Chronic dry eye is more than a nuisance—it can significantly impact your daily life by causing discomfort, blurry vision, and even long-term damage to your eyes if left untreated. At Westchester Eyes, we understand the challenges of managing chronic dry eye, which is why we offer cutting-edge treatments to bring you the relief you deserve.

Understanding Chronic Dry Eye

Chronic dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This condition can be caused by factors such as meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), environmental conditions, prolonged screen time, aging, or autoimmune diseases. Symptoms often include:
 

•          Persistent dryness

•          Grittiness or foreign body sensation

•          Redness and irritation

•          Sensitivity to light

•          Fluctuating vision

If you’ve been struggling with these symptoms, it’s time to explore the advanced treatment options available at Westchester Eyes.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

IPL is a revolutionary treatment designed to target the root cause of many cases of dry eye: meibomian gland dysfunction. The Marco EPI-C Plus delivers precise pulses of light to:
 

•          Unclog blocked meibomian glands

•          Improve oil flow in your tears

•          Reduce inflammation around the eyelids

IPL not only alleviates dryness but also addresses underlying inflammation to provide long-lasting relief.

Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)

LLLT works synergistically with IPL by using gentle, non-invasive light to stimulate cellular repair and improve gland function. This treatment promotes natural healing by:

•          Enhancing circulation in the eyelids

•          Rejuvenating the meibomian glands

•          Supporting tear film stability

The combination of IPL and LLLT in the Marco EPI-C Plus ensures a comprehensive approach to managing dry eye symptoms.

OPE® IPL Technology

Optimal Power Energy (OPE®) is an advanced form of IPL that offers enhanced precision and safety. OPE® is particularly effective for:

•          Reducing inflammation around the eyelids

•          Targeting blood vessels that contribute to chronic dry eye

•          Restoring the natural function of the meibomian glands

This innovative technology is a game-changer for patients who have not found success with traditional treatments.

MiBo ThermoFlo

The MiBo ThermoFlo is a specialized device that uses thermotherapy to address gland blockages and improve tear quality. Through the application of therapeutic heat, MiBo ThermoFlo:

•          Softens hardened oils in the meibomian glands

•          Gently massages the eyelids to restore gland function

•          Provides immediate and soothing relief

This comfortable, non-invasive treatment is ideal for those seeking a gentle yet effective solution to dry eye.
