Punctal Plugs

At Miramar Eye Specialists, we provide specialized treatment for dry eyes, including the use of Punctal Plugs, a simple yet effective procedure designed to alleviate symptoms. Dry eyes can significantly impact your daily life, causing discomfort such as itching, burning, or the sensation of a foreign body in the eye.

Punctal Plugs help retain moisture on the eye by blocking the tear ducts through which tears usually drain. This treatment is especially beneficial for patients whose dry eye condition does not improve with standard treatments like artificial tears or medications.

Treatment of Corneal Infections

The cornea is a thin, clear, spherical layer of tissue on the surface of the eye that provides a window for light to pass through. In a healthy eye, the cornea bends or refracts light rays so they focus precisely on the retina in the back of the eye.

There are many diseases that can affect the cornea, causing pain or loss of vision. Disease, infection or injury can cause the cornea to swell (called “edema”) or degrade (become cloudy and reduce vision).

Eye Muscle Surgery (Strabismus)

Strabismus, or crossed eyes, affects about 5% of children and many adults, causing visual impairment and potential blindness in the weaker eye. Surgery can correct the alignment and prevent further vision deterioration. This condition can be congenital or acquired from factors like eye injury, diabetes, or stroke.
