Millions Suffer
From Dry Eyes
More than 16 million Americans experience dry eye, a chronic condition that can cause dryness, irritation, burning, and discomfort. It occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears do not provide adequate moisture and protection.
For some people, dry eye symptoms may be mild and occasional. For others, they can become persistent and may lead to significant discomfort, inflammation, and changes to the surface of the eye.
If you are experiencing persistent dry eye symptoms, we can help.
At Trinity Eye Associates, Dr. Ellison specializes in ocular surface disease, including dry eye. We provide thorough evaluations and custom treatment plans for each patient to address the root cause, improving eye comfort and ocular health. Request an Ocular Surface Consultation or contact our office to schedule.
What Is Meibomian
Gland Dysfunction?
The meibomian glands are tiny oil-producing glands along the edges of your eyelids. They release oil that helps keep your tears from evaporating too quickly and keeps the surface of your eyes properly lubricated for clear, comfortable vision.
When these glands become blocked or do not function properly, it is called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). Without enough oil in the tear film, tears can evaporate too quickly, leaving the eyes dry and irritated. This can also increase friction between the eyelids and the surface of the eye, contributing to discomfort and other dry eye symptoms.
Left untreated, this constant friction can do more than cause discomfort — it can lead to tiny corneal abrasions, or scratches on the eye's surface, which may cause pain, light sensitivity, and a higher risk of infection if not properly cared for.
MGD is one of the most common causes of dry eye. Proper evaluation and treatment can help restore healthy gland function, improve eye comfort, and support better overall eye health.

TREATMENT
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity light pulses to target specific structures in the skin. While traditionally used in dermatology to treat skin conditions like rosacea and acne, IPL has gained popularity for its effectiveness in managing dry eye disease and other ocular conditions.
IPL benefits
Improved Tear film stability
By enhancing meibomian gland function, IPL helps create a more stable tear film, reducing dry eye symptoms.
Rreduced inflammation
The treatment targets inflammation, which is a key factor in dry eye disease.
Minimally invasive
IPL is a non-invasive procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Treats multiple conditions
Rosacea: Associated Ocular Inflammation: IPL can reduce ocular inflammation caused by rosacea, providing relief from symptoms like redness and irritation.
Blepharitis: IPL may help manage chronic inflammation of the eyelids, improving overall eye health.
How IPL Works for Dry Eye
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy uses gentle, controlled pulses of light around the eye area to help address inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction—two common factors associated with dry eye.
During treatment, the light energy may help:
Reduce inflammation by targeting abnormal blood vessels that can contribute to inflammation around the eyes.
Support meibomian gland function by helping improve the release of oils needed to maintain a healthy tear film.
Loosen thickened oils within the meibomian glands, helping improve oil flow and tear stability.
What to Expect During IPL Treatment
Preparation: Protective eye shields are placed over the eyes, and a cooling gel may be applied to the treatment area for comfort.
Treatment: Your provider uses a handheld IPL device to deliver controlled pulses of light to the skin around the eyes. The treatment is typically quick and performed in the office.
After Treatment: Some patients may experience temporary redness, warmth, or mild sensitivity in the treated area. These effects generally resolve within a short period of time. A series of treatments may be recommended based on your individual needs.
IPL is a non-invasive treatment option that can help address factors contributing to dry eye, particularly inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction. If you are experiencing persistent dry eye symptoms, schedule a comprehensive dry eye evaluation to determine whether IPL may be appropriate for you.

Myolift treatment
MyoLift is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle microcurrent technology to stimulate the muscles and tissues around the eyes. In addition to helping reduce the appearance of puffiness and fine lines, MyoLift supports meibomian gland function and improve circulation around the eyes. This can help promote a healthier tear film and provide relief for patients experiencing dry eye symptoms.
Myolift benefits
Softens Fine Lines
Helps improve the appearance of fine lines around the eyes.
Reduces Puffiness
Helps minimize under-eye puffiness for a more refreshed appearance.
Supports Eye Comfort
Gentle stimulation support circulation and meibomian gland function.
Firms & Tones Skin
Helps stimulate facial muscles for a more lifted, toned appearance — with special benefits for the delicate eyelid area. For patients with droopy eyelids or lids that don't fully close at night, MyoLift can help strengthen and tone the muscles responsible for proper lid closure. This reduces nighttime tear evaporation, helping to prevent the dryness and irritation that comes from eyes being exposed while sleeping.

Amniotic (Stem Cell) Membranes- A regenerative treatment using amniotic tissue rich in growth factors and stem cells to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and restore the ocular surface — often used for dry eye, corneal damage, or after certain eye procedures.
