Get to the Root of Dry Eye Discomfort
If your eyes feel dry, gritty, or irritated, especially after screen time or contact lens wear, you may have dry eye disease. However, relief depends on understanding what’s really causing your symptoms.
Dr. Zargar Eyecare begins with a detailed dry eye assessment designed to identify the root of the problem. Once we know what your eyes need, we can recommend a personalized care plan. Our treatments include both in-clinic options like LipiFlow and convenient at-home therapies and supplements.
Contact us to book your dry eye assessment today so we can get to the bottom of your dry eye needs.
Why Proper Assessment Matters
Dry eye is a multi-faceted condition and can be caused by different factors. It can be caused by poor tear quality, reduced tear production, inflammation, or blocked oil glands, and the right treatment depends on identifying the underlying issue.
That’s why we start every dry eye journey with an in-depth, technology-driven evaluation.
What to Expect During Your Dry Eye Assessment
Our designated dry eye assessment room is designed for comfort and precision. Here, we take a closer look at the health of your tear film and meibomian glands using proven diagnostic tools to understand the root cause of your symptoms. Your assessment may include:
- Osmolarity testing: Measures the salt concentration in your tears, which can signal the presence of dry eye disease.
- MMP-9 test: Detects inflammation on the surface of your eye that may be contributing to dryness or discomfort.
- Tear breakup time (TBUT): Assesses how long your tear film remains stable between blinks to identify tear quality issues.
- LipiScan imaging: Captures high-resolution images of your upper and lower eyelids to evaluate the health of your meibomian glands.
- Schirmer test: Measures the volume of tears your eyes naturally produce over a set period of time.
- Neurolens assessment: Evaluates whether eye misalignment is contributing to your dry eye symptoms or digital eye strain.
Once your testing is complete, you will meet with our Optometrist to review your results and create a customized care plan. This may include in-clinic therapies such as LipiFlow or radiofrequency, as well as options you can use at home.
What a Spa Day at Dr. Zargar Eyecare Looks Like
Dry eye relief doesn’t have to feel clinical. At Dr. Zargar Eyecare, we’ve reimagined dry eye care to be as relaxing and rejuvenating as it is effective.

Your visit takes place in a dedicated treatment suite where we assess and care for your eyes with a full range of diagnostics and therapies.
This combination of science-backed treatment and spa-like comfort gives your eyes a chance to reset and recharge.
Our Dry Eye Diagnostic Process
At Dr. Zargar Eyecare, we believe precise diagnosis is key to effective dry eye treatment. That’s why we use the right technology to thoroughly evaluate your tear film and eye health.
These tools help us understand the specific causes of your dry eye symptoms so we can create a personalized treatment plan designed for lasting relief.
To enhance diagnosis precision, Dr. Zargar uses CSI Dry Eye technology, an industry-leading software designed to assess dry eye conditions with accuracy.
This dry eye management system helps Dr. Zargar measure key indicators of dry eye, such as tear production, blink patterns, and the health of the ocular surface, for a comprehensive evaluation of your condition.
With CSI Dry Eye technology, we’re looking to help all our patients get the relief they deserve.
The Meibomian Gland Evaluator (MGE) is used to evaluate the secretions from your meibomian glands. Using a gentle pressure similar to a deliberate blink, the MGE stimulates meibomian secretions that are assessed using a slit lamp.
It’s a quick, convenient, standardized, and repeatable test used to determine if your meibomian glands are obstructed, allowing us to design a specific treatment plan for you. It’s also a useful tool for measuring your treatment progress and success.
Dry eye develops for many different reasons, and efficient treatments start with an accurate diagnosis of the problem. LipiView is a noninvasive diagnostic technology designed to determine if LipiFlow is the right treatment for you.
LipiView analyzes the lipid layer of your tear film to precisely pinpoint if meibomian gland dysfunction is the root cause of your dry eyes. If it is, then you are the ideal candidate for LipiFlow treatments.
Don’t Wait to Get the Relief You Deserve
Don’t let dry eye discomfort control your daily life. At Dr. Zargar Eyecare, we combine diagnostic technology with personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. Whether you prefer in-clinic therapies or convenient at-home solutions, we are here to help you restore comfort and protect your eye health for the long term.
