Dry eye isn’t just annoying—it can be persistent, painful, and disruptive.
And for many people, home remedies like drops or warm compresses only offer short-term relief.
That’s because they don’t address the root cause: meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD); which affects the oil layer of your tears.
If your dry eye symptoms keep returning, it may be time for a more effective solution.
In-office treatments go deeper than home remedies. They help to restore gland function and stabilize your tear film for lasting relief.
At eye. Optometry, our team uses advanced, clinically proven technology to deliver professional care that targets dry eye at the source.
Chronic dry eye usually involves meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD); a progressive condition that home remedies have difficulty resolving, and may worsen if left untreated.
Early dry eye treatment helps prevent permanent gland damage, protects the ocular surface, and can support better outcomes for surgeries like cataract or laser vision correction.
At eye. Optometry, we offer advanced in-office treatments that go beyond symptom relief to address the root causes of dry eye.
Each treatment is selected based on your eye health, comfort level, and treatment goals.
Intense Regulated Pulsed Light (IRPL) therapy uses targeted light pulses to stimulate the meibomian glands which is key to maintaining a stable, healthy tear film.
What patients can expect from treatment:
IRPL treatment is especially helpful for patients whose symptoms are linked to gland dysfunction and tear film instability.
Many patients experience long-lasting relief, with maintenance sessions once or twice a year to keep symptoms under control.
Forma-I is a radiofrequency treatment that gently heats the eyelids to soften and clear blocked oil glands that also offers skin-tightening benefits.
InMode Radiofrequency treatment is comfortable, non-invasive, and supports both eyelid health and cosmetic outcomes.
Here’s how it helps:
Forma-I is especially beneficial for patients with aging skin, lid laxity, or persistent gland blockages.
Lumecca IPL therapy uses light pulses to reduce inflammation, clear bacteria and mites, and treat dry eye symptoms caused by skin or eyelid conditions.
This therapy is ideal for patients with inflammation-based dry eye or rosacea around the eyes.
Treating meibomian gland dysfunction early not only helps preserve long-term gland function but can also protect the ocular surface.
This is especially important for patients who may be considering future surgeries like cataract removal or laser vision correction, where a healthy tear film can support better outcomes.
In-office dry eye treatments are ideal for patients who need more than short-term relief.

It depends on the root cause. At eye. Optometry, we assess your symptoms, tear quality, and gland health before recommending IRPL, radiofrequency, IPL—or a combination.
Yes. All options are non-invasive, clinically backed, and performed by trained providers. They are safe for long-term use and well-tolerated by most patients.
Most people notice improvement after 2–4 sessions. Full results build over several weeks, depending on the treatment and severity of symptoms.
Many patients reduce or stop using artificial tears after completing treatment, though this depends on the underlying condition and how your eyes respond.
Yes. Some patients benefit most from a combination approach. Your provider will explain the options and recommend the right sequence based on your needs.
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) occurs when the oil glands in your eyelids become blocked or underactive, leading to faster tear evaporation.
In-office treatments like IRPL and radiofrequency help restore gland function and improve tear stability.
IRPL is safe for most people with fair to medium skin tones (types I–IV on the Fitzpatrick scale) and is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or have very dark skin tones.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and health history to ensure it’s the right fit for you.
