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.

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.
