Optical Illusions proudly offers a variety of dry eye treatments and therapies to best suit your needs. Through the use of cutting-edge technology like the Equinox Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) and TearCare System, we can treat your specific issues related to dry and irritated eyes.

When it comes to treating dry eye syndrome there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution, and our team will work with you to find the treatment option that works best for you.

Some of our treatments include:

Artificial Tears & Medicated Eye Drops

Artificial tears are a special type of eye drop that can provide the moisture and lubrication that your eyes may be lacking.

Medicated eye drops are a different kind of eye drop compared to artificial tears in that they are medicated specifically to stimulate tear production.

Oasis Punctal Plugs

Our team is specially trained in inserting special devices, known as punctal plugs, into the duct openings of your eyes. These plugs are designed to help manage how quickly your tears drain, allowing your tears to stay on your eyes longer. This process ensures that your eyes stay hydrated and comfortable.

This procedure can be done in our office and only takes a few minutes to complete.

Optase Hyaluronic Acid-Based Eyedrops

We are proud to feature a range of Optase dry eye products. These special eye drops are designed with hyaluronic acid—a chemical that binds to and retains any water it contacts, even your tears! By holding on to the moisture provided by these products, your eyes can start experiencing the comfort that they deserve.

Optase Heating Masks & Lid Wipes

One of the most common problems we treat in dry eye therapy is meibomian gland dysfunction. This condition can lead to blockages in the glands of your eyelids, which are responsible for producing the oils that prevent your tears from evaporating.

Heating masks and lid wipe treatments can help eliminate these blockages to help allow a healthy flow of oils to your tear film. We offer these treatments in-office or as products you can take home for your own personal use!

Zocular Eyelid System Treatment

Zocular Eye System Treatment (ZEST) is an in-office lid cleaning treatment that deeply cleans the margins of your eyelids. This procedure is a noninvasive, comfortable treatment that will help improve the flow of oils from your meibomian glands, directly targeting issues related to meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis.

Omega-3 Supplements

Certain dietary supplements rich in omega-3s can help manage dry eye symptoms. These supplements can improve oil production from your meibomian glands while simultaneously decreasing inflammation around your eyes.

Marco Equinox Low Level Light Therapy

The Equinox LLLT mask utilizes medical grade LEDs for light modulation, a photobiomodulation technology that is indicated for the application periorbital heat to the eyelids to treat conditions such as Meibomian Gland Disfunction (MGD), Blepharitis, Chalazion, and Stye.

Sight Sciences TearCare Thermal System

The TearCare System is a heat and expression device designed to leverage intelligent therapeutic heat and expression to evacuate obstructive Meibomian Gland Disease (MGD)
