Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most from dry eye patients, answered plainly.
Most drops ease the feeling for a while without fixing what causes it.
Artificial tears can bring brief relief, but most dry eye is driven by blocked oil glands, inflammation, or poor tear quality. Until the cause is found and treated, the dryness keeps coming back. The evaluation is built to find that cause.
Most patients describe it as a warm snap, like a light rubber band, and very tolerable.
OptiLight IPL is a gentle, in-office light treatment. There’s no downtime, and most people return to their day right away. Dr. Noh will walk you through exactly what to expect beforehand.
It depends on the cause and severity of your dry eye.
Some therapies are a single visit; others, like IPL, are typically a short series. After your evaluation, Dr. Noh will give you a clear plan, with no guesswork and no open-ended commitments.
We are a self-pay practice and do not bill insurance directly. We discuss the cost of recommended services before treatment, and if your plan includes out-of-network benefits, we can provide documentation for you to submit for reimbursement. See Fees and Payments.
No. We treat dry eye and ocular surface disease only.
Noh Eyes does not provide routine eye care (glasses and contact lens prescriptions). It lets us focus entirely on ocular surface disease, and we’re happy to recommend excellent providers for your routine care.

The referral form is a PDF you complete and return through your own secure channel: secure fax, EHR secure messaging, or direct secure email. Our website does not collect patient information.
