ETOBICOKE DRY EYE TREATMENTS
TREATMENT & MANAGEMENT OF DRY EYE
Individuals with Dry Eye often get some relief with the usage of topical eye drops and supplements. Below are a few examples of this type of Dye Eye Management.
Topical Eye Drops
- Lubricating eye drops, gels, and ointments are important to help regenerate injured and inflamed superficial eye tissues. Preservative-free and phosphate-free drops reduce both the risk of damage to the cells on the eye’s front surface and an imbalance of the natural tear film.
- Short-term and long-term prescription eye drop treatments are available to combat eye infections, inflammation, and to produce enhanced quality and quantity of tears.
Supplements
- Nutritional supplements, including omega-3 fatty acids EPA, DHA, and omega-6 GLA, are recommended long-term management strategies for chronic dry eye disease. They are associated with improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and increasing the production of tears.

Blepharo Microexfoliation (Bleph-Ex)
Blepharo Microexfoliation (Bleph-Ex)
Bleph ex is an in-office treatment designed to clean the eyelid margins and lash line that have accumulated excess bacteria or demodex mites associated with blepharitis.
The device employs a small, rotating medical-grade sponge to gently exfoliate the upper and lower lids, effectively removing bacterial debris and biofilm.
This procedure is particularly effective when combined with meibomian gland heat therapy, supporting healthy meibomian gland function. As a result, it helps to alleviate symptoms of chronic dry eyes and reduces the risk of recurring infections, such as styes.
Treatment Protocols
• Treatment is recommended every 6 to 12 months, depending on the severity of the condition.
• Ongoing at home management helps to maintain results overtime.

Thermal Pulsation – iLux
Thermal Pulsation – iLux
I-Lux is a light based in-office treatment that targets meibomian gland dysfunction, a major contributor of dry eye disease.
The procedure administers therapeutic heat to the eyelids and then expresses the oil directly from the blocked glands. Once the glands are unblocked, oil easily flows through those glands with every natural blink to hydrate and oxygenate the surface of the eye. This helps to relieve symptoms of dry eye including tearing, redness and irritation.

• Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) / Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
• Ocular rosacea
• Chronic styes
• Chalazia (eyelid cysts)
• Demodex
How IPL Works:
IPL uses light-based technology to gently heat and clear blockages in the eyelid’s oil glands, reduce inflammation, and improve tear film stability. Patients often experience noticeable relief after just a few sessions, with long-term improvements in both comfort and eye health.
Benefits of IPL for Dry Eye:
• Reduces redness and inflammation
• Improves oil gland function
• Decreases dependency on eye drops

Low Level Light Therapy - LM™ LLLT
Low Level Light Therapy - LM™ LLLT
Management of Styes, Chalazia, Demodex, Blepharitis, & Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Light Modulation™ LLLT is a safe, non-invasive therapy that emits specific wavelengths of red to near-infrared LED light energy to help to stimulate proper functioning of oil glands, decrease inflammation of the upper and lower eyelids, and stabilize the tear layer on the ocular surface. This is achieved by a process called photobiomodulation.
LLLT stimulates endogenous heating to both eyelids, creating energy production within the cells of the meibomian glands. This causes the meibum to soften, blockages are broken down, and proper functioning of the oil glands is restored. This leads to a stabilized lipid layer and repair of the eye’s surface, while also treating chalazia and styes.
The technology can also reduce the number of bacteria and mites along the lid margins, which are key contributors to the progression of blepharitis, chalazia , and dry eye disease
