How is dry eye disease diagnosed and treated?
Through imaging of the meibomian glands, measuring the osmolarity of the tear film, and screening for certain conditions, we are able to diagnose and provide treatment for the condition.
Some of the typical treatments include:
Treat the root cause of dry eye: chronic inflammation. The iProX IPL/RF is a drug-free, drop-free, light-based treatment, which targets the root causes of surface disease and blepharitis. It treats periocular inflammatory conditions such as ocular rosacea and telangiectasia, which may lead to ocular surface conditions such as dry eye. In addition, radiofrequency (RF) energy to safely and effectively treat dry eyes and what people often describe as ‘baggy eyes’ and wrinkles for a smoother, healthier-looking appearance. Meibomian Gland Disorder (MGD) is the leading cause of dry eye and discomfort in the eye area.

Amniotic Membranes
Amniotic membranes are used in dry eye treatment to help repair and restore the surface of the eye. Rich in growth factors and anti-inflammatory proteins, they promote healing of damaged corneal tissue while reducing inflammation and discomfort. When applied, often as a temporary graft or contact lens, they create a protective barrier that keeps the eye hydrated and supports regeneration of healthy cells. This can lead to improved tear stability, reduced irritation, and faster recovery for patients with moderate to severe dry eye disease.
