What Is Dry Eye Disease?

Dry eye is a common eye condition that affects millions of Canadians, and it can develop for many reasons, but it all affects your tear film.

Your tear film is responsible for keeping your eyes hydrated and comfortable. However, if the components in your tear film are unbalanced, it can lead to uncomfortable dry eye symptoms ranging from wateriness to blurry vision and even eye pain.

How We Can Help

One of the most common causes of dry eye symptoms is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), but health conditions, medications, and even aging can also affect your tear film and cause dry eye. 

Our mission is to determine the source of your symptoms using various modern diagnostic technologies and techniques. By uncovering what’s causing your discomfort, we can craft a unique treatment and management strategy to help soothe your discomfort and provide long-lasting relief.

We can recommend numerous strategies ranging from tech-supported therapies to traditional eye drops.

IPL Therapy

Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy from inMode is a common strategy we may use to help address dry eye caused by MGD.

This technology gently warms the meibomian glands in your eyelids to help stimulate oil production. These oils then help stabilize your tear film, soothing your dry eye symptoms.

Like IPL, radiofrequency (RF) therapy from inMode can help stimulate oil production in your meibomian glands and address uncomfortable symptoms associated with MGD.

However, instead of using light, this technology uses a radiofrequency device to gently warm your meibomian glands.

Find lasting comfort with the Jett Plasma Pen, a noninvasive solution that targets the root causes of dry eye. Controlled plasma energy gently stimulates the eyelids and meibomian glands to improve oil flow, reduce inflammation, and support healthier tear production.

Quick, comfortable, and downtime-free, this treatment helps relieve burning, irritation, and fluctuating vision caused by meibomian gland dysfunction.

Benefits of using the Jett Plasma Pen include:

  • Restoring gland function and tear quality
  • Reducing inflammation and eyelid irritation
  • Safe, comfortable, and noninvasive
  • Enhancing comfort for contact lens wearers

Eye drops are a common way to help manage dry eye symptoms, but we offer a variety of prescription eye drops to help address more severe cases.

At Dr. Fink Eye Care & Optical Boutique, we can prescribe Xiidra or Restasis eye drops based on your needs.

Sometimes, a simple strategy like a warm compress may be the answer you need to achieve comfortable vision.

Placing a warm compress on your eyelids can help loosen blockages in your meibomian glands causing MGD, stimulating the flow of oils, and stabilizing your tear film.
