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.
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.
