Diagnosis – Tear film assessment – This is the most important part of examination for dry eyes. The doctor assesses the tear film quality, tear production, tear evaporation and cause of tear disruption.

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) - Meibomian glands are present on the eyelids and are responsible for secretion of oily layer of tear film. Dysfunction of meibomian gland leads to altered tear film composition and pre-disposes eye to various ocular surface disease causing ocular discomfort. With MGD, the tear film evaporates faster; hence MGD treatment is essential for the ocular health.

  • PUNCTAL PLUGS – This treatment modality helps to retain the tears in the eyes by blocking their drainage from the tear ducts. Tiny plugs are placed in the naso-lacrimal (Tear drainage) duct.
