Advanced Dry Eye Evaluation and Treatments
Relief starts when we treat the root cause, not the symptom.
At Northwest Arkansas’s premier dry-eye clinic, Dr. Matt Howell designs a customized plan for every patient, utilizing Envision radiofrequency (RF), Envision intense pulsed light (IPL), biologic drops, diet and lifestyle modifications, and other advanced therapies as needed to revive blocked meibomian glands, calm inflammation, and restore natural tears for lasting comfort and visual performance.
Dry Eye Is a Medical Condition, Not a Minor Irritation
Precise diagnostics turn guesswork into targeted care, so comfort lasts longer than any eye drop.
The “Hidden Epidemic” behind red, tired eyes
Dry eye often masquerades as redness, excess tearing, or fluctuating vision, quietly eroding contact lens comfort and driving confidence.
Left untreated, dry eye can worsen over time
Left unchecked, meibomian glands atrophy, making future repair harder and comfort harder to regain.
Effective treatments target the root cause, not just the symptoms
Addressing underlying factors ensures long-term relief, sharper vision, and healthier eyes.
What to Expect During Your Comprehensive Dry Eye Evaluation
At Eyes on The Square, we use state-of-the-art techniques to evaluate and treat dry eye.
Advanced Diagnostics
We utilize specialized assessments such as infrared meibography, tear film analysis, non-invasive tear breakup time, tear volume, corneal staining, and more to identify the root cause of your dry eye symptoms.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Based on your evaluation, we create a customized plan to address your specific type of dry eye, your needs, and restore hydration and comfort, all while taking into consideration your time and budget constraints.
Innovative Treatment Approaches
Envision Radio Frequency (RF) Therapy
Targeted 42–45 °C thermal energy liquefies stagnant meibum oil, expresses obstructed glands, and stimulates collagen remodeling. Each lid is treated in about 15 minutes with virtually no downtime.
Regenerative Biologic Drops
Preservative-free biologics such as Regener-Eyes® or autologous serum supply natural growth factors that heal the ocular surface.
Envision Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Therapy
Gentle pulses of targeted light shrink unhealthy lid vessels (telangiectasia), reduce Demodex mites, and calm inflammation, leaving the lid margin cleaner and the tear film more stable.
Integrative Lifestyle & Whole Body Support
Targeted nutrition, gut-microbiome support, sleep hygiene, and careful evaluation of medications, allergy triggers, mold exposure, and cosmetics collectively address systemic drivers of ocular-surface inflammation and underscore a commitment to whole-body wellness beyond the eyes.
