Board-certified ophthalmologist providing advanced dry eye diagnosis and treatment in Roslyn Heights, Nassau County, and the North Shore of Long Island.

Dry eye disease is a common but often under-diagnosed condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough quality tears or when tears evaporate too quickly. Symptoms may include burning, irritation, redness, fluctuating vision, tearing, and eye fatigue — especially with screen use, contact lenses, or aging.

At Politi Eyecare & Aesthetics, dry eye is treated as a medical condition, not a one-size-fits-all problem. Each patient receives a comprehensive evaluation to identify the underlying cause, whether it is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), inflammation, hormonal changes, medication effects, or environmental factors.

We offer customized, physician-directed dry eye treatments, which may include:

• Prescription and medical-grade lubricating therapies
   
• Anti-inflammatory eye drops and targeted medications
   
• Advanced diagnostic testing and imaging
   
• In-office procedures to improve tear quality and gland function
   
• IPL-based therapy for inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction (when indicated)
   

Our goal is to restore long-term comfort, protect the ocular surface, and improve visual quality — not just temporarily mask symptoms. Treatment plans are tailored based on severity, lifestyle, and response to therapy.
