Zest will benefit anyone experiencing:

Blepharitis is a common condition that causes inflammation of the eyelids, and the pinpoint glands around the eyes.  

Blepharitis leads to the formation of tiny flakes or crusts at the base of your eyelashes, making your eyes uncomfortable and aesthetically displeasing due to eye lid redness.

Zest is an in-office eyelid treatment designed specifically for the treatment of blepharitis.  

Zest is an okra based "shampoo-like" solution, clinically proven to reduce the biofilm and inflammation of blepharitis.

This prescription solution is gently massaged onto your upper and lower eyelashes for 2 minutes, followed by a soothing rinse.  

Results yield soothed and hydrated eyelids and lashes.    

Consultation: Dr. Kristin will assess your specific needs and symptoms to determine if Zest is an appropriate treatment option for you.

Application:  Using a specialized brush, Dr. Kristin will gently apply the prescription Zest solution along the base of your eyelids and lashes, for 2 minutes each eyelid.  This treatment is followed by a soothing rinse.

Relaxation:  While the solution works its magic, you get to sit back and relax, as there is NO burning, stinging, or tingling.

Anyone experiencing:

•  Watery Eyes
• Fluctuating Vision
• Dryness
• Burning
• Eye Fatigue
• and or Itchy in your eyes

The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, and is considered painless.  

This procedure is not currently covered by insurance. 

Contraindicated for patients with a pace maker or a history of herpes eye infection

TearCare is a revolutionary new treatment for dry eye that uses heat and massage to stimulate the production of natural tears. 

This non-invasive treatment is safe and effective, and can provide long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
Some of the benefits of TearCare include

• Improved tear production
• Reduced inflammation
• Relief from dryness and irritation
• Increased comfort and clarity of vision
• Decreased dependance on artificial tears 

After evaluating if TearCare would be right for you, Dr. Kristin Doyle will begin the procedure by applying the TearCare flexible sensors to your upper and lower eyelids.  

These soft sensors will provide heat to your eye lids while monitor the gradually increasing temperature,  until the optimal temperature is reached.  

Applying this heat to your eyelids melts the hardened contents of your meibomian glands along your eyelid margins.  

After the heat is removed, Dr. Kristin will gently express the contents of these very important glands, providing you the ability to secrete better quality tears. 

In addition to in office dry eye therapies, we also often prescribe eye drops to combat ocular inflammation. 

According to recent studies, prescription eye drops are effective in treating dry eye in up to 80% of patients. However, some patients may require additional treatments, such as TearCare, to achieve optimal results.
