Dry Eye Therapy in Houston, TX

Dry eye can make everyday activities uncomfortable, especially when symptoms such as burning, irritation, watering, or fluctuating vision keep returning. At Pro-Optix Optometry & Dry Eye Center, we provide personalized dry eye therapy in Houston, TX to identify factors contributing to your symptoms and determine which treatment options may provide relief.

What Is Dry Eye?

Dry eye occurs when your eyes do not produce enough quality tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. Meibomian gland dysfunction is a common contributor to evaporative dry eye because these glands produce the oils that help prevent tears from drying too quickly. Our Houston dry eye care focuses on evaluating your symptoms, tear film, eyelids, and meibomian gland function so we can recommend treatment based on your individual needs.

Common Signs Of Dry Eye

Dry eye symptoms can vary from one person to another. Some common signs include:

• Burning or stinging eyes

• Gritty or scratchy sensations

• Eye redness or irritation

• Excessive watering

• Blurry or fluctuating vision

• Light sensitivity

• Contact lens discomfort
  
  

If these symptoms continue despite using artificial tears or making lifestyle changes, a professional dry eye evaluation can help determine what may be contributing to the problem.

OptiLight IPL

OptiLight by Lumenis is an intense pulsed light treatment used to manage dry eye. The treatment delivers controlled pulses of light to the area below the eyes, helping address inflammation and support healthier meibomian gland function. OptiLight IPL may be recommended for patients whose symptoms are associated with meibomian gland dysfunction or evaporative dry eye.

OptiLIFT

OptiLIFT by Lumenis combines radiofrequency technology with dynamic muscle stimulation. It is designed to support eyelid function by strengthening the muscles involved in blinking while also addressing eyelid tissue. Because complete blinking plays an important role in spreading tears and supporting the meibomian glands, OptiLIFT may be incorporated into a personalized dry eye therapy plan.

Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)

Low-level light therapy uses gentle LED light to warm the eyelids and support meibomian gland function. The warmth can help soften oils trapped within the glands, allowing them to flow more effectively and contribute to a healthier tear film. LLLT is a noninvasive treatment that may be used alone or alongside other dry eye therapies.

Personalized Dry Eye Care

There is no single dry eye treatment that is right for everyone. We evaluate the underlying factors contributing to your discomfort before developing a treatment plan. Depending on your needs, your care may include advanced in-office therapy, home care recommendations, prescription treatments, or a combination of approaches. Our goal is to help patients in Houston manage recurring dry eye symptoms by addressing more than temporary discomfort.
