance plan that helps you enjoy lasting comfort and clearer vision.
