Edmonton Dry Eye Clinic

Medical treatment plans for chronic dry eye.

Dry eye is a medical eye condition that affects your comfort, clarity, and quality of life. Symptoms like burning, stinging, a gritty sensation, fluctuating vision, or tired, heavy eyes can make daily tasks frustrating. If you’ve tried over-the-counter drops without relief, we offer a more targeted approach.

Our Dry Eye Clinic is designed to treat the condition, not just mask the symptoms. Led by Dr. Abdo Kattan, who has been treating chronic dry eye for over 4 years, we combine in-depth diagnostic testing with medically guided therapies to build a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

How We Diagnose Dry Eye

Effective treatment starts with a clear diagnosis. Our dry eye doctor uses imaging and non-invasive testing to assess the quality, stability, and production of your tears. We also check the health of your meibomian glands, which are often at the root of chronic dryness. Our in-depth evaluation may include:

  • Meibography: Infrared imaging to assess gland structure and gland loss.

  • Non-Invasive Tear Breakup Time: Measures how long your tear film stays stable after each blink.

  • Lipid Layer Analysis: Evaluates the oil layer of your tears, which prevents evaporation.

Dr. Kattan walks you through your results, often using visuals to help you understand what’s happening and why. From there, he tailors a plan that aligns with your symptoms and lifestyle.

In-Office Dry Eye Treatments

We offer several medical treatments designed to reduce inflammation, restore healthy tear function, and improve your overall comfort. Most patients benefit from a combination of therapies and at-home care. Here’s what you can expect:

Prescription Drops & Therapies

Anti-inflammatory drops, eyelid sprays, and take-home dry eye kits help relieve irritation and support daily tear function.

IPL & Radiofrequency Treatment

Light-based therapy to reduce inflammation, improve meibomian gland activity, and enhance tear film quality.

Meibomian Gland Expression

An in-office procedure that gently clears blocked glands, allowing natural oils to flow properly, reducing tear evaporation.

Supporting Your Treatment at Home

Treating dry eye isn’t just about what happens in the clinic; it’s about building a daily routine that supports your eyes. We guide you through science-backed habits that can make a real difference over time. Many patients benefit from:

  • Heated compresses or goggles to soften hardened oils

  • Omega-3 supplements to support tear quality

  • Lid hygiene routines to reduce inflammation

  • Moisturizing eye sprays or artificial tears, chosen specifically for you

We recommend the right at-home tools as part of your personalized plan, and make sure you understand exactly how and when to use them.
