Having dry eyes is a common condition that may cause a variety of symptoms.  Some people experience a stinging, burning, or scratchy sensation.  Some people have eye fatigue after reading for a short period of time.  Dry eyes may cause sensitivity to light or increased irritation to wind or smoke.  Some people experience periods of watery eyes.

Your tears are more than just water – they are a complicated mixture containing water, oils, and electrolytes.  All of these components need to be in the correct proportions and location in order for you to have comfortable, moist eyes.

During your examination, your eye physician will examine your eyelids, your cornea (or the front of your eye), and the quality of your tears to determine a personalized dry eye treatment plan.

We offer two of the most effective in-office treatments available today:

• Radio Frequency (RF) Therapy: This gentle, heat-based treatment stimulates and unclogs the oil glands in your eyelids, helping to restore healthy tear film and reduce inflammation. It also promotes collagen remodeling for better eyelid support.
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy: IPL is a safe and powerful treatment that reduces inflammation around the eyes and improves oil gland function—providing significant relief for dry eye sufferers. IPL targets inflammation and abnormal blood vessels often associated with dry eye and rosacea, reducing redness and improving gland function for long-lasting relief.
