Dry Eye Treatment with
At your dry eye evaluation, our doctors will perform several diagnostic tests to help determine which specific type of dry eye you are suffering from. Some of these tests include measuring the volume of tears on the surface of the eye, checking the quality of tears, checking for inflammation, and assessing the structure of the Meibomian glands.
There are many different types of treatment options, ranging from home therapies to in-office treatments. Some of those treatments include:
- Lubricating eye drops
- Prescription eye drops
- Hot compresses
- Omega-3 supplements
- Eyelid hygiene
- Punctal plugs
- Meibomian gland expression
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
