For many, dry, gritty, irritated eyes are more than just a nuisance - they’re a daily struggle that affects vision, comfort, and overall quality of life. At Spring Hill Eyecare, patients find more than temporary relief - they find long-term solutions through the innovative work being done at the Greenhouse Dry Eye Clinic, the region’s premier destination for ocular surface disease treatment.
Located at 5238 Main Street, Spring Hill Eyecare has built a reputation for excellence in eye care, but it’s their commitment to addressing dry eye disease that sets them apart. Their dedicated dry eye center, the Greenhouse Dry Eye Clinic, was designed with one purpose in mind: to cultivate healing from the inside out using science, technology, and a personalized approach.
“Dry eye is complex and multifactorial,” says Dr. Rob Szeliga, founder and optometrist at Spring Hill Eyecare. “That’s why we built the Greenhouse—to create a space where we can truly get to the root cause of each patient’s discomfort and restore ocular health from the ground up.”
The process begins with advanced diagnostics, including meibography to assess oil gland health, TearLab ® to measure tear osmolarity, InflammaDry ® to detect inflammation, and the Ocular Surface Disease Index © questionnaire to track symptoms. This thorough work-up allows the team to pinpoint the specific type and severity of each patient’s dry eye disease—whether it’s
evaporative, aqueous-deficient, inflammatory, or a combination. Once the cause is clear, treatment is tailored to fit. The Greenhouse offers a suite of cutting-edge therapies rarely found in traditional eye care settings.
Among the most popular and powerful options is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy. IPL treats the inflammation and clogged glands that contribute to dry eye, particularly for patients with rosacea or chronic blepharitis. The clinic also features OptiLIFT® , a radio-frequency device with dynamic muscle stimulation technology, which helps stimulate collagen production and improve meibomian gland function—while also offering a subtle, aesthetic lift around the eyes.
For patients with stubborn debris, demodex mites, and biofilm buildup, BlephEx® , NuLids™, and Rinsada™ treatments provide in-office lid cleansing and irrigation to remove biofilm and reduce irritation. These therapies help restore the eyelid’s natural defenses and improve overall tear stability.
In addition to these advanced therapies, Spring Hill Eyecare carries a full line of dry eye supportive products like preservative-free artificial tears, lid cleansers, warming and hydrating eye masks, nutritional supplements, and more. Prescription dry eye medications are also available when needed to manage inflammation and improve tear production.
“We’ve seen incredible results with our tiered treatment packages,” Dr. Szeliga says. “From the Essential Cleanse to the Total Ocular Surface Restoration Package, our goal is to meet patients wherever they are in their dry eye journey and offer real, lasting relief.”
It’s not just the technology that makes the Greenhouse Dry Eye Clinic special—it’s the people. The Spring Hill Eyecare team is deeply invested in patient outcomes, blending medical excellence with a warm, personalized approach that makes every visit feel like stepping into a place of healing.
For residents of Thompson’s Station and beyond, relief from dry eye is closer than they think. At the Greenhouse Dry Eye Clinic at Spring Hill Eyecare, patients are rediscovering what it means to see clearly and comfortably—one blink at a time.
