Punctal Plugs
Punctal plugs are small, biocompatible devices that are inserted into the tear ducts to help retain natural tears on the surface of the eyes. By blocking the drainage of tears, punctal plugs increase moisture and reduce the symptoms associated with dry eyes. Our ophthalmologists will carefully assess your condition and determine the most suitable type and size of punctal plugs for your needs.

Amniografts
We offer advanced therapies like Merakris’s Opticyte and Biotissue’s Prokera to provide targeted relief for severe or chronic dry eye cases. These amniografts are placed on the surface of the eye to promote healing and reduce inflammation. It helps rejuvenate the eye's surface and stimulate tear production. These grafts can be easily applied to the eye during your visit.

Intense Pulsed Light
Intense Pulsed Light therapy (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity pulses of light to alleviate dry eye symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin. The light pulses target and stimulate the meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer of tears. The heat from the light promotes the production of healthy tears and improves tear quality.
