Tear Film Innovations iLux Treatment for Dry Eye Disease & MGD

Do you have any of the following symptoms:

• Eyes feel gritty, itchy or irritated?
• The feeling of having something in your eye?
• Excessive eye watering, especially after dryness?
• Difficulty wearing contact lenses for extended periods?
• Blurred vision?

If so, you may have Dry Eye Disease. Glands in your eyelids produce an oil called meibum which is spread over your eyes each time you blink. Normal meibum is thin and clear, like olive oil. Over time, the meibum in the glands can become less like olive oil, and instead becomes cloudy and more solid.

When this happens, the function of the glands can slow down, they may become blocked, and eventually they may stop producing meibum permanently. This condition is called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), and studies have shown that 86% of dry eye patients have MGD.

We are now able to offer a new treatment to treat the blocked glands in your eyelids. If you would like to find out more about dry eye treatment with iLux, please call us at 310-659-2020 or email bheyeguy@gmail.com to arrange an appointment.
