— our 90-day protocol —

Three months. Three phases. One measurable improvement.

— phase 01 · diagnose —

Days 1–7: find the cause.

An hour-long evaluation maps your meibomian glands, measures tear film thickness, and quantifies your OSDI score. We pinpoint whether your dry eye is evaporative (gland dysfunction), aqueous (low tear volume), or mixed.

Weeks 2–8: in-office + at-home.

Most patients combine in-office IPL or LipiFlow (4 sessions) with an at-home routine: warm compresses, lid hygiene, omega-3, and prescription drops if indicated (Restasis, Xiidra, Cequa, Tyrvaya).

Weeks 9–12: measure & sustain.

At week 12 we re-image your meibomian glands and re-score your OSDI. 78% of patients see measurable improvement (≥30% OSDI reduction). We taper your protocol to maintenance · usually a quick at-home routine and an annual touch-up IPL.
