What is Dry Eye?
Redness
Tearing
Irritation
Sandy
Scratchy
Dry Eye Symptom (DES) is an ocular surface condition that causes vision fluctuation and symptoms that impede on quality of life when severe enough. These symptoms include redness, watering, gritty sensation, irritation, eye pains, and light sensitivity. When these symptoms are not treated properly it could lead to contact lens intolerance, eye infections, and decline in vision.
The tear layer is made up of three layers: aqueous, oily layer, and mucin. When one of these layers is compromised, it causes an instability in the tear film, therefore causing it to not function or lubricate the eyes properly.

The initial consultation includes a comprehensive evaluation with advanced diagnostics and a detailed review of ocular and systemic health, allowing the doctor to determine the root causes and design a customized, targeted treatment plan.
Lumenis Optilight is the only FDA IPL treatment approved for dry eye disease. It helps reduce inflammation, meibomian gland dysfunction, bacteria build up (demodex mites), and improves tear break up time. We recommend 4 sessions, 2-3 weeks apart.
We offer in-office deep cleanings around the eyelids and eyelashes for those suffering from demodex mites overgrowth and cosmetic build up. We also have offer toxic-free eye makeup, lash serums, and cosmetics.
Custom-made from your own blood, these eye drops harness your body’s natural healing power. Rich in platelets and growth factors, they are designed to nourish and restore the ocular surface. We prepare everything in-house, giving us complete oversight and quality control from start to finish.
Membranes are derived from the innermost layer of a woman's placenta after childbirth. The membrane is rich in growth factors, placed on the ocular surface to promote healing.
Unlike soft contact lenses, Scleral Lenses are proven to help those with chronic dry eyes by retaining moisture in the eyes and serving as a barrier between the ocular surface and the environment.
