TSO Briargrove Expert Dry Eye Treatment in Houston, TX

TSO Briargrove Offers Advanced Dry Eye Testing & Diagnosis for Lasting Dry Eye Relief.

Effective dry eye treatment starts with an accurate diagnosis. Our TSO Briargrove eye care clinic offers comprehensive a dry eye examination using advanced diagnostic tools like TearLab, InflammaDry, and meibomian gland photography. These cutting-edge technologies allow us to pinpoint the cause and severity of your condition—whether it's tear film instability, inflammation, or meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD),—so we can create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

TearLab measures tear osmolarity to assess the quality and stability of your tear film, while InflammaDry detects elevated levels of MMP-9, a key inflammatory marker found in dry eye disease. These non-invasive, in-office tests help us identify whether your dry eye is inflammatory or non-inflammatory, guiding us to more targeted and effective treatments.

We also use meibomian gland imaging to evaluate the structure and function, of the glands responsible for producing the oil layer of your tears. Blocked or damaged glands can lead to rapid tear evaporation and persistent dry eye symptoms. With this insight, we can address MGD early and prevent further complications.

Early detection is critical. Without proper diagnosis and treatment, dry eye can worsen over time—leading to corneal damage, infections, or even vision loss. If you're experiencing burning, itching, blurry vision, or eye fatigue, don’t wait. Schedule a dry eye examination with our optometry team today and take the first step toward clearer, more comfortable vision.

We Offer Advanced Dry Eye Treatment Options.

Once we determine the type and severity, we customize your dry eye treatment plan.

Artificial tears are the first step in treating mild to moderate dry eye.

Our optometrist will help you choose which artificial tear is right for you depending on your symptoms and daily routine. Low-viscosity drops, like Systane or Refresh, offer quick relief without blurring vision, making them ideal for daytime use. For longer-lasting moisture, especially at night, high-viscosity options like Systane Complete PF or Refresh PM provide deeper lubrication but may temporarily blur vision.

Prescription Dry Eye treatments offer targeted relief for more advanced dry eye.

The experienced eye doctors at TSO Briargrove will prescribe a targeted prescription to address your issues. Options like Restasis, Cequa, or Xiidra reduce inflammation and help increase tear production when used regularly. Omega-3 and GLA supplements can support tear quality, while serum tears, made from the patient’s own blood, promote healing in severe cases. In some instances, amniotic membrane therapy may be recommended to repair the eye’s surface and reduce discomfort.

TearCare: An advanced, in-office treatment that provides long-lasting relief for dry eye.

TearCare targets the root cause: meibomian gland dysfunction. Using a wearable eyelid device, it applies controlled heat to unclog the glands and restore healthy oil flow—essential for stabilizing the tear film and improving comfort. In just under 15 minutes, this safe, drug-free solution offers an effective alternative to eye drops and medications for lasting dry eye relief.

IPL Dry Eye Treatment with Envision by InMode

TSO Briargrove also offers Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy for those struggling with chronic dry eye. We use Envision by InMode as a powerful, non-surgical solution IPL therapy combined with Radio Frequency. This innovative treatment targets meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)—a leading cause of dry eye—by gently heating and unclogging the glands responsible for producing the essential oils in your tears. The result? Improved tear quality, reduced inflammation, and relief from symptoms like burning, itching, and blurry vision—all in as little as one session.
