The Oculus Keratograph 5M is an advanced diagnostic tool that helps us accurately detect, treat, and manage dry eye disease. This non-invasive test provides a detailed evaluation of your tear film by measuring tear volume, analyzing the lipid layer, and examining the structure of the meibomian glands. With this information, we can quickly determine the type and severity of dry eye you have, whether it’s caused by low tear production, tear evaporation, or gland dysfunction.
This precise diagnosis allows us to create a customized treatment plan that may include prescription therapies, in-office procedures, or lifestyle changes. By using the Keratograph 5M, Northpoint Eye Studio ensures every patient receives effective, personalized care for long-term eye comfort.
OptiLight by Lumenis is the first FDA-approved dry eye treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). This 4-session treatment is non-invasive and involves applying gel and light to the skin under your eyes. Each session is quick and painless, and you can return to normal skincare and makeup use without a problem. IPL reduces abnormal blood vessels that perpetuate inflammation and decreases the population of Demodex mites. It’s also known to reduce sun spots, spider veins, and redness of the face when combined with Photofacial treatment.
During ZEST treatments, we gently exfoliate and clean the eyelids and eyelashes. Cleaning the eyelids removes biofilm, debris, and excess bacteria, opening up the pores and allowing the free-flowing of oil onto the tear film. This simple yet effective process relieves symptoms of dry eye disease and blepharitis.
