The Hidden Complexity of Dry Eye
If you find yourself constantly reaching for eye drops, you might be masking a deeper problem. Dry Eye Syndrome isn't just about a lack of tears; it's often about the quality of your tears.
Evaporative Dry Eye
The majority of dry eye cases are caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). These tiny glands in your eyelids produce the oil layer of your tear film. When they get blocked, your tears evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes gritty and irritated.
Advanced Treatments
At EyeCare Center of Orange County, we go beyond basic drops to treat the underlying cause of your discomfort.
IPL Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a revolutionary treatment that reduces inflammation and helps unclog meibomian glands. It treats the root cause of dry eye, providing long-lasting relief.
LipiFlow
LipiFlow is a thermal pulsation system that gently heats and massages the eyelids to remove blockages from the meibomian glands, restoring the natural flow of oils to your tear film.
Don't Ignore the Symptoms
Untreated dry eye can lead to corneal damage and vision problems. If you're suffering, schedule an evaluation to find a personalized solution.
