2026 has truly been a year of blessings, from settling into our new location to having the honor of walking in support of women in medicine . We’re incredibly grateful for every moment and for the amazing support from everyone who showed up for us. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Here’s the truth no one talks about: waterproof mascara + liner don’t just stay put… they cling to your lash line.

That’s a problem because your lash line is where your oil glands live, the ones that keep your tears from evaporating too fast.

When you wear waterproof formulas:

• They’re harder to remove → more rubbing = more irritation
• They can block those tiny oil glands
• They disrupt your tear film (aka your eye’s natural hydration system)

Result?

Burning. Grittiness. That “why are my eyes so tired?” feeling.

And the worst part? The longer it lasts, the worse it can get.

Try switching to non-waterproof on most days + be gentle when removing. Your eyes will thank you.

Hypochlorous acid works well for dry eye and lid hygiene because it’s both effective and very gentle.

* Kills bacteria that contribute to Blepharitis
* Reduces inflammation, improving comfort and redness
* Keeps Meibomian glands clear, helping prevent tear evaporation
* Mimics your body’s natural defense, so it’s safe for daily use

Bottom line: it cleans, calms, and supports tear quality all without irritating your eyes…which is why I use it ALL DAY LONG!

The truth is… work never clocks out. It follows you to dinner, into the car, on vacation, in the middle of the night. Your mind is always on…fixing, planning, worrying, building.

No off switch. Just you and the vision, 24/7.

Annoying her is my full-time job. I exist solely to test her limits.

Younger sister duties: annoy first…everything else comes after.

We see it all the time:

Patient feels a little better → skips follow-up
No maintenance treatments…
At-home therapy? Lid hygiene? Nope…”I got lazy”

Then the dryness comes right back…

Here’s the truth:
Dry eye is chronic and inflammatory.
It’s not a one-and-done fix. It’s ongoing care.

Consistency = control
Skipping steps = setbacks

If you want lasting relief, you have to stay on the plan. Your eyes will thank you 👁️✨

“Work with family, it’ll be fun” 😭

My sister this morning:
“I can’t come in… it’s an emergency”

My sister 3 hours later on Instagram:
🍾💃🏽 “LIVING MY BEST LIFE!!!” 💃🏽🍾

Me at work covering her shift like:
“Oh wow… she’s fighting for her life…on the dance floor” 😒

IPL for dry eye is technique-driven and highly dependent on expertise. Proper patient selection, settings, and treatment protocols matter. When it’s done incorrectly or generically, results can be minimal, or ineffective.
Do your research before picking a provider to treat your dye eye. What IPL are they using? What other techniques do they use along with IPL? What are their protocols in treating dry eye?

Getting her eyes checked because there’s no clinical explanation for that man

If your tear film isn’t stable BEFORE surgery, you’re setting yourself up for a rough recovery.

Blepharoplasty can temporarily worsen dry eye, which isnormal. But if you already have an unstable tear film going in, post-op dryness can become significantly more severe, uncomfortable, and prolonged.

This can mean:
• Burning, irritation, and redness
• Blurry or fluctuating vision
• Slower healing and more frustration overall

Here’s the part many people skip:
Optimize your ocular surface BEFORE surgery.

That means actually treating dry eye, not ignoring it.

Think:
• Tear film stabilization
• Managing inflammation
• Improving oil gland function
• Consistent, guided treatment (not random drops)

A healthy tear film going into surgery = a much smoother recovery coming out.

Don’t wait until after surgery to fix a problem you already had.

Take care of the surface first. Your future eyes will thank you.

She asked, I thought I replied. Turns out i did, but in my head.

🌅 Worse in the MORNING?
→ Think Meibomian Gland Dysfunction
Your oil glands aren’t doing their job overnight, so your tears evaporate fast when you wake up.

🌙 Worse at NIGHT?
→ Think Aqueous Tear Deficiency
After a full day of screen time + reduced blinking, your eyes run out of tears.

⚠️ But here’s the catch:
Most people actually have a mix of both

That’s why eye drops alone don’t fix the problem.

👉 The key is finding the root cause.
