Your patients deserve more than another prescription for eye drops. We offer the most advanced dry eye treatment technology in Michigan — IPL, RF, and LLLT — all under one roof, led by Dr. Shira Kresch, a Columbia- and Kresge-trained specialist who focuses exclusively on the cases that standard treatments can’t solve. We diagnose the root cause, treat it with real technology, send you a full report, and send your patient back to you more comfortable than they’ve been in years.
Refer Your Patients to Michigan’s Most Advanced Dry Eye Clinic
Your patients trust you with their eye health — and when their dry eye symptoms go beyond what standard treatments can manage, they deserve a referral to a clinic that’s equipped to take over where you left off. The 1-800-Dry-Eyes Therapy Center in Southfield, MI gives your patients access to a level of dry eye care that most practices in Michigan simply aren’t set up to provide.
Led by Dr. Shira Kresch, OD, MS, FAAO — a Columbia University and Kresge Eye Institute-trained specialist — our clinic is purpose-built for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic, moderate, and severe dry eye disease. We don’t do routine eye exams here. Every appointment is focused entirely on identifying the root cause of your patient’s symptoms and building a targeted treatment plan using technology that goes far beyond artificial tears and warm compresses.
When you refer a patient to us, they get access to all three advanced in-office dry eye treatment modalities under one roof — Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Radiofrequency (RF), and Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) — along with the option to combine all three into a single multi-modal protocol for complex or treatment-resistant cases. We’re one of the only clinics in the state offering this full range of modalities, which means your patients won’t need to be bounced between multiple providers to get comprehensive care.
Our diagnostic workup goes deep. Every referred patient receives a thorough evaluation including Meibography, tear breakup time analysis, osmolarity testing, and a detailed assessment of Meibomian gland structure and function. We don’t treat based on assumptions — we treat based on data. And we keep you in the loop. You’ll receive a full report of our findings, diagnosis, and treatment plan so you always know exactly what’s happening with your patient.
For patients who present with dry eye alongside complex contact lens needs — keratoconus, post-surgical irregularity, corneal scarring, or severe ocular surface disease — our clinic offers a unique advantage. As a division of Michigan Contact Lens, we can pair in-office dry eye treatment with custom scleral lens fittings designed to protect and hydrate the cornea throughout the day. That means your patient gets a fully integrated treatment plan from a single team, with no gaps in care and no conflicting approaches.
The patients who benefit most from a referral to our clinic include those with:
