Understanding Dry Eye Disease and Its Impact

Dry eye disease is a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough high-quality tears to properly lubricate and nourish the eye. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including aging, environmental conditions, prolonged screen time, certain medications, autoimmune disorders, and hormonal changes.

The condition is characterized by symptoms such as stinging or burning sensations, redness, itchiness, blurred vision, and a gritty or sandy feeling in the eyes. Dry eye is often a chronic and progressive condition that requires medical evaluation and ongoing management to relieve discomfort and prevent potential complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a common eye condition in which the meibomian glands—located in the upper and lower eyelids—become blocked or fail to function properly. These glands produce an oily substance that forms a crucial part of the tear film. When this oil secretion is reduced or obstructed, moisture evaporates too quickly from the eyes, leading to dry eye symptoms, eyelid inflammation (blepharitis), and potential damage to the ocular surface.

If left untreated, MGD can result in chronic discomfort and an increased risk of permanent damage, making early diagnosis and proper management essential for maintaining long-term eye health.

Forma-i is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to relieve dry eye symptoms caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. Using a small, precise applicator, the treatment delivers gentle heat to the delicate eye area, targeting the root causes of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction—such as gland blockages—while promoting improved blood circulation and gland function.

The radiofrequency thermal energy also stimulates neocollagenesis, the natural process of collagen growth and repair. This helps rebuild and restore the meibomian glands, improving their function and supporting healthier tear production. Additionally, it enhances the surrounding skin, resulting in a smoother, tighter, and more youthful appearance.

By activating gland activity and oil secretion, Forma-i can help alleviate dry eye symptoms such as discomfort, blurred vision, and irritation, while also reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and under-eye bags.

Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment delivers targeted light energy to the face, body, and delicate eye area, providing benefits for dry eye, inflammation, and pigmentation concerns. The light energy targets tiny inflammatory blood vessels just beneath the skin, helping to reduce eyelid inflammation, rosacea, and eyelash mites (Demodex), while also stimulating collagen production. These effects can indirectly relieve dry eye symptoms and associated discomfort.

In addition, Lumecca IPL’s ability to target pigmented areas makes it effective for treating hyperpigmentation, enhancing the aesthetic appearance around the eyes, as well as other areas of the face and body

Most patients begin to feel and see improvement after the first treatment; however, a series of 4 to 6 treatments is typically recommended for optimal results.

Most patients require 1 to 2 maintenance treatments per year to preserve the results achieved from the initial treatment package.

These treatments are not currently recognized by insurance companies as covered services and are therefore offered as cash pay. However, we offer flexible payment plans to make treatment more accessible. By addressing the root cause of dry eye disease, these treatments can significantly lessen or even eliminate the long-term need for costly prescription eye drops, leading to meaningful savings over time.
