Dry eye care in Stroudsburg
Burning, watery, or tired eyes? Our Stroudsburg team offers a full dry eye evaluation and in-office treatments.
Our Stroudsburg team
Our Stroudsburg doctors — Dr. Thomas P. Kislan, Medical Director, along with Dr. Brian J. Olzinski and Dr. Corinne Belanger — care for dry eye in the Tannersville community.
Every visit starts with listening. We’ll ask how your eyes feel day to day, look closely at your eyelids and tear film, and explain what we find in plain English.

Dry eye treatments in Stroudsburg
Your doctor will recommend the options that fit your eyes. All of these are available at our Stroudsburg office:
TearCare®
A soft, wearable eyelid warming treatment done in the office. Gentle, steady heat softens thickened oils in the eyelid glands, then your doctor clears the glands so healthy oil can reach your tears again.
MiBo Thermoflo®
A warm, gentle massage applied over closed eyelids in the office to soften and loosen blocked gland oils. It’s usually done as a short series of visits.
Red light therapy
Low-level red light delivered through a comfortable mask while you relax with your eyes closed. It’s often paired with other in-office care for the eyelid glands.
Intense pulsed light (IPL)
Gentle pulses of light along the cheeks and around the eyes, aimed at inflammation that can affect the eyelid glands. Your doctor will talk with you about whether IPL suits your skin and eyes.
Amniotic membrane treatment
A thin, natural tissue placed on the front of the eye, much like a contact lens, to support healing of an irritated or damaged eye surface. It dissolves or is removed once it has done its job.
Punctal plugs
Tiny plugs, about the size of a grain of rice, placed in the tear drain of the eyelid so your natural tears stay on the eye longer. Placing them takes just a few minutes.
Meibomian gland probing (Maskin)
For glands that are scarred or fully blocked, the doctor numbs the eyelid and uses a very fine probe to reopen them. Dr. James Deom performs this procedure, mainly at our Hazleton and Pottsville offices.
Other options in our practice
Our practice also uses LipiFlow and the NuVissa pen for blocked oil glands, and TearLab and InflammaDry tear tests to help guide your plan. Ask our Stroudsburg team which are right for you.
LipiFlow®
An in-office treatment that applies gentle warmth and pulsing pressure to the eyelids to help clear blocked oil glands. Your doctor will let you know if it’s a good fit for your eyes.
NuVissa® pen
A precise, in-office tool your doctor can use along the eyelid margin to help address blocked oil glands. It may be done as a short series of visits.
TearLab®
A quick test that measures the salt concentration of a tiny tear sample. Tears that are too salty can be a sign of poor-quality tears.
InflammaDry®
A simple in-office test that checks a tear sample from the inside of the lower eyelid for a marker of inflammation, which helps guide treatment.
