5 Ways RF And IPL Treatments Soothe Dry Eyes

March 3, 2021

Did you know there is a 2-in-1 treatment to alleviate dry eyes and look younger? When you hear "dry eye treatment," you feel a wave of hope if you’re living with dry eyes, yet also some skepticism. After years of artificial tears, consultations, and the use of prescriptions to no limits, it sounds too good to know there is another option! Here are five ways Inmode Forma radiofrequency (RF) and Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) for dry eye treatments can ready you with a fresh perspective.


When we think about eye treatments for younger, healthier eyes, we usually think about treating fine lines and wrinkles. We forget that, as we age, we are also more susceptible to Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) and its crippling effects.

Although DES is often debilitating, less than half of Albertans suffering from DES will see their optometrist about it. You don’t need to rely solely on artificial tears to soothe the burning, itching, and blurriness accompanied by extreme dry eyes. Talk to your eye care professional about other options, such as Inmode Forma radiofrequency (RF) and Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) available at My Optometrist Calgary.

Do Dry Eyes Go Away On Their Own?

Yes, they can, depending on if you have chronic dry eyes and the underlying cause. In Calgary’s dry, cold climate, it is not uncommon to have dry eyes. It is essential to get your eyes checked by an optometrist if your dry eyes are persistent. However, even if you can cope with the aching, scratchy sensation, or feeling like there is continually something in your eye, damage to your corneal tissue may develop over time, and possibly even vision loss. Getting routine eye exams is not just for getting glasses. They are essential prevention tools to protecting your eye health, comfort, and vision.  At My Optometrist Calgary, our mission is to protect your eyesight and the health of your eyes.
 

How Do I Know I Have Dry Eye Syndrome And Not Just Dry Eyes?

Over 90% of Albertans live with Dry Eye Syndrome; If you are experiencing the following symptoms it is not unlikely you may be too. While it is always best to play it safe and get regular eye exams, we understand this is not practical for everyone. 

If you are experiencing these symptoms, this may indicate dry eyes, and you may need to book an appointment at an optometrist clinic near you to relieve your dry eyes and protect them from further damage.
