Effective Dry Eye Treatment in San Jose, CA
Dry eye is a chronic, often complex condition, and effective care starts by identifying what’s behind your symptoms. At Image Eyecare Optometry, our treatment approach is designed to relieve discomfort, restore tear balance, and improve long-term eye health.
Whether you’re managing dry eye in San Jose for the first time or seeking better results, we’ll build a plan that fits your eyes, your routine, and your goals.
Measure and Personalize With Antares
We start with a detailed evaluation using the Antares diagnostic system, which captures high-resolution images of your tear film and oil glands.
Why it matters:
No more guessing. Antares helps us tailor your treatment plan based on objective findings, not just symptoms.
What to expect:
A comfortable, non-invasive in-office scan that takes just a few minutes and guides next steps.
Our Dry Eye Treatment Options Include:
Common signs of childhood myopia include:
- Squinting to see far away

- If your child shows these signs, a pediatric eye exam is the next step.
Our Dry Eye Treatment Options Include:

Patients with moderate to severe symptoms, especially those with MGD or visible inflammation.
What to expect:
A series of brief in-office treatments, with improvement often seen over time. No downtime required.

By restoring healthy gland function, LipiFlow can reduce tear evaporation and improve comfort for patients with evaporative dry eye.
Who it’s for:
Patients with MGD-related dry eye confirmed through evaluation.
What to expect:
A single in-office session followed by a maintenance plan. Treatment is comfortable and takes about 12 minutes
