OUR VISION

Treatment Services We Offer

Intense Pulsed Light

We are proud to carry the only FDA-approved IPL device for dry eye management, the Lumenis OptiLight!
Intense Pulsed Light is a powerful therapy that targets 5 of the 6 underlying causes of dry eye inflammation and can help jump-start your glands to produce better quality tears.

Thermal Gland Expression

The TearCare System utilizes both wearable and smart technology to deliver targeted thermal energy to the eyelids while allowing the eyelids to blink naturally. This can treat obstruction of blocked meibomian glands allowing more oil into your tears! More oil means your tears will be more stable and will not evaporate as quickly. Healthy and sufficient oil in your tears is paramount to having comfortable eyes and vision

Low Level Light Therapy

Low Level Light Therapy gently heats up the eyelids allowing the release of oil from the meibomian glands into the tears providing more moisture. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce the negative effects of ocular rosacea and blepharitis on tear quality.

Office Eyelid Cleaning

Just like you get a dental cleaning every 6 months to remove the biofilm that brushing daily cannot remove, it’s important to get a deep cleaning of your eyelids and eyelashes to remove biofilm build up too because many dry eye conditions start due to the build up of bacteria, mites, keratin and oil on the eyelid margin.

Amniotic Membranes

PROKERA® is a biologic corneal bandage device used by eye doctors around the world to heal and treat ocular conditions such as keratitis, moderate to severe dry eye disease, recurrent corneal erosions, filamentary keratitis, persistent epithelial defects, neurotrophic corneas, herpetic ulcers, and many other ocular surface diseases such as chemical burns and Stevens-Johnson syndrome. PROKERA® helps restore your patient’s cornea and return their eye to a normal, healthy state. It helps rapidly restore the cornea’s own healing capabilities with key Cryopreserved Amniotic Complex, the essential effector complex that orchestrates regenerative healing. PROKERA® contains the only cryopreserved amniotic membrane that is FDA-cleared and has demonstrated effectiveness in reducing harmful inflammation, minimizing scarring, and achieving corneal clarity.
