Get the Dry Eye Relief You Deserve

Empress Eye Clinic is an advanced dry eye clinic located in North York, Toronto. It provides a personalized approach to dry eye diagnosis and therapy by leveraging the diagnostic tests, including the osmolarity test. The advanced diagnostic imaging technology includes a combination of interferometry and NIKTBUT (None Invasive Keratograph Tear Break Up Time), Meibography and Redness Scan.

After proper diagnosis, the initiation of treatment becomes essential. The treatment choice for dry eye depends on its severity and underlying cause. Treatment options may encompass one or a combination of the following approaches: 

• Antibiotics 
• Steroid eye drops 
• Lubricating eye drops and ointments 
• Warm compress therapy 
• Blinking exercises 
• Cyclosporine eye drops 
• Lifitegrast 
• Omega-3 supplements 
• Probing 
• Scleral contact lenses 
• Amniotic membrane transplant 
• ILux device treatments 
• Treating the underlying systemic disease

In the cases where Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) stands out as the primary cause of dry eye, At Empress Eye Clinic, we incorporate the ILux Device to express the meibomian glands, facilitating the smooth flow of lipid(meibum). This treatment is characterized by its efficiency and precision, precisely targeting the areas requiring intervention in dry eye therapy. 

The iLUX device’s unique capability to use light to apply controlled heat and pressure therapy directly to the meibomian glands helps alleviate dry eye symptoms by improving gland function and tear film stability. This quick and comfortable procedure, taking just about 8-12 minutes per eye, can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals suffering from dry eye discomfort, with improvements noticeable in as little as one week. This state-of-the-art treatment is fully approved by the FDA and Health Canada, ensuring our patients’ highest safety and efficacy standards.

A clinical study, subject to FDA scrutiny, demonstrated a significant enhancement in patient ocular surface disease index scores, which assess the severity of dry eye symptoms. The analysis consistently revealed marked improvements in patients’ pain and discomfort levels, visual acuity, and meibomian gland quality

Our commitment to utilizing cutting-edge technology underscores our dedication to providing the highest level of eye care.
