Dryness

Eye Fatigue

Blurred Vision

Types of Dry Eye

Evaporative Dry Eye

This is the more common type of dry eye and is caused by poor-quality tear film that allows moisture from the eyes to evaporate faster, resulting in the eyes drying out.

Aqueous Deficiency Dry Eye

The lacrimal gland supplies the eyes with their moisture, and if this gland stops functioning properly, you will experience symptoms of dry eye.

Oasis Surgical’s Dry Eye Clinic makes use of the very best treatments available for dry eye patients. During your consultation, we will discuss which treatments may work the best for you and provide you with all the information that you need in order to make an informed decision.Some of the technologies we use include:

LIPIFLOW®

The leading cause of dry eye disease is Meibomiam Gland Dysfunction (MGD), and Lipiflow treats this root cause by stimulating oil production to improve tear production via massage. The Lipiflow treatment is typically non-invasive and does not involve much downtime or recovery time.

LUMENIS OPTIMA™ IPL

This drug-free treatment treats the chronic inflammation that is often the underlying condition contributing to dry eye. This light-based treatment often provides long-lasting results that treat MGD and dry eye in general.

AB MAX™

Improving the overall health of your eyelids is key to relieving uncomfortable symptoms associated with dry eye. Using the AB Max, we can gently remove debris from your eyelids, which can help to alleviate irritation and discomfort that dry eye can elad to.
