A2Z Eyecare Announces Dry Eye & Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Treatment in Mahwah

Oct 1, 2026

A2Z Eyecare's Waldwick practice now offers dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction evaluation and treatment for Mahwah-area patients, including tear film testing, prescription therapies, and OptiLight IPL - the first FDA-cleared IPL treatment for dry eye management.

Waldwick, United States, October 1, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- A2Z Eyecare has announced the availability of dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction treatment at its Waldwick practice, serving patients across Mahwah and the surrounding Bergen County area. Services include individualized evaluation and care for patients experiencing eye dryness, blurred vision, and irritation, with OptiLight by Lumenis available for eligible patients.

More information is available at https://a2zeyecarenj.com/

Both conditions are more prevalent than many patients realize. A 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis published in JAMA Ophthalmology estimated that meibomian gland dysfunction affects roughly 21.2% of the U.S. population, while dry eye disease affects approximately 8.1% - and ranks among the leading reasons for eye clinic visits nationwide.

Care at A2Z Eyecare begins with a comprehensive eye exam that accounts for symptoms, medications, and lifestyle factors. Treatment options range from lubricating drops and prescription medications for milder cases to punctal plugs for more persistent symptoms.

For dry eye linked to meibomian gland dysfunction, the practice offers OptiLight by Lumenis. According to Lumenis, OptiLight is the first and only FDA-cleared intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment for dry eye management, having received clearance in 2022. The treatment uses controlled light pulses applied around the eyelids to reduce inflammation, improve meibomian gland function, and help stabilize the oil layer that prevents tears from evaporating too quickly. Most patients complete three to four sessions spaced several weeks apart, with periodic maintenance as needed.

"Adding OptiLight to our practice means Bergen County patients now have access to an FDA-cleared IPL option for dry eye that addresses the condition at its source rather than just managing symptoms," said Dr. Victoria Kravchenko of A2Z Eyecare.
