Treatments we offer

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL is a non-invasive light-based treatment that helps reduce inflammation and support healthier oil gland function in the eyelids—especially for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). For many patients, it’s one of the most effective ways to improve comfort and tear quality over time.

Radio Frequency (RF)
RF is a gentle, heat-based treatment used to warm the eyelids and support healthier meibomian gland function. When the glands are blocked or sluggish, the tear film becomes unstable and symptoms flare. RF can help improve the quality of the oil layer and reduce day-to-day irritation. For many patients with MGD, IPL and RF work well together as part of a structured treatment plan.

Punctal Plugs
Punctal plugs are tiny, biocompatible inserts placed in the tear ducts to help keep natural tears on the eye longer. It’s quick, safe, and often helpful when dryness persists despite drops or other therapies.

NuLids
NuLids is a gentle, non-invasive eyelid hygiene treatment that helps remove debris and bacteria along the lid margin. It supports healthier eyelids and can help improve comfort—especially when blepharitis contributes to dry eye.

Amniotic Membrane
For moderate to severe ocular surface irritation, amniotic membrane therapy can support healing and reduce inflammation when other treatments haven’t been enough.
