Different treatments work in different ways. After an evaluation, our team can help determine which options may be appropriate for you. Some patients may benefit from one treatment or a combination.

  • Targets visible abnormal blood vessels associated with ocular rosacea and inflammation.
  • May help support healthier meibomian gland function and tear-film stability.
  • Can also improve the appearance of certain sunspots, redness, and other skin discoloration in treated areas.

  • Can help create a supportive environment for surface healing and comfort.
  • The membrane is placed on the eye using an appropriate delivery method, such as beneath a collagen shield or bandage contact lens, as determined by the provider.
