LASIK Dry Eye Treatment
Dry Eye
Transient dry eye is a natural consequence of LASIK. Temporary tear enhancers (collagen inserts in the tear drainage system) are provided without cost to our LASIK patients. Usually LASIK dry eye resolves in six months.
Most patients with mild to moderate dry eye can have LASIK safely and successfully. Our practice is a major referral center for patients with dry eye unrelated to LASIK. We have a number of modalities available to relieve and manage dry eye signs and symptoms. We can prepare you for LASIK and keep you comfortable and seeing well after your procedure.
MiBoFlo’s Double eyePAD
The latest version of MiBo uses a double plated applicator to deliver 108 F gentle warmth to the meibomain gland apparatus. Combined with minimal message the glands are rejuvenated and thick lipid deposits are melted. This feature saves time for both the doctor and the patient.
