Areas of Expertise
Comprehensive eye exams
Our eye doctor, Dr. Giulia Tinari, provides thorough comprehensive eye exams and screens each patient for glaucoma, corneal disease, cataracts, macular disease and retinal abnormalities.
Dry eye
Did you know that several autoimmune and inflammatory systemic diseases can exacerbate dry eye? Inflammation of the ocular surface can cause blurred vision, eye fatigue, redness, tearing and burning. These symptoms can often interfere with your quality of life. There are several therapeutics available to improve these symptoms and make this chronic disease manageable. Dr. Tinari can customize a treatment regimen for you.
Advanced technology
Achieving the maximum results goes hand in hand with expert knowledge and specialized equipment. Digital refractive technology increases efficiency and accuracy in eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions. We offer retinal imaging and iWellness scans, which helps detect early signs of potentially blinding diseases.
blepharitis
Inflammation of the lid margin, or blepharitis, is the accumulation of bacteria along the lid margins and is often confused with allergies because it causes itching, redness and swelling of the lids. It can be related to skin issues such as eczema, rosacea and psoriasis. This common condition can be treated with in office treatments the day of your exam.
Meibomian gland dysfunction
Dr. Tinari specializes in the treatment and management of MGD, a leading cause of dry eye symptoms. The tear film consists of aqueous, oil and mucin and an imbalance in any of these constituents can lead to dryness and eye fatigue. Dr. Tinari uses updated technology to diagnose MGD and to treat it effectively.
Ocular Rosacea
Ocular rosacea occurs when inflammatory vessels along the lid margins lead to atrophy of the meibomian glands. Once these glands break down, the tear film evaporates quickly and dry eye symptoms worsen. It is important to evaluate for aqueous deficiency as well in order to create the proper treatment plan. Dr. Tinari has invested in the latest FDA approved equipment, Lumenis OptiLight IPL, to target these telangiectatic vessels and rejuvenate the meibomian glands.
“Dropless” Eye Exams
Dr. Tinari continues to invest in the latest diagnostic instrumentation to provide a seamless experience for her patients. Rebound tonometry is used to check eye pressure with accuracy and efficiency while avoiding the use numbing eye drops. Patients can opt for retinal screening photos to capture images of the retinal tissue instead of dilation. “Dropless” eye exams increase comfort for patients while allowing for a comprehensive examination of the ocular structures.

We are here to help
Dry eye and ocular surface disease is often a chronic condition and has several causes including certain medications, autoimmune and inflammatory systemic conditions, contact lenses, and environmental triggers. Dry eye is common after refractive and cataract surgeries and should be managed prior to performing these procedures in order to achieve the best visual outcome. Whether you have been struggling with dry eye symptoms for years or are planning to undergo LASIK or cataract surgery, make an appointment with Dr. Giulia Tinari at her dry eye clinic.
“A thorough eye exam should be performed yearly in order to preserve your precious eyesight. Even if you are 20/20, it’s important to check you ocular health especially if you have a family history of eye disease such as glaucoma, keratoconus, or macular degeneration. An eye exam is more than just checking to see if you need glasses or contacts! The eye is the only organ in the body in which we can directly observe the state of your blood vessels which can lead to early detection of issues such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and heart disease.”
