Certain medications
Contact lens wear
Sleep apnea

Understanding what makes your symptoms worse helps us provide targeted strategies to manage them effectively.

How We Diagnose Dry Eye

Our clinic uses different diagnostic tools to assess the quality and stability of your tears:

Topcon MYAH provides a detailed view of the meibomian glands, which produce the oils that keep your tears healthy. By evaluating their structure and function, we can identify blockages or dysfunction that contribute to dry eye.

Automated TBUT measures how quickly your tears break up on the surface of your eye. This helps us identify tear film instability, which can be a major factor in dry eye symptoms.
Dyes and staining highlight areas of dryness or damage on the surface of your eyes. This allows us to see where the eyes are not getting enough lubrication and guides targeted treatment.

Personalized Dry Eye Treatments

We offer a variety of options to address dry eye symptoms, tailored to each patient’s needs:

Eye masks provide gentle warmth and hydration to soothe dry, irritated eyes while improving the quality of your tears.
Medicated eye drops help reduce inflammation or address other underlying causes of dry eye, supporting healthier tear production and comfort.
Meibomian gland expression gently clears blocked glands to restore proper oil flow, which reduces evaporative dry eye and helps tears last longer.
Punctal plugs are tiny inserts placed in the tear ducts to help retain natural tears and improve eye lubrication throughout the day.
Ophthalmic amniotic membrane tissue (Opthalogix) is used for advanced cases, supporting healing and reducing chronic inflammation on the eye surface.

We also provide guidance on daily habits and environmental changes that can improve comfort, such as adjusting screen time, managing airflow, or selecting the right contact lenses.
