What is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry Eye Disease is a complex condition that is caused by insufficient tears, or poor quality tears, that lead to detrimental ocular surface health. The tear film that coats and protects your eye needs to be a careful balance of water, oils, and mucin (protein).
2 Main Types of Dry Eye Disease
Aqueous Deficient Dry Eye
Insufficient tear production due to aging or autoimmune conditions leads to inadequate hydration.
Evaporative Dry Eye
Dysfunction of the meibomian glands, which are responsible for oil production, results in rapid tear evaporation.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Dry Eyes
Dry eye syndrome is more than just an occasional inconvenience; it’s a chronic condition that can affect your comfort, vision, and quality of life. Here are some common symptoms to help you determine if you might be experiencing dry eye:
Persistent Dryness or Grittiness
Burning or Stinging Sensation
Redness and Irritation
Sensitivity to Light (Photophobia)
Blurred Vision or Difficulty Focusing
Eye Fatigue or Heavy Eyes
Excessive Tearing or Watery Eyes

Common Causes of Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease occurs when the eyes can’t produce enough quality tears to keep the surface properly lubricated. Here are common causes:
The Anatomy of Tears
Meibomian Gland xDysfunction (MGD)
Aging
Environmental Factors
Screen Time
Medications
Autoimmune Diseases
Hormonal Changes
How Can Vision Gallery’s Dry Eye Treatment Help?
Step 1: Comprehensive Eye Evaluation
Our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools to examine your tear production, gland health, and the overall surface of your eyes.
The crystal tear report will include:
- Tear film analysis to assess moisture levels
- Meibomian gland imaging to examine oil production
- Inflammation assessment to determine the level of irritation
Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan
Based on your diagnosis, we will create a customized treatment plan designed to address your specific dry eye condition. We offer a range of FDA-approved, non-invasive therapies to reduce inflammation, stimulate tear production, and restore comfort to your eyes.
OptiLight IPL Therapy
OptiLight is the first and only FDA-approved intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy specifically designed for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
How It Works
OptiLight uses precise pulses of light to target inflammation associated with MGD.
The light energy reduces the number of Demodex mites and bacteria around the eye, which are often contributors to inflammation. By stimulating the meibomian glands, OptiLight helps restore healthy oil production, which prolongs tear stability and prevents tears from evaporating too quickly.
Benefits
Reduces inflammation associated with dry eye disease.
Improves tear film stability by enhancing oil production.
Non-invasive and drug-free treatment option.
Improves skin texture and tone.
Reduces fragile blood vessels.
Enhances meibomian gland health.
Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments
RF treatments address dry eye symptoms and offer additional benefits such as skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
How It Works
RF therapy delivers controlled radiofrequency energy to the periorbital area, stimulating collagen production and improving the function of the meibomian glands.
Benefits
Alleviates dry eye symptoms by improving gland function.
Provides aesthetic benefits, including skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.
Can be used alone or alongside other treatment options.
Microblepharoexfoliation (MBE) with Zest
MBE is a gentle procedure that removes biofilm and bacterial toxins from the eyelid margin, which are major contributors to inflammatory dry eye and blepharitis.
How It Works
Using specialized equipment, MBE exfoliates the eyelid margins, effectively removing debris and bacteria that can cause inflammation and disrupt tear production. This process promotes a healthier ocular surface and reduces dry eye symptoms.
Benefits
Improves eyelid hygiene and reduces inflammation.
Enhances the stability and quality of the tear film.
Quick and comfortable in-office procedure.
Meibomian Gland Expression with Mibo Thermaflow
Mibo Thermaflow is a treatment that uses controlled thermal pulsation to liquefy and express hardened oils in the meibomian glands, restoring natural oil flow to the tear film.
How It Works
The device applies gentle heat and pressure to the eyelids, melting the thickened oils and expressing them from the glands. This process clears blockages and improves the quality of the oil layer in the tear film, reducing evaporation and alleviating dry eye symptoms.
Benefits
Restores natural oil flow in the tear film.
Reduces tear evaporation and improves eye comfort.
Non-invasive procedure with minimal discomfort.
