The doctors and trained staff at Broome Optical use advanced diagnostic technology and procedures to detect, diagnose and treat a wide range of eye diseases, including chronic dry eye disease. For those that suffer from this condition, the eye doctors of Broome Optical offer LipiFlow, an FDA-approved breakthrough treatment for one of the main causes of dry eye: evaporative dry eye. “A recent study changed the paradigm of how we look at dry eye,” says Dr. Neal D. Nossaman. “In the past, researchers thought the problem was not enough tears. Now we know that the majority of patients, especially in the Panhandle area, have enough tears but they evaporate too fast.” The 12-minute LipiFlow treatment provides immediate relief, targeting one of the main causes of dry eye syndrome and providing up to 24 months of relief from the itchy, dry, red and irritating symptoms. “One of the exciting things about LipiFlow is that it treats the cause of dry eye as opposed to treating the symptoms,” says Dr. Nossaman. “We treated over 150 eyes in the Broome Optical first three months that we offered this treatment, and patients are raving about how 3408 Olsen Blvd. they’re not dependent on eye drops and that they don’t feel the burning and stinging Amarillo, Texas 79109 that they did before.
