About Beckman Dry Eye Institute

Advanced Care for Dry Eye Disease & Ocular Surface Health
EXCLUSIVELY focused on dry eye disease diagnosis and treatment.

Our Mission

At Beckman Dry Eye Institute, our mission is to provide compassionate, patient-centered care utilizing advanced diagnostics and evidence-based treatments to address the root causes of dry eye disease.

 

We combine clinical expertise, cutting-edge technology, and personalized strategies to restore comfort, protect ocular health, and improve the quality of life for every patient.​

Our Role

​Our role is to serve as an advanced referral center that supports your patient’s outcomes and returns patients to your care after dry eye stabilization and management.

We partner with medical professionals to improve patient comfort, visual acuity, surgical outcomes, and long-term ocular surface health for patients with chronic conditions and high-risk medications. 

Clear Communication

We are committed to clear communication with referring providers, collaborative co-management, timely consultation reports, and long-term support for complex dry eye patients.

"We help patients see more comfortably while supporting the doctors that care for them"

Our Core Values

Collaboration

We believe the best patient outcomes happen through strong partnerships with referring doctors and healthcare providers.

Compassion

We recognize the significant impact dry eye symptoms can have on quality of life and are committed to attentive, personalized care.

Education

We empower patients with a thorough understanding of their diagnosis, contributing factors, and treatment options.

Integrity

We remain committed to ethical co-management and respectful collaboration with every referring practice. We do not compete with other eyecare practitioners.

 

 

Excellence

We utilize advanced technology and modern treatment protocols focused exclusively on dry eye disease and ocular surface health.

 We do not compete

We do not offer routine eye exams, vision care, contact lens fittings, or optical sales. Our focus is diagnosing and treating ocular surface disease to improve refractions, support your optical and contact lens services, and enhance surgical outcomes.

We treat dry eye disease (DED) in patients whose underlying conditions span many medical specialties:

Rheumatology

DED is common in autoimmune disease.

Endocrinology

Diabetes and thyroid eye disease (TED) are frequently associated with DED.

Dermatology

Rosacea and high-risk medications (e.g., Accutane) can contribute to DED.

Oncology

Radiation and chemotherapy often lead to DED.

Gynecology

Hormonal imbalance can worsen or trigger DED.

Immunology

Severe allergies can contribute to DED.

Oculoplastic surgery

Pre- and post-treatment dry eye management can improve outcomes.

Ophthalmology

(cataract/refractive surgery, retina, glaucoma): optimizing DED before and after surgery supports better outcomes; many glaucoma medications can contribute to DED.

Primary care

Patients with ocular symptoms but no known systemic condition.

Functional medicine

Patients seeking DED treatment within a holistic approach.
