20/20 Dry Eye Spa is the place to go to for all of your dry eye treatments.
At 20/20 Dry Eye Spa, we recognize how important it is to get to know each patient as an individual in order to set up the correct treatment plan. There is no one-size-fits-all, or one plan that works for everyone when it comes to treating dry eyes; every treatment plan is personalized. There are many options for treating dry eye syndrome, but unfortunately, there is no cure.
Whether the doctors are recommending lifestyle changes, supplements, or a very specific treatment, they believe in a 360 degree approach to dry eyes.
The team at 20/20 Dry Eye Spa treats the cause of the eye problem not just the symptoms. We evaluate the environment and lifestyle of a patient to see if changes can be made to reduce the symptoms of dry eyes. Once we identify the causes, a program is customized to each patient. The mode of treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition. The goal is to help our patients experience relief from the watery, itchy and painful dry eye symptoms. With the proper treatment plan in place, the team will work with the patient to maintain relief over time. Using holistic approaches, combined with recommendations to your lifestyle, we can address and treat your problems and help you function better.
Consider us your one-stop shop for dry eye treatment.

The 2 main root causes of dry eye is obstruction of the meibomian glands and inflammation. Our 20/20 Dry Eye Spa offers 2 in-office procedures, Miboflo or Lipiflow, which both assists in removing meibomian gland obstruction. The most effective holistic way to alleviate inflammation is to use IPL, Intense Pulsed Light.
Our dry eye outcomes are significantly superior when both the obstruction and the inflammation are treated simultaneously during the same appointment than if they were done separately. In other words, two treatments working synergistically better together than one.
We have created special Dry Eye Spa packages to offer comprehensive treatments that include not only the Dry Eye Spa treatment itself, but also instructions, products for maintenance, after care products, dry eye scans and follow-up visit with the doctors.

What is dry eye syndrome?Dry Eye Syndrome occurs when your eyes are not being moisturized frequently enough by tears. Ironically, the drier the eyes are, the more the cornea can become desensitized. That’s why many people get used to having chronic dry eyes. That dry eye level is now their new norm.
-
What causes dry eyes?Dry eyes are caused by many factors. Environment, diet, and hydration are some of the common causes. Using digital devices all day is one of the main factors contributing to dry eye syndrome.

How do dry eyes affect vision?Dry eyes can cause your vision to fluctuate, making it difficult to function in daily life. It can be debilitating if it gets severe. Get a dry eye evaluation to find out more information.

Why are my eye drops not helping with my dry eye condition?There are different layers in the eye, and your drops might be insufficient to treat the correct layer.

We focus on understanding the cause of your dry eyes, to relieve the symptoms by going to the root of the problem.
