Comprehensive Diagnosis and Treatment Plans

At Kleinwood Vision, we specialize in diagnosing dry eye with a detailed approach that includes today’s top tools and techniques. We begin by discussing your medical background to spot any hidden factors that may be contributing. Then we use advanced methods like tear film imaging and meibography to look closely at your meibomian glands and analyze tear production and quality.

Once we have a clear picture, we build a treatment plan that’s focused on what’s causing your dry eye and how it shows up for you. For example, if tear production is low, we may recommend targeted drops that improve tear flow or help keep moisture on the surface longer. If your lifestyle includes long hours in front of screens, we might suggest dry eye glasses that reduce glare and help maintain eye hydration.

In some cases, we use advanced technology to go further. Thermal pulsation therapy is one such option—it applies gentle heat and pressure to treat blocked meibomian glands, which can improve both function and comfort.

Our focus is always on helping you feel better, not just masking the symptoms. With this personalized and accurate approach, we aim to give every patient the best possible dry eye management experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main causes of dry eyes?

Dry eyes are often caused by a mix of factors such as aging, hormonal changes, long-term contact lens use, environmental conditions, and medical conditions like autoimmune disorders. Screen use, medications, or low humidity can also contribute by reducing tear production or increasing evaporation.

What are the basic treatments for dry eyes?

The simplest treatments include over-the-counter artificial tears, lubricating ointments, and warm compresses. Managing environmental triggers and adjusting screen habits can also help. For persistent symptoms, prescription medications and in-office treatments may be needed.

How do punctal plugs work for dry eyes?

Punctal plugs are tiny, biocompatible devices inserted into the tear ducts to block drainage. By keeping more of your natural tears on the surface of your eyes, they help maintain moisture longer and reduce dryness.

Can diet or lifestyle changes help with dry eye symptoms?

Yes. Adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet, staying hydrated, taking regular screen breaks, and using a humidifier at home or work can significantly improve dry eye symptoms over time.

What advanced treatments are available for severe dry eyes?

In more advanced cases, we may recommend thermal pulsation therapy, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, or autologous serum eye drops. These methods target inflammation, blocked glands, or improve the composition of tears for longer-lasting comfort.

What are autologous blood serum drops?

These drops are made from a small sample of your own blood. After processing, the serum is used as a highly customized eye drop that mimics natural tears and promotes healing on the eye’s surface.

Are there any new pharmaceutical treatments for dry eyes?

Yes. Recent medications like pilocarpine and cevimeline A drops target inflammation and tear instability at the cellular level. They’re often prescribed when over-the-counter options fail to provide consistent relief.

What role do contact lenses play in managing dry eyes?

Certain specialty contact lenses, such as scleral lenses, can help manage dry eye by creating a protective moisture barrier over the cornea. However, poorly fitted or traditional lenses may worsen symptoms, so evaluation by a specialist is key.

How can I tell if I have dry eyes?

Common symptoms include stinging, burning, a gritty feeling, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light. If you're experiencing these regularly, a dry eye evaluation can confirm the diagnosis and pinpoint the cause.

What self-care measures can I take for dry eyes?

In addition to using artificial tears, you can protect your eyes from wind and dry air, practice eyelid hygiene, take breaks during screen use, and apply warm compresses to improve oil flow from the glands along your eyelids.

Innovative Dry Eye Therapies for Lasting Comfort

At Kleinwood Vision, we focus on real solutions that provide long-term comfort for patients dealing with dry eye. Our range of therapies is designed to improve everyday vision and eye comfort without relying solely on over-the-counter products.

Punctal plugs are one simple but powerful option. These small inserts are placed into your tear ducts to help keep moisture on your eyes for longer periods. This method is especially helpful when dry eye stems from quick tear evaporation. It’s quick, low-risk, and easily reversible if needed.

We also offer Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, a treatment first used for skin conditions that now shows great promise for dry eye. IPL targets inflammation and helps unclog the meibomian glands by gently heating the area, improving the quality of your natural tears while easing redness and discomfort.
