Understanding
Ocular Surface Disease
(Dry Eye)

Ocular Surface Disease (OSD), also known as Dry Eye or Dysfunctional Tear Syndrome, is a chronic, progressive condition that can cause redness, burning, watering, irritation, and blurred vision. Left untreated, it can affect your comfort, productivity, and long-term vision health.

At Total Vision Family Eye Care, we take a personalized approach to managing Dry Eye. Each patient receives a treatment plan tailored to their unique signs, symptoms, and lifestyle — using the latest diagnostic and treatment technology available.

Comprehensive Dry Eye Solutions

Eyelid Hygiene &
Biofilm Management


Healthy eyelids are essential for healthy eyes. Bacteria and debris along the lash line can interfere with the tear film and cause inflammation.
We recommend gentle daily cleansing with products such as Zocular foam or wipes, Optase Hypochlorous Cleansing Spray, or ZocuShield gel to reduce biofilm and promote proper oil flow from the glands.

Advanced In-Office
Treatments

We offer state-of-the-art procedures to restore tear film balance and relieve symptoms:
• Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) – Reduces inflammation and improves oil gland function.
• Radiofrequency (RF) – Stimulates the meibomian glands for better tear quality.
• Zocular Eyelid Treatment System (ZEST) – Deep cleans the eyelids to remove buildup.
• Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) and Thermal Expression – Enhance gland performance and comfort.

Prescription &
Biologic Therapies

Depending on the severity of your symptoms, prescription options may include:
• Xiidra, Miebo, Tyrvaya, or Xdemvy to improve tear production and reduce inflammation.
• Cyclosporine or topical steroids for inflammation control.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) drops, amniotic membranes, or autologous serum tears for regenerative therapy.

Over-the-Counter Relief

We recommend preservative-free artificial tears to maintain moisture and soothe irritation. Options may include:
• Optase Intense, Optase Hylo Relief, or iVizia Sterile Lubricant Drops
• Optase Hylo Night Ointment for overnight hydration
• Lumify for redness relief (as directed)

Lifestyle & Environmental Tips
Your daily habits have a big impact on eye comfort:
• Avoid direct airflow from fans, vents, or air conditioning.
• Use a humidifier to add moisture to indoor air.
• Stay hydrated—drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water daily.
• Take frequent “blink breaks” when using digital devices (follow the 20-20-20 rule).
• Get 7+ hours of quality sleep each night for optimal healing and comfort.

Protective Eyewear
& Specialty Lenses

• Blue light–filtering lenses help reduce eye strain from digital screens.
• Polarized, wraparound sunglasses protect your eyes outdoors.
• Scleral lenses provide continuous hydration and protection for patients with severe dry eye.

MiBo Thermoflo

If you struggle with dry, irritated eyes that don’t improve with artificial tears, MiBo Thermoflo may help. This innovative treatment uses gentle heat and massage to unclog blocked meibomian glands—the source of healthy oils in your tears. By restoring normal oil flow, MiBo Thermoflo helps improve tear stability, reduce inflammation, and provide lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
