What Is Dry Eye Syndrome? (DES)
Did you know that our state of the art surgical center is also the home of our dedicated dry eye center? Dr. Valerie Moates devotes her time treating symptomatic and severe dry eye patients who seek immediate and effective treatments. Unlike typical treatments like eye drops or warm compresses, our dry eye center raises the bar of dry eye care to a whole new level.
It is truly a Dry Eye facility.
Dry Eye Disease Demands A Thorough Diagnosis
Dry Eye Disease is commonly referred to as ocular surface disease, which also explains why the majority of eye doctors assess the cornea or ocular surface of the eye to determine how they will treat a case of dry eye. However, the latest eye health research & modern technology indicate that treating dry eye successfully requires additional testing, especially through meibography.
Over 85% of all dry eye cases are because of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), so by monitoring and diagnosing the health of a patient’s meibomian glands, we’re able to identify the ideal treatment plan with incredible accuracy and amazing outcomes.

We’re excited about our latest dry eye technology, Envision by InMode, which features Lumecca I, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy and Forma I Radio Frequency (RF).
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy and Radio Frequency (RF) treatment offer a powerful combination for improving ocular health and skin rejuvenation. IPL targets various skin imperfections and vascular lesions while RF promotes collagen production and tightens the skin.
When used together, they offer a comprehensive solution for enhancing meibomian gland function. This combined therapy not only increases the number of expressible meibomian glands and improves meibum clarity but also delivers controlled heat across several layers of the skin to specifically target the meibomian glands, promoting optimal function and relieving symptoms of dry eye syndrome.
Moreover, by enhancing blood circulation and collagen production, this synergistic approach not only improves ocular health but also rejuvenates the surrounding skin, resulting in a more youthful and vibrant appearance.

Alumier MD Facial Care Products
In our patient care, often dry eye care includes the health and beauty of the delicate skin around the eyes. That’s why we’re proud to offer Alumier MD facial care products, specially formulated to address the unique needs of the eye area while enhancing overall skin health and beauty.
Understanding the Importance of Eye Area Skincare:
- The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of the face.
- It’s susceptible to damage from environmental stressors, aging, and lifestyle factors.
- Without proper care, this skin can become dry, irritated, and prone to fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.
- Targeted skincare products help protect and nourish the eye area, promoting a youthful, radiant appearance.
Introducing Alumier MD Facial Care Products:
- Eye Creams: Enriched with peptides, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate, firm, and brighten the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Serums: Deliver concentrated doses of active ingredients to target specific concerns like loss of elasticity and uneven skin tone.
- Eye Masks: Provide instant hydration and rejuvenation for tired, stressed eyes.
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) & iLux
As a recognized dry eye expert and leader in dry eye care, Dr. Valerie Moates has been acclaimed as one of the top 3 doctors for treating dry eye through the iLux procedure. Many of our dry eye patients rave about the life changing improvements they receive after their iLux treatments. By directly clearing out blocked meibomian glands and immediately solving our patient’s severe dry eye, the iLux device has become a very important dry eye treatment at our dry eye clinic.
Treating Blepharitis & Eyelid Inflammation
In addition to clearing out the meibomian glands, a common dry eye treatment we utilize called Blephex cleans the eyelids of demodex or blepharitis. Blephex is not only done onsite, totally painless, and performed by Dr. Valerie, but within minutes, many patients can feel the improvement. Treating eyelids of their inflammation through Blephex is often repeated to help maintain clean eyelids.
Restore Damaged Corneas or Ocular Surfaces With Prokera
While some patients may come to us feeling like a lost cause, even patients with damaged corneas due to severe dry eye have found their solution under Dr. Valerie’s care. Through the use of an amniotic membrane called PROKERA®, she’s achieved successful outcomes that heal or repair damaged eye surfaces, and in some cases, protect the eye surface from further harm. After wearing the amniotic membrane for 4-7 days patients can be relieved of inflammation and associated symptoms.
What Others Are Saying About Us
Upon coming in for my annual check up, my eyes were totally blurry. After doing my elevation for dry eyes and using the iLux treatment recommended, my sight is much better. I highly recommend Dr. Valeria Moates and Regional Eye Cener for your care. N. R.
