WHAT IS DRY EYE?

Dry eye is a common condition that happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This tear imbalance leads to inflammation and irritation of the eye’s surface. If left untreated, dry eye can impact your comfort, vision, and overall eye health, making daily tasks like reading, driving, or wearing contact lenses more difficult.

Common Symptoms

Dry eye can feel different for everyone. Some people experience a constant sensation of dryness or grittiness, while others notice excessive tearing as their eyes attempt to compensate.

Other common symptoms include:

Burning or stinging sensations
Eye redness and irritation
Light sensitivity
Blurry or fluctuating vision
A feeling like something is in your eye
Difficulty wearing contact lenses for long periods

If these symptoms sound familiar, you may be experiencing chronic dry eye.​​​​​​​

Contributing Factors

Dry eye can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Aging, especially hormonal changes after menopause

Long hours on digital devices
(which can reduce blink rate)

Contact lens wear

Environmental conditions such as wind, dry climates, or smoke exposure

Certain medications like antihistamines, antidepressants, or blood pressure medications

Autoimmune conditions such as Sjogren's syndrome

Identifying the root cause of your symptoms is the first step to finding long-term relief.

Advanced Dry Eye Treatments

OptiLight IPL Treatment

Advanced Light-Based Therapy for Lasting Dry Eye Relief

OptiLight is the first and only Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment specifically approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for managing Dry Eye Disease. It works by gently delivering precise pulses of light to the skin around your eyes, targeting inflammation — one of the primary root causes of dry eye symptoms.

By reducing inflammatory markers and improving the function of the meibomian glands (the glands that produce the oily layer of your tears), OptiLight helps restore a healthier tear film and long-term comfort. Most patients notice improvements after just a few treatments, with continued benefits over time.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Quick and comfortable treatments performed in our office
  • No anesthesia or downtime required
  • Noticeable improvements in eye comfort, moisture, and vision stability
  • Added cosmetic perks: brighter, more even skin tone and a softening of fine lines around the eyes

OptiPlus Radiofrequency Therapy

Restoring Healthy Tear Production and Rejuvenating Skin

OptiPlus radiofrequency (RF) therapy uses safe, targeted heat to gently warm the eyelids and surrounding tissue. This heat melts the thickened oil secretions that often clog the meibomian glands, helping them flow freely again. Healthy meibomian gland function is essential for producing the protective oil layer of your tears, which keeps tears from evaporating too quickly.

Beyond improving tear quality, the controlled RF energy also stimulates collagen production, naturally tightening and rejuvenating the delicate skin around your eyes. This makes OptiPlus a dual-benefit treatment: it alleviates dry eye symptoms while also offering a smoother, firmer appearance to the eyelids and surrounding facial areas.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Gentle warming sensation with no pain or downtime
  • Noticeable relief from dryness and irritation
  • Healthier, more stable tear film
  • Cosmetic benefits such as firmer, tighter skin around the eyes, lower face, and neck

NuLids Eyelid Treatment

Deep Cleansing for Healthier Lids and Clearer Vision

NuLids is a quick, spa-like treatment designed to restore the health of your eyelids — an essential yet often overlooked part of treating dry eye. Using a gentle oscillating tip, NuLids removes the buildup of debris, biofilm, and Demodex mites that can block your meibomian glands and contribute to chronic inflammation.

Clearing away these blockages not only improves eyelid hygiene but also helps other dry eye therapies (like OptiLight and OptiPlus) work more effectively and deliver faster results.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Comfortable, noninvasive 20-minute in-office treatment
  • Immediate improvement in eyelid cleanliness and comfort
  • Fresher, healthier eyelids that support normal tear production
  • Recommended periodically to maintain eyelid health and prevent flare-ups
