Precision diagnosis with the MS-39
Accurate treatment starts with accurate diagnosis. Our clinic uses the MS-39, an advanced anterior segment imaging system that combines high-resolution corneal tomography with detailed tear film and ocular surface analysis. This allows us to precisely measure tear film quality, assess the cornea, and pinpoint the exact type and severity of your dry eye — so your treatment plan is targeted, evidence-based, and tailored to you.

What is IPL therapy?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a quick, comfortable, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle pulses of light to reduce inflammation and restore the function of the meibomian glands — the glands responsible for the oily layer of your tears. By targeting the underlying cause of evaporative dry eye, IPL can deliver longer-lasting relief than drops alone. Most patients benefit from a short course of sessions, with results that build over time.
Common symptoms we treat
Burning or stinging, grittiness or a foreign-body sensation, redness, watery eyes, blurred or fluctuating vision, light sensitivity, and tired eyes after screen use.
