Dry eye is a very common and often chronic problem. It can be found in people of all ages but typically worsens as we age. It is condition in which a person doesn't have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the eye. Good quality tears are absolutely necessary for maintaining the health of the cornea (the front surface of the eye) and for providing clear vision.
Chalazion typically result from healed internal styes that are no longer are infected nor painful. These eyelid bumps form around an oil gland causing blockage that does not allow the oil to drain, which then causes red, swollen eyelids. Chalazion typically drain and resolve on their own, however, applying warm compresses several times per day for 10 minutes to your eyelid can facilitate quicker resolution to this problem.
Unlike LASIK which surgically removes the surface of your cornea, Corneal Reshaping Treatment (CRT) is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure which gently reshapes your cornea to reduce your myopia while you sleep. Corneal Reshaping Treatment (CRT) utilizes reverse geometry lenses so that you will awake with clear vision throughout the day without eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Meibomian gland dysfunction is blockage or some other abnormality of the meibomian glands so they don't secrete enough oil into the tears. Because the tears then evaporate too quickly, MGD is a leading cause of dry eye syndrome. It also is associated with an eyelid problem called blepharitis. Online vision tests often give inaccurate or misleading information, and can misinform consumers that can delay essential, sight-saving treatment.

I have never seen a doctor here, however, I had a very upsetting experience with who I assume is the doctor while he was representing the office. He yelled at and belittled me in front of my children over a parking space. He was entitled and rude. I will never use this eye doctor because of this gentleman.
