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.

Intense Pulse Light – Eye-Light Optimal Power Energy Technology
Intense Pulse Light – Eye-Light Optimal Power Energy Technology
IPL is a short-pulse light therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to minimize abnormal inflamed blood vessels around the eyelid margins seen in ocular rosacea. IPL’s interaction with the tissues of the eyelids results in increased blood flow and secretion of anti-inflammatory mediators, thereby helping to reduce swelling and discomfort associated with blepharitis and ocular rosacea.
Low Level Light Therapy - LM™ LLLT
Low Level Light Therapy - LM™ LLLT
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. It is involved in reducing inflammation of the upper and lower eyelids and stabilizes the tear layer on the ocular surface. This is achieved by a process called photobiomululation.
Blue & Red Light Mask
Blue & Red Light Mask
Specific wavelengths of light are delivered through Blue and Red Light Masks. They are geared to target different depths of the eyelid, and are used for different conditions.
