This advanced treatment employs light energy at specific wavelengths to stimulate cellular activity and promote healing. This gentle and painless therapy works by enhancing the function of the meibomian glands and reducing inflammation, thereby improving the quality of the tear film and providing lasting relief for those suffering from dry eye symptoms.

Radio Frequency (RF) uses gentle, targeted heat to soften trapped oils, improve eyelid circulation, and encourage natural collagen production. This improves gland function and also firms and smooths the skin around the eyes and face.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a non-invasive treatment for dry eyes that uses broad-spectrum light to reduce inflammation and restore healthy function to the meibomian glands—key to tear production. By delivering gentle pulses around the eyes, IPL helps unclog glands, improve rosacea, improve tear quality, and eliminate demodex mites, offering lasting relief from dryness, irritation, and redness.

Every comprehensive eye exam should include a close look at the retina. Digital retinal imaging allows for detailed evaluation, lets us track changes over time, and gives you a clear view of what the doctor sees.

Ortho-K is a non-surgical treatment that uses overnight lenses to gently reshape the cornea and correct nearsightedness. We use CRT lenses to reduce the need for glasses or contacts during the day—ideal for kids, teens, and adults looking to slow myopia or enjoy clear vision without daytime eyewear.

MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses are designed to both correct vision and slow the progression of myopia in children. Dr. Ziel and Dr. Miller have been fitting these lenses for over three years, consistently seeing life-changing results in patients from age 7 well into their college years.

Most dry eye is caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), when the oil glands in your eyelids become blocked. Poor blinking leads to a breakdown of the tear film, leaving eyes dry and irritated. A breakthrough treatment is now available that gently clears these blockages—bringing lasting relief and comfort.

LipiScan is a quick, non-invasive imaging test that shows the health of your meibomian glands. If blockages are found, we may recommend LipiFlow—a comfortable treatment that restores natural tear function by restoring healthy oil flow—helping your eyes produce better quality tears for lasting comfort.

AB Max is a gentle, in-office procedure that cleans your eyelids and lashes, removing debris caused by blepharitis—often linked to bacteria, poor hygiene, allergies, cosmetic buildup, dandruff, and demodex mite infestations.

Dr. Ziel or Dr. Miller will assess your eye health and vision needs to see if LASIK is right for you. If you are a candidate, they will walk you through the process and coordinate your care from start to finish.
