If you suffer from dry, itchy, or irritated eyes, you're not alone. Dry eye syndrome is one of today’s most common eye conditions and can significantly disrupt your daily life. At Dry Eye Treatment Centers of NY and NJ, with convenient locations in Manhattan, NYC and West Orange, NJ, we specialize in diagnosing and treating dry eye using the latest FDA-approved technologies and personalized care plans.
Founded by Dr. Alan Schlussel, our Dry Eye Treatment Centers of NY and NJ were created to go beyond the basics. Instead of relying on temporary fixes like artificial tears, we offer advanced diagnostic tools and cutting-edge treatments to get to the root cause of your discomfort—restoring comfort, clarity, and quality of life.
What Causes Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. This may be due to:
- Blocked or underperforming Meibomian glands
- Environmental factors like wind, screens, or dry air
- Aging, hormonal changes, or certain medications
- Chronic conditions such as blepharitis, rosacea, or autoimmune disease
Left untreated, dry eye can lead to long-term inflammation and even damage to the eye’s surface. That’s why early diagnosis and treatment are key.
Advanced Dry Eye Treatments Offered at Dry Eye Treatment Centers of NY and NJ
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s why we offer a range of advanced, evidence-based treatments tailored to your dry eye condition.
1. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
We use the OptiLight IPL system from Lumenis, an FDA-approved light-based treatment that reduces inflammation around the eyes and improves skin quality. IPL is particularly helpful for treating ocular rosacea, clogged glands, and even styes—while also offering aesthetic benefits.
2. LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation
Up to 85% of dry eye cases are linked to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). LipiFlow gently heats and massages the inner eyelids to unclog these essential oil glands, restoring natural tear function and reducing the need for drops.
3. ThermiSmooth® Radiofrequency Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses controlled heat to open blocked glands and stimulate collagen production. It not only provides dry eye relief but also rejuvenates the skin around the eyes.
These procedures are offered alongside custom at-home routines, nutritional support, and targeted eye drop therapies to give you complete, long-lasting relief.
What to Expect During Your Dry Eye Evaluation
At Dry Eye Treatment Centers of NY and NJ, our evaluation process is detailed and diagnostic—not just a surface-level exam. It includes:
- Symptom and health history review
- Meibomian gland imaging
- Tear film analysis
- Surface inflammation assessment
- Personalized treatment recommendations
We’ll help you understand exactly what’s happening and create a plan tailored to your condition.
