Treatment — Mile High Dry Eye

Dry Eye Treatment

The treatment for dry eye depends on the type of dry eye that you have, the severity of the condition and factors specific to your lifestyle demands and needs.

OTC Dry Eye Products

There are tons of OTC options but which ones work and which don’t. Depending on the type of dry eye you have determining the proper products to use can make a big difference. We are here to help guide you and provide the best options.

Prescription Treatments

When OTC products do not do enough we often go the Rx drops such as Restasis, Xiidra, and Cequa. These options can be very effective and provide significant relief of dry eye symptoms by treating the underlying inflammation that causes dry eye and allowing you to make more and better tears. Punctal Plugs are also a good option for people who have dry eye due to aqueous deficiency.

In Office Dry Eye Treatment Procedures

Recently the FDA approval of Intense Pulse Light (IPL) to treat dry eye has revolutionized how dry eye is treated. Through a series of in office treatments that only take 15 minutes per session we are able to give significant relief of dry eye and reduce or eliminate the need to use OTC and Rx dry eye products. Optlight by Lumenis is now offered in our office.
