Dry Eye Treatment

Comprehensive Dry Eye Evaluations

Dry eye disease is more than occasional irritation. It is a chronic condition that can affect your comfort, vision, and overall quality of life. At Family First Eye Care, we believe successful treatment begins with identifying the root cause of your symptoms rather than simply masking them with artificial tears.

Meibomian Gland Imaging

The meibomian glands produce the protective oil layer that helps prevent your tears from evaporating too quickly. When these glands become blocked or damaged, patients often develop Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), one of the leading causes of dry eye disease.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy

Millions of people suffer from eye and vision-related problems. For some, the solution is as simple as wearing prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, others face challenges that aren’t as easy to rectify. That’s where Lumenis comes into play.
 

LLLT (Low-Level Light Therapy)

Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. There are several factors that can contribute to dry eye, including environmental factors, hormonal changes, and certain medications. Additionally, conditions such as meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis can also lead to dry eye.

NuLids Pro Eyelid Hygiene Therapy

Healthy eyelids play an important role in maintaining healthy tears.

NuLids Pro is an FDA-cleared eyelid hygiene system designed to gently clean the eyelid margins while removing debris, bacteria, biofilm, and excess oil that contribute to dry eye disease and blepharitis.

Dry Eye Treatment Plans

Every dry eye patient is different. The cause of dry eye varies from person to person, which is why there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
