All these, lead to inflammation and damage of the eye\u2019s surface. Tears are essential for maintaining eye health and comfort by providing moisture, nutrients, and protection against infections. When the tear film is insufficient, the eye becomes vulnerable to irritation and even corneal damage over time. A healthy surface is not only important for comfort and surface integrity but also primordial for quality vision.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Factors such as aging, hormonal changes, environmental conditions, prolonged screen time, and certain medications can exacerbate dry eye. It can also be associated with autoimmune conditions like Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, which affect tear production and quality. Lid issues can also play a role.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dry eye disease is multifactorial. At the Dry Eye Institute, a comprehensive overview of the particularities of each patient is considered before starting therapy. Therapies are tailored to specific causes, keeping in mind that many factors can be at play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without proper treatment, dry eye disease can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort, corneal damage, poor quality of vision and very often reduces quality of

IPL also helps reduce bacteria and mites that can worsen symptoms, making it particularly beneficial for patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Our clinic uses the only Health Canada approved device for specific use in dry eyes. Lumenis, the maker of Optilight, was the first to develop IPL for dry eyes and is a world leader in Ophthalmology technology.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy: <\/strong><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using low-energy, high-frequency electrical currents, RF therapy stimulates collagen production and enhances meibomian gland function. The heat generated unclog glands, improves tear film quality, and reduces dry eye symptoms.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or Serum Eye Drops: <\/strong><br \/>For severe cases, autologous serum or PRP eye drops made from the patient\u2019s own blood can help heal the eye\u2019s surface. These drops contain growth factors that support tissue repair and enhance tear film stability, particularly beneficial for patients with corneal damage or those who do not respond to other treatments. Many insurance companies cover these. Speak to our team if you have no insurance, we exclusively have access to government-subsidized serum tears for severe cases. <br \/><br \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong>Other: <\/strong><br \/>Amniotic
