Eye drops can be a satisfying reprieve from dry eyes, but the results are often short-lived.
Reapplying eye drops day in and day out is no longer your only option for relieving the discomfort of dry eye!

Thanks to advancements in technology, IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments can now target common causes of dry eye at the source, offering long-term relief.

Contact us to find out how IPL can help you move forward.

Ever notice how your spreadsheet looks clear in the morning, but reading at night feels harder? It often comes down to viewing distance. 👀

💻 Computer distance: Usually about 20–30 inches away.
📖 Reading distance: Often closer, around 10–14 inches.

Using the same glasses for both can make your eyes work harder to refocus. If you’re noticing strain or difficulty focusing, an eye exam can help determine the best lens options for your daily activities.

Fun fact: Some eye diseases can develop without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. That’s one reason routine eye exams are so important. 👁️

During a comprehensive exam, diagnostic testing helps your eye care team look for early signs of conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Detecting changes early can help protect your long-term vision.

Stay on top of your eye health by scheduling regular eye exams with us.
