What to Expect During Dry Eye Treatment and Care

Step 1: Initial Consultation and Specialized Tear Film Analysis

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 70-point ocular surface diagnostic session. Clinically, we use high-definition imaging to map your Meibomian glands and quantify the evaporation rate of your tears. Informationally, our specialists will sit down with you to review the results, explaining the specific causes of your dryness and how our targeted IPL therapy can help restore your eye health. This phase ensures that we are treating your specific subtype of dry eye with maximum precision.

Step 2: Personalized Treatment with Aquacel IPL and Gland Expression

Once your personalized plan is developed, you will undergo your first session of Aquacel IPL therapy. The procedure involves the application of a protective gel followed by targeted light pulses to the eyelid area. Following the IPL, our specialists perform a manual Meibomian gland expression to clear away stagnant oils. This dual-action approach is tailored to your comfort level and is designed to provide immediate stimulation to the glands while reducing chronic inflammation.
