Do You Have Dry Eye? Get Relief Today!
If you are experiencing any symptoms, our friendly and talented staff will conduct tests to determine if you have dry eye syndrome, as well as the best course of action for your needs. We have many methods of dry eye treatment thanks to our incredible advanced technology and will customize our care to fit your vision and lifestyle!
Treatment Options
Once our doctors have determined the source of your condition, they will prescribe one or a combination of the following dry eye treatments.
LipiFlow®
The LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation Therapy is a safe and comfortable procedure that can treat your dry eye in as quick as 15 minutes or less. This process gently applies heat directly to your eyelids to unblock the glands responsible for providing the crucial oil component to your tears, relieving symptoms.
BlephEx®
During a BlephEx® in-office treatment, our doctors will finely spin a soft, medical-grade micro sponge along your eyelids and lashes, cleaning and clearing off any bacterial biofilm that can contribute to dry eye. When performed, BlephEx® can eliminate blockages that prevent healthy tear formation.
Amniotic Membranes
Though not exclusively used for dry eye treatment, amniotic membranes are a newer technology that can restore and heal the cornea, relieving some forms and symptoms of dry eye. These are similar to contact lenses but are designed to specifically reduce inflammation and irritation of the cornea.
Eye Drops
We frequently use medicated and specialty eye drops that are engineered to provide stronger relief and medicate your eyes during dry eye treatment. Our team is skilled in identifying the correct dosage for your vision needs, so you always get exactly what your eyes require!
Vitamins
Other methods for soothing dry eye syndrome are specific vitamins and other supplements. We’re experts at figuring out the exact combination of vitamins and supplements to keep your eyes hydrated, so ask us how we can help today!
TearCare®
This innovative, wearable technology clears blockages in your meibomian glands, which can cause dry eye symptoms. Our eye doctors use TearCare® to apply localized heat and manually express the glands, providing you with long-lasting relief.
Lumecca
Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) designed to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. Lumecca-I creates tissue heating which helps to reduce inflammation and target Ocular Rosacea. Operating through photothermolysis, Lumecca delivers a comfortable yet highly effective light treatment, providing relief and rejuvenation for dry, irritated eyes. Treatment is performed right in our office. There is no general anesthesia, no incisions, or downtime. Most clients find the treatments very comfortable. Your provider will discuss in detail with you the specifics of your customized treatment plan and how it will address your individual condition.
Forma-I
This is an innovative non surgical procedure that delivers bipolar frequency (RF) technology to smaller, more delicate subdermal layers. It’s a very effective treatment for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) Forma-I feels like a warm massage in the eye area, improving blood circulation, liquefying oil blockages within the glands, and stimulating collagen for skin tightening. Experience the rejuvenating effects of Forma-I, customized for your specific needs, to enhance comfort and promote optimal eye health and relieve your symptoms of Dry Eye.

Kevin FeusierJune 16, 2022.Always great service and staff here.
Lydia AbreuJune 12, 2022.I experienced the most amazing eye treatment from Dr. Frances Leung yesterday (on a Saturday). I took the chance in contacting their office and expected to just leave a message for a return call and was so relieved to be able to select the option for a return call. She called me within five minutes and scheduled a time for me to come in for an evaluation. She did a thorough exam and identified the problem, prescribed medication and I am now on the mend. I will forever be grateful for her expert exam, treatment and quick response. I would give more stars if I could, she is absolutely fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Loved meeting Dr. Mitra and her assistant Iman. All at reception were wonderful and very welcoming. I'm looking forward to my upcoming surgery. Highly recommend! Now I've had my eyelid surgery.
