AT A GLANCE
Three ways we address dry eye
Your eyes may need one approach or a combination. A dry eye evaluation helps us choose the right plan.
IN-OFFICE TREATMENTS
See what care looks like
Watch each treatment being performed, then explore how it may fit into a personalized dry eye plan.
01 / Light therapy
Calm the cycle of inflammation.
OptiLight uses carefully controlled light on the skin around the eyes to treat dry eye associated with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). It is the first and only FDA-approved IPL for this indication.
May help with: inflamed lid margins, ocular rosacea-related signs, redness, and unstable tears associated with MGD.
02 / Gentle heat
Help the oil glands flow.
OptiPlus uses controlled radiofrequency warmth around the eyelids to soften thickened oils. When appropriate, it can be paired with gland expression to support a more stable tear film.
May help with: blocked meibomian glands, poor oil quality, and tears that evaporate too quickly.
03 / Muscle stimulation
Support a more complete blink.
TriLift’s dynamic muscle stimulation targets selected muscles around the eyes. We may include it when incomplete blinking or lid laxity contributes to tear evaporation. Treatment can also extend beyond the eye area when appearance goals are part of your plan.
May help with: blink-related dry eye factors and a tired-looking eye area.
Interested in a whole-face refresh?
Ask about a TriLift plan that includes the face as well as the eye area. We can discuss aesthetic goals alongside your dry eye findings; treatment and results vary by person.
MORE WAYS WE CAN HELP
The details matter, too.
Many patients benefit from supporting care chosen for their eyelids, tear film, and eye surface.
ZEST eyelid cleaning
In-office cleansing removes buildup along the lashes and lid margins that can add to irritation.
Rinsada irrigation
A gentle in-office rinse helps clear allergens and debris from the ocular surface when appropriate.
Amniotic membrane
For more significant eye surface damage, a protective membrane may support healing.
PERSONALIZED TREATMENT PLANS
More care, better value.
When a treatment series is recommended, our packages can combine therapies to address the factors behind your dry eye. Every comprehensive dry eye treatment package includes a ZEST eyelid cleaning at the first visit. We usually perform meibomian gland expression after each treatment when clinically appropriate. Packages offer savings compared with individual treatments and support a consistent plan. We’ll review your options and pricing after the evaluation.
YOUR NEXT STEP

A comprehensive evaluation looks at your symptoms, tear film, eyelids, oil glands, and eye surface. Dr. Nancy Truong, optometrist, will recommend a plan based on what your eyes actually need.
