Get the Best New Treatment for Dry Eyes at Paradise Canyon Eye Care

Dry eye is a common and often chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort, irritation, and even vision problems. The causes of dry eye can vary, ranging from environmental factors like air conditioning and pollution to underlying medical conditions like Sjögren's syndrome, blepharitis, and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Common Causes of Dry Eye

Two of the most common causes of dry eye are meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and blepharitis. MGD occurs when the meibomian glands, located along the edges of your eyelids, become blocked or dysfunctional, leading to an imbalance in the tear film. This can result in reduced tear production and increased tear evaporation, contributing to the symptoms of dry eye.

Blepharitis is an inflammation of the eyelids that can also disrupt the tear film and contribute to dry eye. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacterial infections, skin conditions, and even allergies.

Recognizing Dry Eye Symptoms

The symptoms of dry eye can be quite disruptive to daily life. You may experience a burning, stinging, or gritty sensation in your eyes, along with redness, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. These symptoms can make it difficult to perform everyday tasks like reading, using a computer, or even driving. Untreated dry eye can also lead to more serious complications, such as corneal damage and increased risk of eye infections.

Dry eye can have a significant impact on your quality of life, affecting your ability to work, engage in hobbies, and enjoy social activities. It's essential to seek professional help to address the underlying causes and find effective relief.

Exploring the Best New Treatment at Paradise Canyon Eye Care

At Paradise Canyon Eye Care, we are excited to offer the latest and most advanced treatment for dry eye: FORMA-I radiofrequency therapy by InMode. This innovative technology targets the root causes of dry eye, providing long-lasting relief and improved eye health.

FORMA-I is a non-invasive, in-office procedure that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate and restore the function of the meibomian glands. By gently heating the glands, the treatment helps to liquify and express the blocked oils, improving the quality and stability of the tear film.

How Does FORMA-I Radiofrequency Therapy Work for Dry Eye Relief?

The FORMA-I treatment process is straightforward and comfortable. During the procedure, your optometrist will apply a specialized handpiece to the eyelids, delivering precise and controlled radiofrequency energy. This targeted heating helps to melt and express the blocked meibum, restoring the natural balance of the tear film.

The entire treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes, and most patients report minimal discomfort. The procedure is designed to be gentle and effective, with no downtime or recovery period required.
