Why Your Tears Are Important

Your tear film is instrumental in helping you maintain your eye comfort. It is made up of unique ingredients that work together to keep your eyes hydrated. These ingredients include:

  • Mucus, which adheres your tear film to the surface of your eyes.
  • Water, which hydrates your eyes and washes away dirt and dust.
  • Oil, which seals your tear film in and prevents it from evaporating.

Dry eye can develop for various reasons. We consider several factors like aging, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and your environment to help us develop a relief strategy as unique as your needs!

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: A Leading Cause of Dry Eye

Dry eye can be broken up into 2 groups: evaporative dry eye and aqueous tear deficiency.

Aqueous tear deficiency affects the water used in your tear film, but evaporative dry eye affects the amount and quality of oil your eyelids produce to keep your tear film from evaporating.

Evaporative dry eye is the most common form of dry eye, and meibomian gland dysfunction is among the most common causes.

Meibomian gland dysfunction occurs when blockages form in your meibomian glands, which are located around the edges of your eyelid. These blockages prevent your tear film from getting the oils it needs, leading to dry eye symptoms.

How We Can Help

We have several ways to help alleviate dry eye. Before recommending a treatment, we first have to detect what’s causing symptoms with an eye exam.

We’ll test several different aspects of your tear film during the eye exam to ensure it has healthy levels of mucus, water, and oil. We’ll also take into account your eye health history, family health history, and lifestyle to determine what is causing your symptoms.

Dry eye can sometimes lead to other issues that seriously affect your eyes, like frequent eye infections or corneal damage. To help protect your eyes, we may recommend multiple treatment sessions.

iLux

iLux is a handheld device we use to apply gentle pressure and heat to your meibomian glands. In just a few moments, the iLux can help loosen and melt away blockages in your meibomian glands and promote a healthy flow of oil to the tear film.

Intense pulsed-light therapy (IPL) is another unique technique we use to help loosen or melt away blockages in your meibomian glands, using pulsating light on your eyelids.

InMode Lumecca IPL offers triple the power of standard IPL treatments. These lights are intense enough to heat your eyelids gently but safe enough to protect your eyes throughout the treatment.

Radiofrequency technology has long been used to help reduce the signs of aging, but it can also help alleviate dry eye symptoms!

InMode RF uses gentle energy waves to heat your eyelids, penetrating deep into the tissue to help melt away blockages in your meibomian glands and provide oil to your tear film.

Sometimes the simplest technique is the most effective.

By gently applying pressure to your eyelids, we can help clean away and massage out blockages in your meibomian glands and stimulate healthy oil production.
