LIPIFLOW
LipiFlow is an advanced treatment for dry eye caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). MGD occurs when the oil-producing glands in your eyelids are blocked or partially blocked which prevents your tears from properly lubricating. Common symptoms include burning, itching, and discomfort. LipiFlow works by applying a combination of gentle heat and pressure to the eyelids, effectively massaging to help clear the blocked glands. This restores healthy oil production, improving the quality of your tears which can provide relief from dry eye symptoms.”

The demand on our eyes is greater than ever and as many as 80% of adults experience the painful symptoms of eye misalignment. Neurolens helps correct misalignment and can change people’s lives. Relief is in sight! Take the Nuerolens test to see if you’re a candidate.

Testimonials
I left feeling as if I was valued, and that my money was being well spent on something I wanted to spend it on — not something I felt pressured into thinking I needed. The eye exam was by far one of the most involved and well explained I have ever experienced. I was pleasantly surprised the that the Dr. was present the whole time, my questions were answered with thought and not once did I get the standard, "I would not be too concerned " response. It was always a clear interest to make sure I was understanding the technical as well as the results of his answer.

I had been coming here for years and I'm always greeted by friendly staff! They know most of my family and remember our life stories when we come. It never feels like I'm the eye doctor, it feels like family.
Jimena H.
TEI's team has always been courteous, friendly and calls about the exam. I've been going for year to one in Knightdale, NC and would not switch unless they close which, hopefully, they never will!
Becky D.
Dr. Chad Morgan has provided me with proactive, strategic care and exceptional long-term advice about my eye care for more than 5 years. I trust him completely and know he has a full understanding of my health and the new treatment options for my care. I simply wouldn't entrust my eyes to anyone else!
