DRY EYE
Dry Eye is a chronic, progressive eye disorder with many treatment options. We passionately and aggressively treat dry eye here at Edgewood Eye Center. The majority of dry eye is caused by inflammation in the oil glands (Meibomian glands) of the eyelids. This vicious cycle of inflammation disrupts oil production, which leads to eventual oil gland damage/destruction. We utilize a multi-treatment approach to truly restore oil gland function and improve your quality of life.

Edgewood Eye Center is proud to offer the Lumenis Optilight. Lumenis, the inventor of IPL or (Intense Pulsed Light), is the first and only IPL that's FDA-approved for the management of dry eye disease due to MGD (Meibomian Gland Dysfunction).
OptiLight elevates dry eye management with Lumenis’ patented Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT™) and user-centered design. Optilight treats the root cause of dry eye which is chronic inflammation. It's a quick 15-20 minute drop free, drug free, light-based treatment, that targets the root causes of dry eye and blepharitis. It also treats inflammatory conditions around the eyes such as ocular rosacea and telangiectasia, which lead to ocular surface conditions such as dry eye.

Dry Eye Kit

The Dry Eye Kit includes a heat mask, Ocusoft Lid Scrub, and Retaine MGD in one convenient travel package. The combination of these three key products addresses not only the symptoms of dry, irritated eyes but also the root cause. Heat, cleanse, and moisturize for a complete therapy regimen.

BlephEx® is a painless in-office procedure performed by your eyecare professional or trained technician. A revolutionary new patented BlephEx® handpiece is used to very precisely spin a soft medical grade micro-sponge along the edge of your eyelids and lashes. This procedure effectively removes years of accumulated bacterial biofilm, much like a dental cleaning removes accumulated plaque, also a biofilm. Once the biofilm is removed, your eyelids are cleaner and healthier. A healthy eyelid is critical for normal tear production.
The patented micro-sponge is disposable and for optimal cleaning and exfoliating, a fresh clean one is used for each eye. The eyes are rinsed well afterwards.
The procedure lasts about 6 – 8 minutes. Most patients simply report a tickling sensation. A numbing drop is usually placed in each eye prior to treatment for increased comfort.
After the procedure, you may resume normal activities. Home cleaning regimes can continue but are are only semi-effective. BlephEx® should be repeated every 4-6 months as determined by your eye doctor.
The sooner in life that BlephEx® is begun as a routine element of eye care, the better the long-term results. If you wait until you have symptoms before seeking treatment, much damage may already be done to your tear glands.
