We Use Cutting-Edge Tools for Dry Eye Relief


At Midwest Dry Eye Center, we include regular screening for dry eyes in all our eye exams. We use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to detect dry. These technologies examine the cornea, the tear film, and the meibomian glands to detect any blockages in the glands responsible for evaporative dry eye, poor-quality tear film, inflammation, and decreased tearing. The results from these tests allow us to develop a personalized treatment plan for optimal results.

WE COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER

My dry eye treatment experience was fantastic, from the time I checked in and throughout the entire process. Jenelle was a calming and gentle voice, and I also really appreciated her knowledge of the treatment. She walked me through the entire process every step of the way, and it was quick and easy. I highly recommend Dr. Cohan and his phenomenal staff, and I trust them implicitly with my eye care.
