In recent years, advancements in diagnostic tools and treatment technology have transformed the way eye care professionals identify and manage dry eye. At Westchester Eyes, we use some of the most advanced equipment available to deliver accurate diagnoses and effective, personalized treatments for our patients.
 

Why Dry Eye Requires an Advanced Approach

Dry eye disease is a complex condition that often involves more than just insufficient tear production. In many cases, it’s linked to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), where the glands in the eyelids become blocked or produce poor-quality oils. These oils are essential for preventing tears from evaporating too quickly, and when MGD is present, traditional treatments like artificial tears often provide only temporary relief. 
 

Because dry eye can have multiple underlying causes, including inflammation, poor tear composition, and gland dysfunction, it requires an advanced, targeted approach that goes beyond symptom management to address the root problems. Using modern diagnostics and specialized therapies, optometrists can identify the specific factors contributing to each patient’s condition and create customized treatment plans for lasting results.
 

TearLab ScoutPro

Accurate diagnosis is the first step to effective treatment. The TearLab ScoutPro measures the osmolarity of your tears - a key biomarker in identifying dry eye disease. By quickly and precisely assessing tear quality, the TearLab system allows us to detect even early-stage dry eye, often before symptoms become severe. This means we can create proactive treatment plans to protect your eyes and maintain your comfort.
 

EPI-C Plus IPL + LLLT

The EPI-C Plus system combines Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy with Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) to treat dry eye at its root cause. IPL targets inflammation and abnormal blood vessels that contribute to meibomian gland dysfunction, while LLLT gently stimulates gland activity and improves oil production in your tears. Together, these therapies help restore a healthy tear film and reduce irritating symptoms.
 

OPE® IPL

OPE® IPL technology offers a gentle yet powerful way to address chronic inflammation and blockages in the eyelid glands. By applying controlled pulses of light, this treatment improves gland function, reduces redness, and supports overall eye health — all without invasive procedures or downtime.
 

MiBo Thermoflo

The MiBo Thermoflo is a therapeutic device that delivers consistent, soothing heat to the eyelids. This deep-penetrating warmth liquefies hardened oils and clears blockages in the meibomian glands, allowing for a more stable tear film. Patients often notice immediate relief and improved eye comfort after treatment.
