Our Premier Dry Eye Treatments
iLux®:
The Systane® iLux® MGD Treatment Device is used in-office to boost your tear quality. This painless procedure gently applies heat to the eyelid to unclog the meibomian glands and allow the oils from them to flow, improving your tear film to keep your eyes hydrated.
Scleral Contact Lenses:
These specialty lenses allow you to safely and comfortably correct your vision and are a great option for people who experience dry eye or discomfort from regular contacts. Scleral lenses cover the entire eye, acting as a barrier against air and debris and locking in tears, which helps your eyes retain moisture and stay protected. We’re also proud to have the region’s premier scleral lens specialist on staff at Premier Eyecare Associates.
Eye drops:
Based on your dry eye cause, our doctors may recommend the use of eye drops to lubricate your eyes and provide you with the relief you need. There are many types over-the-counter and prescription dry eye drops, and we’ll help determine which one is right for you.
At-home solutions:
Our optometrists will use the knowledge of your lifestyle and type of dry eye to suggest customized home remedies for you. We’ll encourage regimen changes to improve your tears and prevent eye strain, such as omega-3 supplements, drinking more water, and using blue light glasses during screen time.
