LUMECCA-I is a light-based treatment designed to target the meibomian glands, which are essential for keeping your eyes comfortable and hydrated. When these glands become clogged or don’t function properly, it can lead to dry eye symptoms. LUMECCA-I gently heats and clears the glands, improving the flow of healthy oils into your tears. This helps stabilize the tear film, reduce irritation, and provide long-lasting relief from dry eye.

Temporary fixes like warm compresses, eye masks, or omega supplements can relieve dry eye symptoms, but they don’t address the underlying problem. Untreated issues like blocked meibomian glands or eyelid inflammation can worsen over time. Targeted in-clinic therapies restore natural oil flow, reduce inflammation, and provide lasting relief.

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is one of the most common causes of dry eye. These tiny oil glands in your eyelids keep your tears from evaporating too quickly. When they become blocked or produce poor-quality oil, your eyes can feel dry, gritty, and irritated. With the right treatment, we can help restore gland function and improve long-term comfort.

Sjogren’s Syndrome & Dry Eye

Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune condition that can affect your moisture-producing glands, including those that keep your eyes lubricated. People with Sjogren’s are much more likely to experience dry eye, which can feel gritty, burning, or like something is stuck in your eyes. Over time, chronic dry eye can cause irritation, blurred vision, and discomfort.

Understanding the connection between Sjogren’s and dry eye can help you take steps to manage symptoms and protect your eye health!

Many people think all eye drops are the same, but there’s a big difference between artificial tears and medical prescription drops. Artificial tears are designed to keep your eyes comfortable and hydrated, while prescription drops are meant to treat specific eye conditions under a doctor’s guidance. 💧👁️

Manual meibomian gland expression is an important step in dry eye treatment. After therapies like radiofrequency or intense pulsed light, the heat helps to soften the thickened oils inside your meibomian glands. Your optometrist then uses gentle expression to clear out these blockages. This process helps unclog the glands so your natural oils can flow freely and mix properly with your tear film.
