Have you noticed your eyelids drooping a bit more than normal lately? Are your friends and family members constantly asking you if you’re tired? If so, you could be one of the many people who suffer from a common condition called blepharoptosis, which causes the appearance of low lying or droopy eyelids. Not only is this aesthetically unpleasant, but it can also result in other serious concerns, such as a reduced field of vision.
Up until recently, the only way to treat blepharoptosis was through surgery, but now there’s an exciting non-invasive alternative called Upneeq.
Upneeq is an FDA-approved, once-daily eye drop that, when used properly, can lift the upper eyelid and create a wider gaze. This innovative product is only available by prescription and can only be obtained through a qualified eye care professional. Kubo Optometry is pleased to offer this service to our amazing customers.
To find out whether you are a good candidate for Upneeq, the first step would be scheduling a comprehensive eye exam. This will enable the doctor to verify whether you are healthy enough to use Upneeq and confirm that there are no contraindications with other medications. We also have samples available within our office, so you can try Upneeq before buying.
Start looking more alert with noticeable results in as little as 5 to 15 minutes! Contact us to schedule your professional Upneeq consultation today!
Lumenis Optilight
Are you among the 16-49 million Americans who suffer from dry eye disease? This common, chronic condition can have a significant impact on one’s quality of life, from pain and discomfort to blurry vision. Left untreated, dry eye disease can also lead to further eye health complications. The good news is, there’s now a simple and convenient solution that can provide much-needed relief once and for all.
At Kubo Optometry, we never want to see any of our patients suffer needlessly. To that end, we offer a number of innovative treatments for dry eye disease. One such treatment method we strongly recommend is OptiLight, by Lumenis.
What is OptiLight?
OptiLight is the first FDA-approved Intense Pulse Light device developed to treat dry eye, meibomian dysfunction and ocular rosacea. As the name indicates, OptiLight leverages the power of light to provide a safe, effective and non-invasive treatment option.
The OptiLight device emits precise pulses of light, which work to reduce the inflammation that is often associated with dry eye disease. It has also been proven to be effective at improving tear break-up time, reducing the amount of bacteria around the eyes and increasing function of the meibomian gland. The result can be a dramatic reduction in symptoms.
Is OptiLight right for me?
While OptiLight by Lumenis has helped countless dry eye disease sufferers find the relief they need, it’s not for everyone. A professional consultation with one of our experienced optometrists is necessary in order to determine whether you would be a good candidate for this treatment option.
If you have been dealing with the discomfort and inconvenience of dry, irritated eyes, relief may be a few treatment sessions away. Contact us today or start a conversation at your next appointment.
LATISSE®
Are your lashes thin or thinning due to age? LATISSE® is the first FDA-approved prescription treatment for inadequate or not enough eyelashes, growing them longer, fuller and darker. This once-nightly treatment is applied topically to the base of the upper eyelashes, as instructed by your doctor. Results may be seen in as little as 4 weeks with full growth in 16 weeks.

Eye Wrinkles
Kubo Optometry is pleased to offer treatment with the TempSure Envi system to address the underlying cause of dry eye: meibomian gland dysfunction. TempSure Envi is a radiofrequency laser treatment that opens clogged oil glands and restores balance to your tear film. Additionally, treatment with TempSure Envi can rejuvenate and tighten the skin around the eyes to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
