Dry Eye Treatment
Our comprehensive dry eye treatment program addresses meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis through advanced therapies including IPL, prescription medications, and customized lubrication regimens. We combine clinical expertise with patient education to manage chronic symptoms and improve tear quality. Our approach focuses on restoring ocular surface health through evidence-based protocols tailored to individual patient needs.
Keratoconus Management
We provide specialized keratoconus care featuring collagen cross-linking, hybrid contact lens fitting, and corneal topography monitoring. Our practice offers multiple specialized lens options including SynergEyes hybrids and NovaKone all-soft lenses to improve vision and comfort. Treatment plans are customized to each patient's stage of disease progression and visual requirements.
Collagen Cross-Linking
As early adopters of FDA-approved collagen cross-linking, we offer this vision-preserving procedure for progressive keratoconus. Our experience since 2010 ensures precise technique using Photrexa solutions and UV-A activation to strengthen corneal structure. We follow established protocols to halt disease progression and maintain visual function.
IPL Therapy
Our Intense Pulsed Light therapy targets inflammatory components of chronic dry eye by treating eyelid vascular abnormalities. This non-invasive procedure improves meibomian gland function and tear stability for patients who haven't responded to conventional treatments. We incorporate IPL into comprehensive management plans for long-term symptom relief.
Contact Lens Fitting
We specialize in complex contact lens fittings for irregular corneas, including post-surgical cases and keratoconus. Our offerings include hybrid lenses, scleral designs, and custom soft options. The fitting process utilizes advanced diagnostic tools to optimize lens parameters for both visual acuity and ocular health.
