Experience relief from symptoms such as dryness and irritation caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.

Talk to our staff today about improving your symptoms associated with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) / dry eye. We use the latest technology called iLUX® to heat and compress glands in the eyelids of adult patients with a specific type of dry eye, called evaporative dry eye, which is caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).

1. Our physicians assess your eyelids to determine the treatment zones. One of our technicians then performs the iLUX® procedure.
2. Your eyelid is held between the soft, biocompatible pads of the iLUX® device Smart Tip Patient Interface. For comfort, you may keep your eyes closed.
3. Therapeutic, light-based heat will begin to warm the blocked glands to a safe temperature to help soften and release the oil. The meibum melts and our technician has the ability to apply additional heat or pressure dependent on your needs.
4. Through compression, the oil is expressed from the glands and treatment is complete.
5. Following the iLUX® treatment, our physicians will in some patients will place a silicone punctal plug in the lower punctum of each eyelid which will prevent the outflow of tears from the eyes.
6. You will be treated with a mild steroid drop for 2 weeks along with an eyelid cleanser called Avenova® which cleanses the lids with Hypochlorous Acid in order to rejuvenate your eyes.
