WHAT DOES IT DO FOR ME?
Our Dry Eye Evaluation offers the following benefits to you:
It allows us to capture a series of high-resolution pictures, scans, and videos of your eyes, glands, and lid margins in a non-invasive way. These are compiled to provide a detailed evaluation of your diagnosis.
This evaluation provides an insight as to what factor(s) are contributing to your dry eye symptoms and allows the Doctor to tailor treatments to the root of your condition. Based on this evaluation, the Doctor will prescribe at-home therapies and/or in-office treatments to help slow the progression of the disease, ease your symptoms and provide a greater quality of life for you.
This precise and innovative tool will:
- Capture infrared images of the Meibomian glands, the glands that produce the oil layer of the tear film. These images will show the structure of the glands, whether they are healthy, have atrophied, or have drop out.
- Assess the health of the Lid Margins and Lashes to see if you have Ocular Rosacea, Telangiectasia or spider veins, or any bacterial build-up.
- Measure the Tear Break-up Time with precision of where on your cornea it breaks up first and how quickly, letting us know how stable the tear film is.
- Analyze the thickness and quality of the Lipid Layer or fat of the tear film.
We are excited to bring this innovative technology to our coastal community to accurately and effectively diagnose and treat your dry eye symptoms.
These bothersome symptoms do not have to continue for the rest of your life.
