Our Treatments

In-office procedures will directly target the source of inflammation and provide long lasting relief from dry eye.

Lipiflow

Designed to minimize patient discomfort, Lipiflow is the only FDA approved treatment for MGD. This treatment utilizes thermal heat and massages the inner eyelids to remove obstructions from the meibomian glands. This in office procedure improves gland function and prevent further atrophy and damage to the meibomian glands

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive and non-laser treatment for rosacea, dry eye, and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction that uses pulses of light to reduce inflammation, soften gland secretions, and rejuvenate the meibomian glands. IPL treatments help with dry eye, ocular rosacea and blepharitis by targeting the root of inflammation.

Punctal Plugs

Used to treat Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye, punctal plugs are small silicone plugs that are inserted into the puncta increasing the tear volume in the eye.

Amniotic Membranes

This membrane is placed on the surface of your eye, much like a contact lens. This allows the healing and growth factors found in the tissue to reduce scar formation and promote healing.

Very friendly and professional service from the receptionist and doctor, and there was not much of a wait at all! What I liked most was how the optometrist was so informative and very down to earth. It made for an enjoyable exam!
