Dr. Randy Peters is a distinguished Dry Eye Expert based in Bryan, Ohio, with a heartfelt mission to alleviate the suffering of individuals plagued by dry eye symptoms.

Driven by his own experiences and a deep sense of empathy, he has dedicated his professional life to making a positive difference in the lives of countless others who share this condition.
As the visionary behind the innovative Tranquil Vibes eye mask, Dr. Peters revolutionized dry eye treatment by combining heat and vibration to provide much-needed relief for Meibomian Gland Disorder (MGD). His passion for advancing dry eye care has led him to embrace the most cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment protocols and equipment available.
At Dr. Peters’ practice, patients benefit from state-of-the-art tools like the OptiLight, (the first FDA-approved treatment for inflammatory dry eye), Miboflow technology, nutraceuticals, lid hygiene techniques, including BlephEx, Punctal Occlusion, Autologous Serum Tears, and Scleral Lenses. These resources, coupled with Dr. Peters’ extensive knowledge and clinical expertise, ensure that each patient receives tailored, effective solutions for their unique dry eye challenges.
Dr. Peters firmly believes that patient education is paramount to achieving positive outcomes. His dedication extends beyond diagnosis and treatment, as he takes the time to empower patients with a complete understanding of their condition and a personalized playbook for managing their symptoms.

Dr. Peters’ personal journey fuels his determination to make a meaningful impact, one dry eye patient at a time.
Patient presented to us a year ago with dry eyes and a diagnosis of scleroderma, an inflammatory autoimmune disease that affects the skin and other organs. She had moderate to severe dry eye disease as a result with meibomian gland dysfunction and lubricating eye drops were not working for her. Over the past year, we were able to heal her cornea with amniotic tissue placement and treat the inflammation in and around her face and eyes with the Optilight. She just returned for a six-month maintenance treatment and dry eye symptoms remain resolved or at a minimum.
Discovering The Cause
At Peters Family Eyecare, our focus is on isolating the underlying cause behind your dry eye symptoms. In many cases, dry eye is caused by inflammation or meibomian gland dysfunction.
Inflammation occurs when your eyes become irritated or infected, while meibomian gland dysfunction occurs when the glands in your eyelids that produce the oily layer of your tears become blocked.
Through meibography, tear osmolarity analysis, and other diagnostic tests, we can determine the best course of action to bring you long-term relief from your dry eye symptoms. Unlike other practices, we don’t just treat the symptoms of dry eye – we address the root cause to provide a lasting solution.
Optilight by Lumenis
Optilight by Lumenis is popular for its aesthetic benefits in addition to its effectiveness in treating dry eye.
With Optilight IPL, we’re able to smooth wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, and more while simultaneously unblocking your meibomian glands.
Optilight IPL is a safe and effective treatment that can provide lasting relief from your dry eye symptoms.
