Dry Eye Treatment

Dry eye is one of the most common conditions causing blurry vision and discomfort. The cause of dry eyes can vary from patient to patient. for some, it is caused by decreased tear production, while others have increased tear evaporation or an imbalance in the tear makeup (water, oil and mucus layers).

Dry eye symptoms include burning, tearing, redness, foreign body sensation, and blurry vision. These symptoms may significantly impact quality of life and should not be accepted. There are a variety of treatment options available that alleviate symptoms of dryness, but do not address the underlying cause. These treatment options include: artificial tears, ointments, omega-3 supplements, Punctal Occlusion, and prescription eye drops.

Envision by inmode is the new groundbreaking, nonsurgical device, that deploys multiple programmable modalities which work synergistically to deliver Precise treatments and improve patients quality of life. These modalities include: Forma-I (bipolar radiofrequency - RF) and Lumecca-I (intense plused light - IPL).

Radiofrequency for Dry Eye and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)

Inmode Forma-I Radiofrequency treatment (RF) - uses radio-frequency to generate heat which is applied to the skin around the eyes. this heat stimulates collagen formation, bringing white blood cells, and stem cells to the skin while reducing inflammation. THis treatment aides in opening up clogged meibomian glands, allowing for improved tear production. The RF treatment is followed by meibomian gland expression in the office.

Lumecca IPL for Dry Eye, Inflammation, and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)

Inmode Lumecca-I Intense Pulse Light Treatment (IPL) - Works to control the inflammatory process and to stop the vicious cycle of inflammation thus reducing the need for medications. IPL treats ocular rosacea, meibomian gland dysfunction, and inflammatory dry eye. It has been shown to decrease demodex (tiny mites that live in eyelash hair follicles) and bacteria around the eyelids. The powerful bursts of light also close off blood vessels that release inflammation in ocular rosacea.

Side effects of IPL and RF procedures include reversing the signs of aging by stimulating collagen production, smoothing wrinkles, and eliminating dark spots for younger looking eyes. to start treatment or to learn more please contact the office.
