Listed A to Z unless you search by ZIP code. A listing isn’t a recommendation: we haven’t visited these practices, and details can change, so confirm them when you call. How we choose practices.

What these treatments are

Where we grade a treatment on our evidence board, the grade is shown. A practice offering a treatment doesn’t mean you need it: a good clinic tests first.

Intense pulsed light (IPL)Good
Pulses of light on the skin below the eyes, used alongside other care such as gland expression, for dry eye caused by oil gland problems.
Thermal pulsation (LipiFlow, iLux, TearCare)Good
Heat and pressure on the eyelids, designed to clear blocked oil glands in a single treatment.
Oil gland imaging (meibography)
Infrared pictures of the oil glands in your eyelids, to see whether any have shrunk or are missing.
Advanced dry eye testing
Tests beyond a routine exam, such as how salty your tears are or whether they carry signs of inflammation.
In-office lid cleaning, such as BlephEx
A clinician cleans debris and crusting from the lid edges and lashes.
Amniotic membrane bandages
A thin layer of amniotic membrane placed on the eye like a bandage, to help a damaged surface heal in severe cases.
Scleral contact lenses
Large rigid lenses that vault over the cornea and hold a pool of fluid against it while you wear them.
Punctal plugsMixed
Tiny plugs in the tear drains that keep your own tears on the eye longer.
