What is Dry Eye Disease?

Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes either:

• Do not produce enough tears
• Or produce poor-quality tears that evaporate too quickly

Common Symptoms of Dry Eye:

• Burning or stinging
• Redness
• Blurry or fluctuating vision
• Light sensitivity
• Gritty or foreign body sensation

Without proper treatment, dry eye can worsen over time and impact long-term eye health.

Advanced Diagnostics

• Meibography – Imaging of the Meibomian glands
• Tear break-up time – Measuring tear film stability
• Tear osmolarity – Checks salt concentration in your tears

Customized Treatment Options

Your eyes are unique. That’s why we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) for Dry Eye with OptiLight

What it does

IPL is used to help reduce inflammation and improve the function of the meibomian glands, which are essential for maintaining a stable tear film.

• TriLift Full Face – Provides a non-surgical facelift solution that addresses sagging jowls, facial wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven texture.

What to expect

• 4 Treatment sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart
• Short, comfortable in-office sessions
• Typically performed as a series

How often

Commonly completed as a series of treatments spaced about one week apart.

Recovery time

• No downtime
• Immediate return to normal activities

Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)

What it does

LLLT is a non-invasive treatment that may help support gland function and improve dry eye symptoms.

How it works

Specific wavelengths of light are applied to the eyelid area to support cellular activity and improve the environment of the glands.

Key benefits

• Gentle, non-invasive treatment
• May support meibomian gland function
• Can improve comfort for some patients
• Drug-free option

What to expect

• Relaxing, light-based treatment
• Often used as part of a broader treatment plan

How often

Treatment frequency varies depending on your condition and individualized plan.

Recovery time

• No downtime
• Well tolerated by most patients

Meibomian Gland Expression

What it does

This treatment helps clear blocked meibomian oil glands in the eyelids.

How it works

After the glands are warmed, they are gently expressed to release trapped oils and improve tear quality.

Key benefits

• Helps remove gland blockages
• Improves oil flow into the tear film
• Reduces tear evaporation
• Enhances results of other treatments

What to expect

• Quick, in-office procedure
• Often combined with IPL or RF

TearCare for Dry Eye

What it does

TearCare is an in-office treatment designed for patients with evaporative dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. It helps soften thickened oil in the meibomian glands so the glands can function more effectively.

How it works

Flexible devices are placed on the eyelids to deliver controlled heat to the glands. During treatment, you are able to blink naturally, and the treatment is typically followed by manual meibomian gland expression to help clear blocked oil from the glands.

Key benefits

• Helps soften clogged oils in the meibomian glands
• Supports healthier gland function
• Helps improve the oil layer of the tear film
• Can reduce tear evaporation and improve comfort
• Allows blinking during treatment for a more natural treatment experience

What to expect

Treatment is performed in the office and is designed to be comfortable. After the warming portion of the treatment, the glands are expressed to help improve oil flow.

How often

Treatment frequency depends on the severity of your gland dysfunction, your symptoms, and how you respond to treatment. Your doctor will recommend the schedule that best fits your condition.

Recovery time

Most patients return to normal activities right away. Some temporary tenderness or sensitivity may occur after gland expression, depending on how blocked the glands are.

Lid Exfoliation with ZEST

What it does

ZEST is an in-office eyelid cleaning treatment designed to gently clean the lid margins and lashes. It helps remove debris, residue, and biofilm that can contribute to blepharitis, dry eye symptoms, and irritation.

How it works

A specialized okra-based gel is used to cleanse and debride the eyelid margins under clinical supervision. This helps remove buildup along the lash line that may be difficult to control with home care alone.

Key benefits

• Helps remove debris and biofilm from the eyelid margins
• Supports better eyelid hygiene
• May reduce irritation associated with blepharitis and dry eye
• Can be helpful as part of Demodex blepharitis care
• Often paired with at-home lid hygiene to maintain results

What to expect

The procedure is usually brief and performed in the exam room. Mild temporary irritation can occur, but most patients tolerate it well.

How often

Frequency varies depending on symptoms and eyelid health. Some patients benefit from periodic in-office treatment along with a home eyelid hygiene routine.

Recovery time

There is little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.

Demodex Blepharitis

What it is

Demodex blepharitis is a form of eyelid inflammation associated with an overgrowth of Demodex mites on the eyelashes and eyelid margins. A key clinical sign is the presence of collarettes, which are cylindrical waxy cuffs at the base of the lashes.

Common signs and symptoms

• Itching along the eyelid margins
• Red, irritated eyelids
• Crusting or debris at the base of the lashes
• Dry eye symptoms
• Ongoing blepharitis that keeps returning

How it is diagnosed

Demodex blepharitis is often identified during an eye exam by looking for collarettes and other signs of eyelid inflammation. Current expert guidance supports treating symptomatic blepharitis when collarettes are present.

Treatment options

Treatment may include:

• in-office eyelid cleaning such as lid exfoliation
• home eyelid hygiene
• prescription treatment when appropriate

The only FDA-approved prescription medication specifically indicated for Demodex blepharitis is XDEMVY, which is used twice daily for 6 weeks.

Why treatment matters

If Demodex blepharitis is not addressed, it can continue to contribute to chronic irritation, lid inflammation, and dry eye symptoms.

What to expect

Treatment is based on the severity of your findings and may include both in-office care and home maintenance. Improvement is often gradual as the eyelid environment becomes healthier.
