Advanced Dry Eye Management

What is "Dry Eye Disease"?

Dry Eye Disease is a common condition that occurs when your tears can't produce adequate lubrication for your eyes or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage of the eye's surface. If left untreated, it can impact your eye health and overall quality of life.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

OptiLIGHT with Lumenis patented Optimal Pulse Technology is the first and only FDA approved Light Therapy for Dry Eye Management. OptiLIGHT uses precise, intense broad spectrum light to reduce inflammation by stimulating Meibomian Glands, promoting healthier tear production. At Luxe Eye & Wellness we offer OptiLiGht technology to set new treatment standards and help our patients find a real solution for their dry eyes.

Radio Frequency Therapy

Radio Frequency (RF) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses radio waves to gently heat the tissue around the eyes, stimulating collagen production and improving the function of the meibomian glands. This boosts tear film quality and reduces symptoms of dry eye. RF therapy also offers cosmetic benefits by tightening skin and reducing wrinkles around the eyes.

Punctal Plugs

Punctal plugs are tiny, biocompatible devices inserted into the tear ducts to prevent tears from draining too quickly. By keeping more tears on the surface of your eye, punctal plugs help alleviate the symptoms of dry eye, providing longer-lasting moisture and relief. This minimally invasive procedure is safe, quick, and effective.

Prescription Eye Drops

Prescription Eye drops offer targeted relief by reducing inflammation, soothing irritation, or treating underlying issues to restore comfort and eye health. Our experienced optometrist will prescribe the right solution based on your specific needs for an effective and safe treatment.

Amniotic Membrane

Amniotic membranes are ocular grafts created from ethically sourced stem cells that are known for their healing, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties, particularly beneficial for patients suffering from severe dry eye, corneal injuries, or chronic inflammation. In our office, we provide this effective therapy to help patients recover more quickly and improve their comfort.?

ZEST Blepharo Exfoliation

ZEST is an innovative treatment that uses plant-based ingredients, specifically okra extracts, designed to remove Demodex mites and any built up debris from the lid margin. This treatment provides a soothing, spa-like cleanse that revitalizes your eyelids and lashes, leaving them feeling refreshed, healthy, and relieved from any dry eye and blepharitis symptoms.

At Home Dry Eye Treatments

Managing dry eye at home is essential for reducing discomfort and maintaining eye health. Simple remedies like warm compresses, using a humidifier, and applying over-the-counter lubricating eye drops can help temporarily soothe irritated eyes. Hydrating and taking omega-3 supplements may also support tear production, while taking breaks from screens and blinking exercises reduce eye strain.
