Dry eye syndrome, or ocular surface disease is a common chronic condition that affects individuals of all ages. Symptoms often include ocular discomfort, irritation, red eyes, light sensitivity, and blurred vision.
At Peak Vision Clinic, we offer targeted treatment options to manage and treat the symptoms and causes of ocular surface disease. While we continue to recommend traditional treatment options such as lubricating eye drops, warm compresses, and medications, we are proud to offer the latest technology and methods in dry eye treatment, including but not limited to:
For those with dry eye symptoms associated with meibomian gland dysfunction, one of the root causes of dry eye, IPL and RF therapies utilizes controlled pulses of focused by targeting the blood vessels and meibomian glands in the eyelids.
Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of IPL therapy in unclogging the meibomian glands and stimulating healthy oil production for the eyes; stabilizing the ocular surface, providing relief, and alleviating symptoms.
Schedule with one of our doctors today and they will help you to determine your candidacy, costs, benefits, and risks to consider.
LLLT is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates tear production, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing by using gentle, non-thermal light to stimulate ocular tissues.
By utilizing various wavelengths of light such as Red (630nm), Blue (415nm), Pink (630nm + 415nm), and Infrared (830nm), LLLT can effectively address several eye specific conditions such as meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharitis, and styes.
Amniotic membranes are rich in stem cells, possessing anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties that can be highly effective in healing the surface of the eyes. Amniotic membranes can be utilized in both acute and chronic corneal conditions such severe dry eye inflammation and corneal abrasions/burns/erosions.
These membranes are derived from the innermost layer of the placenta and are ethically obtained from elective c-sections. In eye care, they function as short-term corneal grafts, typically requiring a quick and simple in-office procedure performed by one of our doctors.
