Dry Eye Solutions Beyond Drops: Advanced Treatments for Lasting Relief
For many people, over-the-counter artificial tears provide temporary relief from dry eye symptoms. But what happens when eye drops are not enough? If you’re dealing with chronic dry eye, it might be time to explore advanced in-office treatments designed to address the root causes of your discomfort.
At LivingHope Vision Clinic, we offer state-of-the-art therapies that go beyond surface-level symptom relief, helping to restore comfort and eye health for the long term
Our Advanced In-Office Treatments
1. Radio Frequency Heat Therapy
This innovative treatment uses controlled radio frequency energy to deliver gentle heat to the eyelids.
How it works: The heat softens and unclogs meibomian gland blockages, improving the flow of oils needed to maintain a healthy tear film.
Benefits: Increased tear stability and relief from symptoms like dryness, irritation, and blurred vision.
Ideal for: Patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) or evaporative dry eye.
2. Infrared Pulse Light Therapy
Infrared Pulse Light (IPL) therapy reduces inflammation and stimulates the meibomian glands to produce better-quality oils.
How it works: Pulses of light are applied to the skin around the eyes to reduce inflammatory markers and improve gland function.
Benefits: Alleviates redness, irritation, and inflammation while promoting healthier tear production.
Ideal for: Patients with rosacea-related dry eye or chronic inflammation.
3. ZEST/Blephex Treatment
Blephex is a deep-cleaning treatment designed to remove biofilm and debris from the eyelid margins.
How it works: A precision handpiece gently exfoliates the eyelids, removing irritants that contribute to dry eye and blepharitis.
Benefits: Reduced eyelid inflammation, improved tear quality, and relief from symptoms like crusting and irritation.
Ideal for: Patients with blepharitis or chronic eyelid inflammation.
4. Meibomian Gland Expression
This manual treatment helps to clear blockages in the meibomian glands, ensuring a healthy flow of oils into the tear film. Typically conducted post-Radio Frequency heat therapy.
How it works: Gentle pressure is applied to the eyelids to express thickened or clogged oils.
Benefits: Immediate relief from symptoms and enhanced gland function over time.
Ideal for: Patients with stubborn gland blockages or advanced MGD.
