Dry Eye Clinic

Welcome to the Dry Eye Clinic at Eyecare Center of Leesburg

Are you feeling any discomfort, irritation, or a gritty sensation in your eyes? These symptoms could indicate that you're suffering from a common condition known as dry eye. The Dry Eye Clinic at Eyecare Center of Leesburg is here to provide you with comprehensive solutions and personalized care to alleviate your dry eye symptoms and improve your overall eye health.

Understanding Dry Eye:

Dry eye, medically known as "keratoconjunctivitis sicca," is a condition characterized by an insufficient production of tears or poor tear quality, leading to discomfort and potential damage to the surface of the eye. It can result in symptoms such as:

  • Dryness and grittiness

  • Burning or stinging sensation

  • Redness and irritation

  • Blurred vision

  • Sensitivity to light

  • Watery eyes (paradoxically caused by inadequate tear composition)

Types of Dry Eye Treatments:

At the Dry Eye Clinic, we offer a range of treatments tailored to address your specific dry eye condition. Our experienced and knowledgeable team will work closely with you to determine the best treatment approach. Some of the treatment options include:

  1. Artificial Tears and Lubricants: These over-the-counter or prescription eye drops help supplement the eye's natural tear film and provide temporary relief from dry eye symptoms.

  2. Lifestyle Modifications: Simple changes such as staying hydrated, using a humidifier, avoiding smoke, and taking breaks during prolonged screen time can significantly improve dry eye symptoms.

  3. Prescription Medications: Anti-inflammatory eye drops or medications that stimulate tear production may be recommended based on your individual needs.

  4. Punctal Plugs: These tiny devices are inserted into the tear drainage ducts to slow down tear drainage, keeping the eyes moist for a longer period.

  5. MiBo Thermoflo Treatment

Our Advanced Technology

At Eyecare Center of Leesburg, we're proud to offer the innovative MiBo Thermoflo treatment for dry eye relief. This cutting-edge technology utilizes therapeutic heat to melt and liquefy the hardened oils in the meibomian glands, allowing them to flow more easily and stabilize the tear film. The procedure is gentle, comfortable, and typically takes around 10-12 minutes per eye.

Advantages of MiBo Thermoflo Treatment:

  • Non-Invasive: The MiBo Thermoflo treatment does not involve any surgical procedures, making it a safe and comfortable option for patients.

  • Effective: By improving the quality of the tear film, the treatment helps relieve dry eye symptoms and enhances overall eye comfort.
