Dry Eye Therapy in the Annapolis Valley

BlephEx is a painless, in-office treatment that spins a soft, medical-grade sponge along the edge of your eyelids and lashes. It cleans away bacteria, stimulating healthy tear production and leaving you with cleaner, healthier eyelids.

The procedure is quick and relatively painless, with most patients reporting only a tickling sensation during the treatment.

The meibomian glands play a large part in producing high-quality tears to keep the eyes lubricated, so meibography allows us to examine your glands. Meibography is an imaging technology that will enable us to determine whether or not your meibomian glands are producing adequate meibum for your eyes.

If your tear film is dysfunctional, it may lead you to develop dry eye symptoms. A healthy tear film lubricates your eyes, leaving a smooth surface on the cornea. Performing a tear film analysis allows us to see the characteristics of your tear film and if they are contributing to your dry eyes.

If you are interested in our dry eye clinic or have any questions, please do not hesitate to book an appointment to see how we can help.

The Zocular Eyelid System Treatment (ZEST) is a gentle in-office treatment to help provide relief of dry eye. The treatment involves gentle okra-based wipes and cleansers to wipe away bacteria and cater to the intrinsic needs of your eyes.

Osmolarity refers to the quality of your tears or, more specifically, a measure of solid particles in a solution. We will use a tear film analysis to test the osmolarity of your tears.
