Meibomian Gland Procedures

Dry Eye Consultation

Dry eye is a prevalent condition that results from inadequate lubrication of the eye.

Abnormal or deficient tear quality, or quantity, can cause dry eye. Tears consist 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, many other causes may further aggravate dry eye (e.g., surgery, medication, hormonal change, medical diseases, etc).

Patients are welcomed by a dedicated team of eye care professionals who guide patients to appropriate and specific therapies. The pillar of dry eye is the identification and classification of the type of dry eye through our advanced tear film diagnostic tools. This tool, coupled with a dry eye impact questionnaire and other diagnostic tests, provides Uptown Eye Specialists eye care professionals with all the information they require to monitor successful progress through the individualized treatment pathways.

This clinic is unique in the GTA as it provides a multi-specialty approach to your individualized dry eye management. The cornerstone of treatment at the Dry Eye Clinic is UltraView DEL (dry eye laser).
