✦ Dry Eye Damage ✦
Consistent and sustainable tear production is essential for protecting and maintaining a healthy cornea, which is the front surface of the eye. Tear production is affected by the Meibomian glands, which can often get clogged by hardened oils or other obstructions, thus impairing their ability to properly lubricate the eye.
Without proper lubrication, the eye can experience chronic dryness, leading to redness, blurred vision, light sensitivity, burning, itching, and general discomfort. If left untreated, chronic eye dryness can cause more permanent damage to the cornea and eyelid, eventually leading to serious vision loss.
✦ IPL Treatments & More ✦
The optometrists at Westchester Eyes are specialized in treating dry eye conditions. Their facility features a dedicated center with a suite of technologies designed specifically for dry eye treatments.
Westchester Eyes employs two cutting-edge IPL devices: the Espansione Optimal Power Energy® Intense Pulsed Light (OPE IPL) and Light Modulation® Low-Level Light Therapy (LM LLLT). Among the conditions IPL can cure and prevent are Dry Eye Disease (DED) caused by Meibomian Glands Dysfunction (MGD), Sjögren's Syndrome, and more.
In addition to the two IPL treatment machines, Westchester Eyes can treat patients with the LidPro Eye Exfoliator and the MiBoFlo Thermoelectric device which uses thermoelectric heat to encourage the Meibomian glands to secrete a healthy amount of natural oils.
If you're experiencing dry eyes, the optometrists at Westchester Eyes will perform a comprehensive eye examination including testing that evaluates the quantity and quality of your tear production. From there, the specialized optometrist will work with you to design a treatment plan that best suits your needs and desired outcomes.
