Targeted Dry Eye Treatment: Our Clinic’s Approach

WMEC 501292 dry eye blogDry eye syndrome is more than an inconvenience. It can significantly impact your quality of life.

Our friendly and professional team at Wesson and Mothershed Eye Center uses advanced technology to diagnose and treat dry eye with precision. Our goal is to alleviate symptoms and address the root causes of dry eye, ensuring long-term relief and comfort for our patients. Let's explore how we determine the right dry eye treatment for you, focusing on the benefits of eye care technology, including the revolutionary Oculus Keratograph.

Harnessing the Power of Eye Care Technology

The cornerstone of our approach to dry eye treatment is utilizing cutting-edge eye care technology. The Oculus Keratograph, a standout tool in our arsenal, exemplifies this. This advanced device offers a detailed analysis of a patient’s ocular surface, providing invaluable insights into the underlying causes of dry eye symptoms. By combining precision imaging with comprehensive analysis, the Oculus Keratograph enables us to tailor treatments that address specific needs, ensuring effective and lasting relief.

Tailored Dry Eye Testing for Personalized Treatment

Our clinic believes in a personalized approach to dry eye diagnosis and treatment. To this end, we offer a range of tests, including:

Corneal & Conjunctival Staining: This test helps us visualize and assess the health of the surface of your eyes, identifying any damage or irregularities contributing to dry eye symptoms.

Meibography: A specialized technique for examining your meibomian glands, which play a critical role in tear film stability. Meibography helps us determine if your dry eye symptoms are due to gland dysfunction.

Tear Film Analysis: Using measures like Tear Meniscus measurement, Tear Break-Up Time (TBUT), and Fluorescein green dye, we can evaluate the quantity and quality of your tear film, providing insights into your specific type of dry eye condition.

Each of these tests is customizable to meet the unique needs of our patients. By thoroughly understanding the specific characteristics of your dry eye condition, we can devise a treatment plan that targets the root cause — whether it's inadequate tear production or poor tear quality.

Beyond Guesswork: Achieving Targeted Dry Eye Relief

Our commitment to leveraging advanced diagnostic tools like the Oculus Keratograph and offering a suite of specialized tests means that we never rely on guesswork. We understand that dry eye syndrome is a multifaceted condition, and our comprehensive evaluation process ensures we identify the precise factors at play in your case. With this knowledge, we can implement targeted treatments that range from lifestyle adjustments and eyedrops to more advanced therapies designed to provide you with the relief you deserve.

Our clinic's approach to diagnosing and treating dry eye syndrome is rooted in a deep understanding of the condition's complexity and a commitment to personalized care. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology and offering customizable testing ensures that each patient receives a treatment plan that addresses their unique needs.
