How Our Dry Eye Clinic Treats the Source, Not Just the Symptoms

If you try drops, gels, or warm compresses and still feel dryness, irritation, or burning, you're not alone. Many people live with dry eye symptoms because most solutions only treat the surface of the problem. Most solutions offer temporary relief but don't fix what is causing the discomfort. 

 
At Eye2Eye in Alexandria, we take a different approach. Our advanced dry eye clinic uses the latest FDA-approved technology to target the root causes of dryness, inflammation, and tear instability. We want our patients to decrease the frequency and try to eliminate using drops every day to stay comfortable.  

 

What Causes Dry Eye? 

Dry eye often develops from: 

• Inflammation in the tear glands or on the eye's surface 
• Blocked or poorly functioning meibomian glands 
• Eyelid issues that affect how well and how often you blink 

When any of these problems occur, tears evaporate too quickly or lack the right balance to protect and hydrate the eyes. This leads to the red, gritty, or tired eyes many people describe. 

 

Advanced Technology That Delivers Real Relief 

At Eye2Eye, we customize your treatment plan based on what's causing your symptoms. Our advanced tools include: 

• OptiLight IPL: A light-based treatment that reduces inflammation and calms the ocular surface 
• OptiPLUS: A gentle thermal therapy that opens and clears clogged oil glands, restoring balance to your tear film 
• OptiLIFT: A targeted therapy to support lid structure and improve blinking. It benefits patients with loose lower lids or facial nerve issues like Bell's Palsy. 

Each of these treatments plays a vital role in improving tear quality, reducing inflammation, and giving your eyes the relief they need.
