Effective treatment starts with understanding why your eyes are dry. Your CLARITY dry eye evaluation assesses the ocular surface, tear film, and eyelids to identify inflammation, gland dysfunction and other factors contributing to your symptoms. Advanced imaging, including meibography, allows us to evaluate the health and structure of your oil glands before treatment.

From there, Dr. Danielle Richardson creates a personalized treatment plan.

Dry Eye Therapy

Relief for dry, irritated, and fatigued eyes. Dry eye is often caused by inflammation, poor oil gland function, and modern visual strain. Our treatments focus on restoring balance to the tear film, improving gland function, and relieving discomfort at its source.

Reduce inflammation and support healthier tear production.
Lumenis OptiLight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is FDA approved to address inflammation associated with dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction to improve tear quality and relieve dry eye symptoms. Many patients also notice brighter, more refreshed skin around the eyes.

Recommended as a four (4) treatment series for best results. LEARN MORE
Warm, soothing therapy for dry, irritated eyes.
Radiofrequency (RF) offers treatment for evaporative dry eye + meibomian gland dysfunction. RF energy gently warms the eyelids to improve oil flow, relieve dryness, and support tear film stability. This treatment also provides subtle skin tightening in the periocular area.

After continuously suffering from severe dry eye for decades and feeling that it had recently worsened, I came upon CLARITY and decided that I would go for a consultation. Dr. Richardson performed a full workup, found that the clinical signs matched my subjective experience, and recommended intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment. The procedure itself was easy and nearly painless, and Dr. Richardson provided the utmost care throughout. When I finished the treatment series, I knew unquestionably that I had made the right decision to pursue it. Because of the treatment, my dry eye symptoms no longer interfere with my daily activities. I could not be more grateful for the treatment and for Dr. Richardson, who provided such high-quality and attentive care.

—Max M.
Dr. Richardson is a fantastic doctor. I have been seeing her for several years and even followed her to her brand new location on Melrose (which is stunning). She is incredibly knowledgeable and has a lovely bedside manner, making you feel at ease during the appointment. She really listens and helps find solutions. In my case, she helped remedy my chronic dry eyes to the point where I no longer suffer from dry eyes anymore. She has also helped me navigate my changing eye sight as I deal with increased astigmatism and now presbyopia. Currently, we are working on finding the right contacts that are corrective and also comfortable for my sensitive eyes.
