He provides comprehensive primary eye care with emphasis on dry eye, Sjögren’s Syndrome, and glaucoma. His specialty and research revolve around dry eye disease and rehabilitation of the ocular surface.

Dr. Guo is particularly interested in dry eye procedural treatments including microblepharoexfoliation, intense pulsed light, and both thermal and mechanical expression therapies for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
