Personalized Care for Lasting Relief
Because dry eye has different causes, we offer a variety of treatment options. Your optometrist will recommend the best approach based on your unique test results.
Our Advanced Treatments
InMode IPL (Intense Pulsed Light):
Our clinic offers IPL therapy, a gentle and effective treatment for dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and inflammation. Using safe pulses of light around the eyelids, IPL reduces redness, clears blocked oil glands, and improves the quality of your tears. It can also target harmful bacteria and mites (Demodex) that contribute to irritation. Treatments are quick, non-invasive, and require little to no downtime. Many patients notice brighter, more comfortable eyes and longer-lasting relief from dryness after a series of sessions.
InMode RF (Radiofrequency): Uses controlled heat and massage to unclog blocked oil glands and support better tear quality.
Meibomian Gland Expression (MGD Compression): A hands-on technique that clears blockages in your eyelid glands to restore natural tear flow.
BlephEx: A comfortable in-office eyelid cleaning that removes bacteria and debris from the lash line, reducing irritation and promoting healthier eyes.
With these advanced therapies, many patients experience significant improvement in both comfort and vision.
RF (Radiofrequency)
InMode Forma-I Radiofrequency treatment (RF) penetrates deep into the dermis, effectively providing bulk heating to the Meibomian Glands and stimulating collagen production. This secondary benefit includes a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
RF utilizing bipolar radiofrequency, addresses the symptoms associated with dry eye disease (DED) caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). This treatment is specifically tailored for the peri-orbital area, including the upper and lower eyelids, effectively reducing inflammation in the meibomian glands, and providing relief from eye irritation. This treatment assists in unblocking clogged meibomian glands, ultimately leading to improved tear production and secretion.
Meibomian Gland Expression
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) stands out as one of the most common types of dry eye disease. Due to its prevalence in the domain of dry eye conditions, Meibomian gland expression emerges as a simple yet remarkably effective procedure for relieving symptoms and ameliorating signs associated with MGD. We conduct Meibomian Gland Expression (MGE) for all our patients during the same session immediately following IPL and RF treatments.
Blephex
BlephEx® is another in-office procedure that allows us to treat blepharitis by eliminating biofilm and cleaning your eyelid margins. BlephEx removes excess bacteria, biofilm and bacterial toxins, the main causes of eyelid symptoms. By removing the biofilm and excess bacteria, BlephEx improves the overall health of the eyelids. The BlephEx® treatment only takes a few minutes to perform.
Relief is possible.
