The tear film of the eye is more complex than it may seem. While the term "dry eye" is often used broadly to describe issues within the tear system, at InSight Eyecare, we take a deeper look. Our approach goes beyond the basic label to identify the specific underlying causes of tear film dysfunction, so we can tailor treatment to your individual needs.
InSight Eyecare's Ocular Wellness Spa is our "dry eye clinic," where we begin by an individualized assessment of the ocular surface. Our team will assess your tear production, tear quality, inflammation levels, blink rate, oil glands, and corneal surface the day of your evaluation and give you more feedback on your tears than you probably care to know! Then based on these results, our doctors will give you a tailored treatment plan to help improve your signs and symptoms. While "dry eye" is very common, the impact it can have on your daily life is not to be underestimated. Unfortunately, "dry eye" is a chronic condition, but with the guidance and education of our team we can help you manage it!
We offer in office procedures, such as IPL, Lipiflow, and Zest treatments.
