The lacrimal gland is responsible for producing the watery component of our tear film. Many factors, such as medication, infections, or autoimmune diseases, can reduce its function. Thus, a complete drug and medical history is necessary to understand a patient's dry eye and the health of their lacrimal gland.

The Meibomian glands produce an oil-like substance that coats the watery layer of our tear film to prevent it from evaporating. As we age, these glands may secrete a thicker product, become blocked or dysfunctional, and we become more sensitive to wind and air conditioning. Strategies to improve Meibomian gland secretion may involve heat to melt the thickened oil and massage to express it onto the ocular surface.

Treating dry eye may require reviewing medications, increasing lacrimal gland secretion with drops, treating systemic medical conditions, helping the Meibomian glands, or a combination of these approaches.

If you require more information about laser refractive procedures, please consult your local optician or Collaboration: Ideally, optometrists and ophthalmologists work together as a partnership.

    I suggest you never go there for a job because unlike Dr. Moloney, who is highly personable and educated, his assistants like Alice and Yumi are incredibly mean. I worked there for about two months. I worked much more than what they paid, but Alice and Yumi did to me what they did to the other medical office assistants. They pulled the rug out from under me for no reason. They told me I couldn't handle stressful situations when I never complained. If you are a regular patient of Dr. Moloney, you will notice over time that you will always meet new faces. The reason is that Yumi and Alice hired an employee; after they worked for a while, they fired them for no reason.

    I went to Dr. Greg Moloney MBBS, BSC MED, MMED, FRCSC, Local Ophthalmologist, Vancouver BC when my family doctor thought I might have glaucoma. I was referred to Dr. Moloney and found him a great resource. There were a few different options to lower my eye pressure. I ended up getting prescription eyedrops which have helped immensely. I liked Dr. Moloney's attitude and he took the time to answer my questions. I felt confident with my glaucoma treatment after I left his office.
