Dry Eye Clinic
At Speciality Eyecare Group, Pune, we offer a comprehensive Dry Eye Clinic dedicated to diagnosing, managing, and treating all forms of dry eye disease (DED). Our clinic uses advanced diagnostic tools and personalized treatment plans to provide relief and long-term solutions for patients suffering from dry eye.
Dry Eye Disease (DED) occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to inflammation and discomfort. This can be caused by various factors, including:
- Tear Film Dysfunction: Insufficient or poor-quality tears.
- Environmental Factors: Prolonged screen use, air conditioning, or pollution.
- Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases like Sjögren’s syndrome or other systemic issues.
- Aging: Natural changes in tear production with age.
- Medications: Side effects from antihistamines, antidepressants, or hormone treatments.
Advanced Diagnostics at the
Dry Eye Clinic
Our clinic employs state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to thoroughly evaluate your dry eye condition:
- Tear Film Break-Up Time (TBUT): Measures the stability of the tear film, determining how quickly tears evaporate after blinking.
- Meibography: • Imaging of the Meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily layer of the tear film. Dysfunction here can cause evaporative dry eye.
- 3. Schirmer’s Test: • Measures tear production by assessing how much moisture is produced over a certain time.
Comprehensive
Treatment Options
- Rewetting Eye Drops • Artificial Tears: Lubricating eye drops to relieve dryness.
- LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation Therapy:This advanced, FDA-approved technology applies heat and gentle pressure to the eyelids, improving the function of oil glands and reducing evaporative dry eye.
- Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy:• A non-invasive treatment that targets the Meibomian glands, improves oil production, and reduces inflammation, leading to better tear quality.
- Dietary Supplements: Omega-3 supplements and other essential nutrients to improve tear production and eye health.
- Lifestyle and Environmental Modifications: • Guidance on changes to your daily habits, including screen use, hydration, and environmental factors that can help manage dry eye.
