What to expect
A clear, unhurried walkthrough of your first consultation — from intake to your first IPL session, if one is part of your plan. No surprises, no up-sells.
Step 1. Intake & history
10 minutesBefore your visit, you’ll complete a symptom questionnaire (OSDI) and share your history. This lets us spend your in-person time on care, not paperwork.
Step 2. Comprehensive evaluation
30–40 minutesMeibography imaging, tear breakup time, Schirmer testing, lid margin evaluation, and corneal staining. Every finding is walked through with you — no black-box diagnostics.
Step 3. Personalized treatment plan
15 minutesWe review the findings together and build a plan that fits your symptoms, goals, and budget. You leave with a written plan and transparent pricing — no pressure to decide on the spot.
Step 4. First IPL session (if indicated)
20–30 minutesIf IPL is part of your plan, we can often start the same day. Expect a warm sensation and brief flashes of light — most patients describe it as comfortable, not painful. Zero downtime.
Step 5. Recovery & aftercare
Same dayYou walk out and go about your day. Mild redness may persist for an hour or two. We send aftercare instructions to your phone and check in 48 hours later.
Step 6. Follow-up & progress tracking
3 weeks laterYour second session (if part of a series) includes quick re-imaging to track progress. We keep adjusting your plan based on what the data actually shows.
