Advanced Dry Eye Treatments in White Rock, BC
At White Rock Optometry, our eye doctors understand that dry eye is more than just discomfort—it's a condition that can affect your vision, daily routine, and quality of life. That’s why we offer advanced dry eye diagnostics and treatments to get to the root of the problem and deliver lasting relief.
Using the latest technology—including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), radiofrequency (RF), BlephEx®, and more—we personalize your treatment plan based on your unique symptoms and tear film profile.
How We Diagnose Dry Eye at White Rock Optometry
Effective treatment begins with a thorough evaluation. During your visit, we’ll:
- Evaluate your tear film stability and tear production
- Use meibography to assess your meibomian glands
- Measure inflammation levels and ocular surface health
- Review your medical history, screen for blepharitis, allergies, or systemic contributors
This allows us to tailor a plan that targets the exact cause—not just the symptoms—of your dry eye condition.
Advanced Dry Eye Treatments We Offer
We provide several non-invasive, in-office therapies designed to restore comfort and improve tear quality:
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
A gentle light treatment that reduces inflammation and abnormal blood vessels around the eyelids. IPL is especially effective for dry eye linked to rosacea or ocular inflammation.
- Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy
RF uses gentle heat to stimulate oil gland function, improving tear quality and reducing evaporative dry eye. It’s comfortable, relaxing, and offers visible results.
- Meibomian Gland Expression
We manually clear blocked glands to restore natural oil flow, a key step for long-term relief from meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
- BlephEx® Eyelid Cleaning
An in-office procedure that removes bacteria, biofilm, and debris from your eyelid margins—perfect for patients with blepharitis or recurring irritation.
- Zocular® Eyelid Treatment
Formulated to treat eyelid-related dry eye conditions, Zocular helps reduce inflammation and improve comfort in patients with chronic blepharitis or styes.
