Say Goodbye To Dry Eye And Hello To Relief With Forma-I Radiofrequency And Lumecca IPL

Dry eye disease is becoming increasingly common, affecting millions of people worldwide. This chronic condition can significantly impact your life, sometimes making even the smallest of tasks seem difficult. If you have eye pain, blurry vision, and dry or watery eyes, it could be a sign that you have dry eye disease. Luckily, there are many treatment options for dry eye management.

With a comprehensive eye exam, your doctor can evaluate your vision and eye health to develop an individualized treatment plan designed to address your specific needs and provide lasting relief.

What Is Evaporative Dry Eye (EDE)?

EDE is the most common type of dry eye disease. This type of dry eye occurs when you lack the proper amount of oil in your tears. When this happens, your tears can evaporate too quickly, drying out your eyes. In some cases, EDE can be caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a disorder where the meibomian glands in your eyes become blocked, limiting the amount of oil being produced for your tears.

What Are The Symptoms Of Dry Eye Disease?

If you are suffering from dry eye disease, you may notice any of the following symptoms:

• A burning or scratchy sensation in your eyes
• Stringy mucus in or around your eyes
• Irritated or overly watery eyes
• Sensitivity to light or photophobia
• Eye redness, blurred vision or eye fatigue
• A sensation of having something in your eyes
• Difficulty wearing contact lenses

What Are The Best Dry Eye Treatments?

You don’t have to live with the uncomfortable symptoms of dry eye disease or use eye drops multiple times a day. By pairing Forma-I and Lumecca-I, your symptoms can be managed effectively and efficiently, restoring your quality of life.

Using hand-held devices, these non-invasive procedures are a safe, gentle and effective treatment for MGD (meibomian gland disease). Pairing the use of Forma-I and Lumecca-I over a series of at least four treatments, your dry eye symptoms can be reduced long-term.

By combining these two U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved technologies, most patients will have significant improvement with their dry eye symptoms, often reducing or even eliminating the need for drops and ointments. Not only will it give you dry eye relief, but these treatments have also been proven to help in reducing fine lines and wrinkles by tightening the skin around your eye area.

If you think you would benefit from these procedures, know that while the consultation is covered by insurance, the treatment itself is out of pocket. However, you can use your health care flex dollars or health savings account funds to cover the expenses.
