We understand the persistent discomfort and irritation that dry eyes, blepharitis, and other ocular surface issues can cause. We're committed to providing specialized treatment options to alleviate your symptoms, address the underlying causes, and restore your eye health and comfort.
Our ocular surface services include:
- Thorough exam and symptom screening: During your ocular exam, we will look for signs to identify the root cause of your symptoms. Eye surface diseases are typically chronic, multifactorial and progressive.
- Dry Eye Treatment: Our team offers a comprehensive approach to dry eye treatment, including prescription eye drops, punctal plugs, warm compresses, eyelid hygiene, and nutritional guidance. For more severe cases, we may recommend advanced treatments like LipiFlow, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, autologous serum eye drops, prescription medication that may not be covered well by insurance, or amniotic membrane treatment.
- Blepharitis Management: We provide tailored treatment options to manage blepharitis, an inflammation of the eyelids often caused by a bacterial infection or dysfunction of the oil glands. Our approach includes eyelid hygiene, warm compresses, medicated eye drops or ointments, and, in some cases, in-office procedures like BlephEx or thermal pulsation treatment. Frequently, the most effective treatment needs to be done regularly by you at home.
- Ocular Allergy Relief: Our team can help identify and manage ocular allergies, providing relief from itching, redness, and swelling. We offer various treatment options, including antihistamine eye drops, mast cell stabilizers, and corticosteroids, as well as guidance on avoiding allergens and implementing at-home remedies.
