Not Enough Tears?

Introducing the latest technology in Dry Eye Therapy.   LipiFlow® could be your first step to relief! Our doctors will perform a series of evaluations to determine the likely cause of your Dry Eye. This can include a LipiView tear film assessment and a Meibomian gland evaluation. Knowing what is causing your Dry Eye will help your doctor determine the best treatment option. LipiFlow® is a procedure designed to treat the root cause of Evaporative Dry Eye, blocked Meibomian glands.  LipiFlow® works by applying directed energy to the eyelid near the affected glands — precisely targeted warmth from the back of the eyelid, and slight pressure from the front. This treatment is performed right in our office. Imagine returning to doing the things you enjoy, without thinking about your eyes.   Talk to us at your next appointment if you think you suffer from dry eye.

Tiger eyes, checkered pupils: non-prescription decorative lenses also called cosmetic, costume or plano contact lenses come in many different patterns and colors.
