Our Dry Eye Clinic

Your eyes feel like something’s scratching them. They sting and burn. Sometimes they water uncontrollably. Sometimes your vision blurs.

It’s unpleasant and it’s painful. It affects how you do your work (computer screens are the worst). And it affects how you relax (sometimes seeing a movie or watching television hurts).

You feel like you’ve tried EVERYTHING. But nothing seems to resolve it.

You’ve used allergy drops. Warm compresses. Artificial tears. All the over-the-counter medication you can get. And still, here you are. With burning, gritty eyes. Wondering if this will ever get better.

You just want to live your life like a normal person, without constantly being in pain. Without thinking about your eyes all the time. Without dreading screen time or reading or air conditioning.

Just seeing well. And feeling good.

The positive news is, you’re not imagining the pain. Dry Eye Syndrome is a common chronic condition and individuals who have it suffer from aggravated, irritated eyes that aren’t easily relieved.

The problem is, many non-specialists dismiss these symptoms and assume that they’ll get better with time.

But if you’re using over-the-counter eye drops or artificial tears multiple times a day, and you’re still experiencing painful symptoms, you should definitely arrange a consultation with us.

At our specialized Dry Eye Clinic, our specialists will conduct tests and evaluate what you’re experiencing in order to diagnose the root cause of your problem.

Once we’ve identified the cause of your issue, we’ll work with you to come up with a customized and effective treatment plan.

What Can Cause Dry Eye Disease?

• Post-surgical side effects
• And more…
  

The Answer for 86% of Dry Eye Patients

Chang Eye Group is the 1st in the area to offer both LipiFlow® and Intense Pulse Light for the treatment of Dry Eye.

What is LipiFLow?

LipiFlow is a heated, gentle pulsation treatment specifically designed for removing blockages from the eye glands. Lipiflow enables the glands to function properly, which help produces the oils needed for healthy tears. Lipiflow demonstrates safe and effective results with 86% to 98% of patients showing improvement within just 1 month of treatment. LipiFlow is designed to minimize patient discomfort during a 12-minute in-office treatment that most patients describe as a gently massaging of the eyelids.

What is IPL?

Meibomian glands are the tiny oil glands which line the margin of the upper and lower eyelids. These glands secrete oil which coats the surface of the eyes and keeps the water component of tears from evaporating.

IPL Therapy is a painless method that delivers pulses of light to liquefy and release the oils that have hardened and clogged the meibomian glands in the eyelids. IPL also reduces eyelid redness and stimulates healthy gland function.
