Dry eye syndrome is not a trivial condition and, in the vast majority of cases, requires treatment in a clinic. Often overlooked by certain institutions, it goes unnoticed by most patients who come to us.
However, dry eye is a serious problem that can worsen over time, leading to additional complications and making it more difficult to relieve and/or cure completely.
Patients who, through no fault of their own, have not been diagnosed and who, as a result, neglect their condition will see their glands atrophy until they disappear. It is at this point that the condition becomes permanent.
Fortunately, we have implemented an early detection program and thus tackled the problem at its source.becomes permanent.
Thirty years ago, only 5% of the population suffered from dry eye syndrome. Today, it affects one in three people, and most people don’t even know they have it.
With a team of individuals each boasting over 30 years of experience in the field and driven by a desire to make a difference, Eye Am decided to innovate and launch Quebec’s only brand dedicated to dry eye syndrome.
Because, like you, we believe that eye health is of utmost importance, we offer our comprehensive dry eye treatment program throughout most of Quebec.

Consultation and pre-testing
You will meet with the optometrist’s assistant for a comprehensive assessment and a complete eye exam to determine your condition.
Using Lipiview or Lipiscan technology, he will be able to perform tests and image the Meibomian glands to check for obstruction and atrophy of some or all of them.
Consultation with the optometrist
Next, you will meet with the optometrist to confirm your diagnosis of dry eye. They will analyze the images of your eye taken beforehand to assess the quality and quantity of your tears, the integrity of your ocular surface, and the presence of inflammatory markers.
Your optometrist will be able to identify the cause of your dry eyes: a deficiency in aqueous tears, a deficiency in lipid tears, or both. They will then be able to offer you an appropriate treatment plan and comprehensive care to correct the problem in the short, medium, and long term.
Home and clinic treatment
Your first visit will conclude with a meeting with our dry eye clinic manager, who will provide you with more details about the solutions offered by your optometrist, the costs involved, and will schedule your next treatments according to the plan defined until your treatment review.
Your treatment assessment will enable your optometrist to monitor your condition and symptoms and adjust your treatment based on the results obtained.
