Innovative Care at Our Dedicated Dry Eye Clinic in Mashpee
Dry eye syndrome is one of the most common — and frustrating — eye conditions, especially for adults balancing screen use, seasonal allergies, or age-related changes.
The Dry Eye Clinic at Mashpee Vision Care provides patients in Mashpee with advanced, personalized care. Our focus goes beyond easing irritation — we’re dedicated to delivering lasting comfort and supporting healthier eyes for the future.
Personalized Dry Eye Treatments in Mashpee
Every patient experiences dry eye symptoms differently, which is why our clinic offers a range of therapies tailored to your individual needs. Treatments may include:
- BlephEx® – A gentle in-office procedure that removes bacteria and debris from the eyelid margins, often used for patients with blepharitis.
- iLux® – A targeted therapy that applies heat and pressure to unclog blocked meibomian glands, restoring healthy oil flow for tears.
- Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) – A comfortable, non-invasive light-based treatment that reduces inflammation and supports gland function.
- Lumenis OptiLIFT™ – A non-surgical solution designed to strengthen eyelid muscles, boost collagen, and improve blinking efficiency.
Together, these treatments go beyond temporary relief from artificial tears by addressing the underlying cause of dryness.

What causes dry eye syndrome?
Dry eye can result from aging, screen use, certain medications, environmental factors, or issues with tear quality. A comprehensive exam helps identify the root cause.
How do iLux and BlephEx treatments work?
iLux uses gentle heat and pressure to unclog oil glands, while BlephEx removes bacteria and debris from the eyelids. Both treatments target the underlying causes of dry eye.
Is dry eye a permanent condition?
For many patients, dry eye is a chronic issue, but with the right treatments and ongoing care, symptoms can be managed effectively to improve comfort and vision.
Can dry eye affect my vision long-term?
Yes, if left untreated, chronic dry eye can damage the corneal surface and lead to vision problems. Early diagnosis and treatment help protect long-term eye health.
- To support long-term comfort at home, we also recommend Optase dry eye products, including preservative-free drops, ointments, and eyelid cleansers. These complement our in-office treatments and give patients practical tools to manage symptoms daily.
- Lumenis OptiLift™ offers a non-surgical solution to relieve dry eye and rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes. Using muscle stimulation (TMS) and radiofrequency energy, it strengthens eyelid muscles, boosts collagen, and restores natural tear flow. The result is improved comfort, smoother skin, and refreshed, healthy-looking eyes with no downtime.
