Dry eye condition affects your tear film. A smooth and stable film of tears helps you have a clear vision. Dry eye occurs when you lack enough tears or when tears evaporate too fast. Some prominent symptoms are burning, itching, redness, and a gritty feeling in the eyes.
Causes could be diverse - ranging from lifestyle and environmental factors to underlying conditions. That’s why, dry eye is considered a multifactorial disease. Expert eye specialists at Sohana Hospital look at your symptoms and conduct appropriate eye tests. It helps us identify the root cause of the problem to give you the right treatment.
If you suffer from Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a hard-to-treat leading cause of dry eyes, we have the breakthrough Lipiflow therapy for you.
We use a device which fits on your eyelids and produces heat to dilute the hardened oil-like substance in the glands. It also opens the clogged glands with pulsed pressure to remove the hardened oil-like substance from the glands. The process enables the glands to start producing healthy oils to check tear-evaporation. Just 12 minutes in the doctor’s cabin, and you’re done with Lipiflow therapy!
It is another procedure to cure patients suffering from meibomian gland dysfunction due to rosacea. Our eye specialists use a special light to block the tiny blood vessels that supply the glands in the eyelids. This reduces inflammation in your eyelids and ocular surface. It also helps produce healthy lipids that control evaporation of tears. It is done as an out-patient procedure in the doctor’s office so that no hospital stay is needed, and you get freedom from dry eye condition.
Punctal plugs are tiny medical devices inserted into the tear ducts. They help retain moisture on the eye's surface. Expert ophthalmologists at Sohana Hospital carefully place these plugs in the puncta (tear drainage openings) to reduce tear drainage and keep the eyes hydrated.These plugs are made of materials like silicone or collagen, and are available in temporary and permanent options.
Punctal plugs serve as an effective treatment for dry eye by prolonging the presence of natural tears. Punctal plugs can also check dry eye symptoms like irritation and inflammation.
Many patients find them beneficial when artificial tears or other treatments fail to provide relief.
