Located in the heart of Westlake Village, California, our clinic provides personalized care supported by the latest technology to target the root causes of dry eye—not just the symptoms.

Below, explore the advanced dry eye therapies available in our office and how each can help you regain lasting ocular comfort.

⭐ Why Dry Eye Happens

Dry eye disease can stem from:

  • Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)

  • Inflammation of the eyelids or ocular surface

  • Environmental factors (screens, AC, dry climate)

  • Hormonal changes

  • Certain medications

  • Autoimmune or systemic conditions

Because the causes vary, effective treatment requires a customized approach. That’s why our doctors perform a comprehensive dry eye evaluation, including meibomian gland imaging and tear quality testing.

✨ Advanced Dry Eye Treatments We Offer

1. LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation

LipiFlow is a leading FDA-approved therapy for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)—one of the most common causes of dry eye.
It gently applies controlled heat to the inner eyelids while pulsating pressure massages the glands, helping them produce healthy oils again.

Benefits of LipiFlow:

  • Non-invasive

  • Quick—12-minute treatment

  • Long-lasting improvement in tear stability

  • Reduces burning, irritation & fluctuating vision

2. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy

IPL is a powerful treatment for inflammatory dry eye, rosacea-related dry eye, and MGD.
Pulses of light gently warm and unclog the meibomian glands while reducing eyelid inflammation.

IPL Helps With:

  • Chronic redness

  • Thickened or blocked oil glands

  • Ocular rosacea

  • Styes & chalazia

Patients often notice improvements after just a few sessions.

3. TearCare® System

TearCare uses smart, flexible heating devices placed on the eyelids to gently warm and liquefy blocked meibum.
Unlike traditional warm compresses, TearCare delivers consistent heat and allows blinking during treatment, making it extremely effective.

Why Patients Love TearCare:

  • Comfortable

  • Highly effective for MGD

  • Tailored heat and expression process

4. BlephEx® Lid Cleaning

BlephEx helps remove bacterial biofilm and debris from the eyelid margins—ideal for patients with blepharitis, flaky lids, or recurrent irritation.

BlephEx reduces:

  • Burning

  • Grittiness

  • Tear film inflammation

  • Eyelid debris

5. Punctal Plugs

For patients whose tears evaporate too quickly or who don’t produce enough tears, punctal plugs help retain natural lubrication by slowing tear drainage.

Benefits:

  • Immediate improvement in dryness

  • Minimally invasive

  • Long-lasting results

6. Prescription Dry Eye Medications

Our doctors may recommend medications to improve tear production or reduce inflammation, including:

  • Restasis®

  • Xiidra®

  • Cequa®

  • Tyrvaya® Nasal Spray

Often these are combined with in-office treatments for optimal results.

7. Specialty Artificial Tears & Omega-3 Therapy

We guide patients toward high-quality lubricating drops, nighttime gels, and omega-3 supplements that support long-term tear stability and ocular surface health.
