An Open Letter To My Patients
Dear Valued Patients,
As we navigate the complexities of eye health together, I want to take a moment to share a personal journey that has significantly shaped my professional focus. Since my college days, I have struggled with dry eye syndrome, a condition that affects countless individuals and profoundly impacts quality of life. This personal challenge, coupled with my deep commitment to improving eye care, has led me to a profound understanding of the frustrations and discomfort associated with dry eyes.
Over the past 25 years, thousands of patients have come to me seeking relief from this pervasive issue. Each story has deepened my resolve to provide the most effective solutions for managing this condition. This collective experience and my personal battle with dry eye syndrome inspired me to establish a specialized facility dedicated to this cause—The Dry Eye Center for Puerto Rico.
At The Dry Eye Center, we are committed to offering the most advanced technology available for the treatment of dry eye syndrome. We are proud to feature the most cutting edge Photo-regeneration technology known as Intense Pulsed Light with the Lumenis Optilight system. Notably, Lumenis is the pioneer of IPL technology, and their system is the only one approved by the FDA for treating dry eye caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, which accounts for 88% of cases. This technology has proven to be a game-changer in the field.
In addition to IPL, we offer a range of cutting-edge treatments including Low Level Light Therapy, Thermal Lid Pulsation Therapy, and BlePhex lid margin microexfoliation. Each of these therapies is designed to address the various underlying causes of dry eye, ensuring that we can provide personalized care tailored to the specific needs of each patient.
Our mission at the Dry Eye Center for Puerto Rico is not merely to treat symptoms but to significantly improve your eye health and overall quality of life. We understand the impact that dry eye can have on your daily activities, and we are here to ffer you relief and support with the most effective and innovative treatments available.
If you or someone you know is suffering from dry eye syndrome, I warmly invite you to visit us at the Dry Eye Center. Let us help you find the relief you deserve and embark on a journey to better eye health together.
Thank you for your trust in me and in our center. We look forward to serving you and helping you achieve the comfort and clarity you deserve. With warm regards,
Ernesto L. Collazo, MD, FAAO
