Dry eye is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes feeling dry, irritated, and uncomfortable.
The causes of dry eye can vary, from environmental factors like air conditioning and digital screen use to underlying medical conditions like Sjögren's syndrome or meibomian gland dysfunction.
The symptoms of dry eye can range from mild discomfort to severe pain and vision problems. You may experience a gritty or burning sensation in your eyes, redness, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and excessive tearing or watery eyes.
Ignoring your dry eye symptoms can have serious consequences. Without proper treatment, the condition can worsen, leading to more severe complications, such as eye infections, corneal damage, and even vision loss.
There are advanced treatment options available that can provide you with effective and long-lasting relief from your dry eye symptoms. At Paradise Canyon Eye Care, we are dedicated to helping you find the best solution to manage your dry eye and improve your overall eye health.
One of the advanced treatments we offer is Forma-I, a revolutionary technology that uses radiofrequency energy to melt clogged oil glands to improve the quality of the tear film. This non-invasive procedure reduces the symptoms of dry eye and providing provides long lasting relief. Forma-I is a safe and comfortable treatment that can be tailored to your specific needs, helping you regain control of your eye health.
Another advanced treatment option we offer at Paradise Canyon Eye Care is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy. This innovative approach uses intense, focused light to target the underlying inflammatory causes of dry eye and contributes to warming the oil glands. IPL therapy helps to improve the function of these glands, allowing them to produce a healthier, more stable tear film. By addressing the root cause of your dry eye, IPL therapy can provide you with long-lasting relief and improved eye comfort.
In addition to Forma-I and IPL therapy, we also offer Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) as an advanced treatment option for dry eye. This non-invasive procedure uses low-intensity light to stimulate the natural healing processes in your eyes, reducing inflammation and improving tear production. LLLT can be an effective complement to other dry eye treatments, helping to alleviate your symptoms and enhance your overall eye health.
