iLux MGD Treatment Device
Focus West Optometry is excited to now offer the iLux therapy for dry eye! Experience relief from symptoms such as dryness and irritation caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
What Is MGD?
MGD is a condition where the glands that help keep your tear film oily get blocked, causing your tears to evaporate more easily and drying your eyes out. MGD is a chronic condition and will worsen over time, if not treated.
iLux is an in-office treatment which unblocks the glands by applying gentle heat and pressure to the lids. This makes it easier for the glands to naturally release their oil. Studies have shown that the quantity of oil produced increases 3 times by week two and 4 times by week four post-treatment! This helps lock in your own tears, providing you dry eye relief that lasts.
Who Is a Candidate for iLux?
You should schedule a Dry Eye Assessment if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Dryness
- Itchiness
- Irritation
- Redness
- Watery Eyes
Ask about iLux at your next eye examination.

Things to Look for When Selecting Your Optometrist
Vision is vital, so it is necessary to see an eye doctor who has considerable experience and concern for patients. Here are certain aspects to look for before consulting one:
Qualifications
Ensure that your optometrist has undergone training in a reputable institution. They must have a board certificate and a licence to practice on display for patients to see.
Offered Services
It is beneficial to choose a clinic which provides a wide variety of services. At Focus West Optometry, we offer facilities for pediatric eye exams and retinal camera.
Office Hours and Location
You never know when an eye emergency is going to arise. This makes it important to find a hospital which is near your location.
Reputation
Online reviews are a good way to assess the reputation of your optometric physician. You can google the name of the practice, along with the city and state.
Expectations
After your first appointment, you should evaluate your expectations with questions like:
- Was the exam rushed or thorough?
- Were all your questions answered clearly?
If your answer to these questions is “no”, it’s best to try another eye specialist. To learn more, feel free to speak to our knowledgeable staff.
