Eye Drops
Once we determine what’s causing your eye infection, we can prescribe antibiotic, steroidal, or other specialty eye drops that sooth your symptoms and address your infection at its source.
|
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
When the oil-producing glands in your eyelids become clogged, it causes meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). This condition is a major cause of dryness and increases the risk of infection. We offer in-office IPL treatments to unclog these glands, reduce inflammation, and improve tear quality by using light to warm your eyelids and express your natural oils.
|
MiboFlo
Another MGD treatment we perform in-office that helps prevent eye infection is MiboFlo, also known as Mibo Thermoflo. This 10-minute procedure uses thermal pads to warm your eyelids to allow the necessary oils to flow out, leading to hydrated eyes and better tear retention.
|
BlephEx®
We use BlephEx® to treat blepharitis, one of the most common eye infections. BlephEx® utilizes a spinning micro-sponge to slough away dead skin, dirt, and debris from your eyelid to reduce inflammation and improve eye health.
|
Scleral Lenses
This type of contact lens is better at protecting your eyes from infection more than others. Scleral lenses cover the entire eye’s surface to shield it from bacteria and other harmful contaminants, while locking in healthy moisture with a tear reservoir. Scleral lenses have a host of other benefits, like being great for dry eye and sensitive corneas.

FAQs
What does an eye infection look like?
An eye infection can look red and puffy, with discharge from the tear duct. The specific look of an eye infection can change depending on the type of infection and the severity.
How long does an eye infection last?
Depending on the type of infection, the speed of diagnosis and the treatment, an eye infection can last a long time or a little time. Conjunctivitis can clear up in a few days with the right treatment.
Can an eye infection cause a fever?
In general, no. Some eye infections, which are a result of a virus, may have a fever attached, but this would be related more to the virus, than the eye infection itself.
Do eye infections go away on their own?
Mild eye infections may resolve themselves over time, but with the proper diagnosis and treatment, you can speed up the healing process significantly.
How long after an eye infection can I wear contacts?
This depends on the type of infection you had and the advice from your professional eye care expert. If an infection was partly caused by wearing contacts, you may need to hold off longer on wearing contacts.
Does breast milk help eye infections in adults?
There is very little scientific evidence to support the idea that breast milk can help eye infections in adults.
Why do I keep getting eye infections?
Look for some common or repeating factors in your lifestyle or surroundings that could be leading to repeated eye infections.
Are you allergic to something? Could there be some underlying health condition you are suffering that could increase the likelihood of eye infections for you? Do you have poor general hygiene and continually rub your eyes?
