Dry Eye Workup and Diagnostic Testing

Understanding Dry Eye

Dry eye is a very common condition that happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can lead to burning, redness, irritation, blurred vision, or the feeling that something is “in your eye.” Left untreated, dry eye can affect your daily comfort and even your long-term eye health.

At our Dry Eye Clinic, we focus on identifying the exact cause of your symptoms and providing advanced, personalized treatments to bring you lasting relief.

How We Diagnose Dry Eye

The first step to treating dry eye is understanding what’s causing it. We use the Oculus Keratograph machine to perform a full Dry Eye Workup test. This test helps our optometrists pinpoint whether your symptoms are due to tear quality, tear quantity, or oil gland blockages.

Once we have your results, your optometrist will review them with you and recommend the most effective treatment options.

Treatment Options We Offer

Every patient’s dry eye is different, which is why we provide a range of advanced treatments tailored to your needs:

• InMode IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Helps reduce inflammation around the eyes and improves oil gland function.

• InMode RF (Radiofrequency): Uses gentle heat to open blocked glands and stimulate natural tear production.

• Meibomian Gland (MGD) Expression/Compression: A procedure that clears blocked oil glands to restore healthy tear flow.

• BlephEx: A comfortable in-office cleaning treatment that removes debris and bacteria from the eyelids to improve eye health.
