Problem: ocular rosacea, meibomian gland dysfunction, styes, chalzia, blepharitis
This exciting, new technology offers not only dry eye relief, but also aesthetic benefits! IPL, or intense pulse light, is FDA approved for the treatment of dry eye disease caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. Light therapy helps reduce inflammatory mediators and rejuvenate meibomian glands.
Zest Treatment
Problem: blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, ocular rosacea
Solution: This in office treatment targets Staphylococcus and demodex bacteria around the lid margin, successfully breaking down the biofilm and offering immediate relief and comfort. The lids and eyes feel refreshed and the results are maintained with an at home maintenance plan prescribed by Dr. Tinari. Perfect for those suffering from rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, those who regularly get eyelash extensions or lash lifts, or for anyone who is suffering from allergies and irritated, puffy lids.
Miboflo Treatment
Problem: meibomian gland dysfunction, ocular rosacea, styes
Solution: Meibomian glands surround the upper and lower eyelids and produce oils that drain into the tear film to keep the ocular surface moisturized. Over time, inflammation can cause these glands to become obstructed or even atrophy, leading to symptoms like ocular fatigue, eyestrain, burning, itching and tearing. This in office lid treatment involves the application of infrared heat along the lid margins to effectively unclog blocked glands and lubricate the ocular surface. Dr. Tinari will also provide you with an at home maintenance program to maintain the results of the procedure. A scan of the lids is performed (meibography) before your session in order to photodocument your progress.
Problem: dry eye disease, corneal erosion, neurotropic keratitis, corneal ulcer
Many medical advancements have been made over the years for several eye conditions and one of the most promising involves the use of regenerative tissue for healing the ocular surface. Amniotic membranes are derived from donated placental tissue and can be placed on the cornea to heal several sight-threatening conditions including corneal ulcers, recurrent corneal erosions, abrasions, punctate keratitis, inflammation associated with ocular surgery, EBMD and more. These membranes display anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-fibrotic properties and release stem cells and potent growth factors which regenerate the corneal tissue. Dr. Tinari offers amniotic membranes for patients suffering from ocular surface disease and has seen the incredible healing benefits of this regenerative treatment.
Problem: Sjogren’s syndrome, dry eye disease, neurotrophic keratitis
Dr. Tinari now offers another option for patients suffering from moderate to severe dry eye disease! Autologous serum tears involves taking a sample of the patient’s blood and creating a customized blend of growth factors from the blood and plasma to heal and regenerate the cells of the cornea. Serum tears can be used with other dry eye therapies to provide ultimate ocular comfort and results. Learn more about Vital Tears.
Punctal Plugs
Problem: aqueous deficiency, ABMD
Silicone punctal plugs are inserted into the tear duct in order to help boost tear volume in patients with aqueous deficient dry eye and corneal dystrophies.
