Zocular Hygiene is a deep and gentle exfoliation of the eyelids. An all-natural solution in combination with a micro sponge applicator is used to gently cleanse the eyelids and softly exfoliate any dead cells, debris and bio films that can accumulate on the lid margins and contribute to inflammation, infection, and irritation. The eyelids are then gently compressed to remove any blockages of the meibomian glands.
A device that provides gentle simultaneous warming and compression of the meibomian gland to release meibum and facilitate durable oil production. (Recommendedfor mild to moderate dry eye.)
a specialized gentlelaser that uniquely targets the meibomian gland withcustomized wavelengths of light. (Recommended for moderate to severe dry eye.)
Most mild forms of dry eye can be treated with artificial tears and warm compresses. But when conventional treatments are not enough to relieve your symptoms, further investigations and targeted treatment may be necessary. Uptown Eye Specialists offer the full spectrum of dry eye treatment that is customized to your special condition.
Dry eye is a very common condition that results from inadequate lubrication of the eye.
The Dry Eye Clinic at U Eye Laser Cosmetic (UELC) is designed to properly diagnose, find the cause, classify the severity and treat all aspects of dry eye. This clinic is very unique in the GTA as it provides a multi-speciality approach for your individualized dry eye management. The corner stone of treatment at the Dry Eye Clinic is the UltraView DEL.
UltraView DEL applies gentle pulses of light to liquify hardened oils, support natural oil production, and restore patient comfort.
Abnormal or deficient tear quality and/or quantity can cause dry eye. Tears are made up of 3 layers: lipid, aqueous, and mucin. The meibomian gland in the eyelid produces the lipid layer - and its function decreases as we age. In addition to this there are many other causes that may further aggravate dry eye (eg. surgery, medication, hormonal change, medical diseases etc.)
We aim to care for our patients compassionately in a technologically cutting edge environment using the latest advances in clinical research.
