Dry Eye Treatment in West Los Angeles
Dry eye can make screen time exhausting, contacts harder to wear, and vision feel inconsistent by the afternoon. At Hodes Vision Optometry, we provide dry eye treatment in West Los Angeles with a thorough evaluation and customized options designed to improve comfort and support healthier tears over time.
Start With a Dry Eye Evaluation at Hodes Vision Optometry
Dry eye isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why “more drops” often isn’t enough. We start with a detailed evaluation to understand what’s driving your symptoms, then recommend a step-by-step plan that may include in-office treatment, supportive at-home care, or a combination.
If meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is part of the picture, we’ll explain what that means and which options may help improve comfort and tear stability over time.
In-Office Treatments Designed to Improve Comfort
For patients who need more targeted support, we offer in-office dry eye treatments based on eye evaluation findings. Options include Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy and Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) using the Celuma device, selected to match the underlying drivers of your symptoms.
Our goal is to help you move beyond short-term fixes toward a plan that feels sustainable, especially if symptoms flare after screen time, air conditioning, or contact lens wear.
Supportive Therapies & At-Home Care
Dry eye care often works best with a combination approach. Depending on your needs, we may recommend punctal plugs, prescription dry eye treatments, and supportive products such as Retaine to help maintain comfort between visits.
You will leave with clear, practical guidance on what to use, when to use it, and how to tell if your plan is working.
Signs It’s Time To Schedule Dry Eye Care
If you’re wondering whether your symptoms “count,” you’re not alone. Many patients schedule a dry eye evaluation when they notice:
- Burning, stinging, or a gritty sensation
- Eyes that feel tired, irritated, or heavy by mid-day
- Blurry vision that comes and goes, especially with screen use
- Watery eyes that still feel dry or uncomfortable
- Redness that flares up more often than it used to
- Contact lenses that feel less comfortable over time
- A pattern of symptoms that returns even after using drops
