Meibomian Gland Procedures

The meibomian glands play a crucial role in maintaining the health and stability of your tear film, helping to keep your eyes lubricated and comfortable. When these glands become blocked or dysfunctional, it can lead to dry eye symptoms and discomfort.  At the Dry Eye Institute, we offer specialized meibomian gland procedures designed to unclog and restore proper function to these vital glands. With our advanced treatments, we aim to improve your tear production, relieve your symptoms, and enhance your overall eye health. Discover the range of personalized meibomian gland treatments we offer below.

Zocular Hygiene (ZoHx)

Zocular Hygiene is a deep and gentle exfoliation of the eyelids. An all-natural solution in combination with a micro sponge applicator is used to gently cleanse the eyelids and softly exfoliate any dead cells, debris and bio films that can accumulate on the lid margins and contribute to inflammation, infection, and irritation. The eyelids are then gently compressed to remove any blockages of the meibomian glands.
