If you notice persistent symptoms of dry eye, such as stinging sensations, mucus buildup around the eyes, or blurred vision, you may be suffering from a dry eye condition. Visit our office for a dry eye exam to receive an official diagnosis, and then we can provide dry eye treatment in Brookhaven.
Our Dry Eye Treatments
At Brookleigh, we’re experts in treating dry eye conditions at their source.
Dry Eye Exams
We can diagnose your condition and find the best treatment at our dry eye exams.
IPL Therapy
Using Optilight’s innovative, intense pulsed light device, we’ll address the blocked glands that cause dry eye.
Eye Drops
Eye drops can help you find quick relief from dry eyes, no matter the cause.
Allergy Treatments
Allergies can also trigger dry eyes, but we’ll help you stay safe and comfortable with our treatments.
What to Expect
We use several methods to help treat your dry eye condition, depending on your unique case.
For many patients, we use thermal pulsation therapy. With this treatment, we use a device called Lipiflow to gently heat and massage your eyelids. This helps your meibomian glands produce lubricating oil to keep your eyes from drying out.
In minor cases, we can prescribe Restasis eye drops to help relieve your symptoms of chronic dry eye. Over time, you can see increased tear production with consistent use.
At Brookleigh, we also use intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for dry eye treatment. In Brookhaven, we’re the only office that has this innovative treatment, so reach out to us if you’re looking to finally find relief for your dry eye condition!

Dr. Reynolds is the best! Favorite eye doctor I’ve ever been to in my 20 years of annual eye exams. I love the eye scan technology available here in lieu of dilation - it helped me discover a nevus (freckle) on my eye which will be important to monitor over the years for changes. Brittany at the front desk was also extremely friendly and helpful.

Dr. Reynolds is fabulous! She is knowledgeable and communicates eye health in an easy to understand manner. The office is clean. The Team is professional and easygoing. I think I will stay with her for the next few decades 😉.

Frequently Asked Questions.
There are many ways that you can minimize your symptoms and ease your discomfort. Over-the-counter eye drops and medicines are often effective for short-term relief, but environmental factors also play a role in your condition.
Regularly using a humidifier can help keep your eyes from drying out. Similarly, a warm compress over your eyes can help keep them moist.
Patients with dry eyes should also refrain from staring at computer or tv screens for extended periods, and make sure to rest your eyes periodically if you’ve been on the computer, reading, or working for long periods.
These steps can help relieve your symptoms, but if you still find yourself struggling with dry eye, it may be time to visit our office for our dry eye treatment in Brookhaven.
Certain medications, medical conditions, and lifestyle choices can put you at an increased risk of dry eye.
Medications for glaucoma, blood pressure, depression, allergies, menopause, and pain management can all include dry eye as a side effect.
Other medical conditions, such as neurological, autoimmune, endocrine, and eye conditions, can also boost your chances of developing dry eye.
Excessive screen use and smoking are other risk factors for dry eye.
