Find Lasting Relief from Dry, Irritated Eyes
Dry eye disease can make everyday activities—like reading, driving, or using screens—uncomfortable. Common symptoms include burning, redness, watery eyes, blurred vision, and a gritty sensation that doesn’t go away.
For many patients, the underlying cause isn’t simply a lack of tears—it’s a condition called meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). These tiny oil glands in your eyelids help keep your tears from evaporating too quickly. When they become blocked or inflamed, your tear film becomes unstable, leading to chronic dryness and irritation.
At Auburn Westboro Eye Associates, we offer advanced, in-office treatments that go beyond artificial tears to address the root cause of dry eye.
What Causes Dry Eye?
Dry eye is often multifactorial, but one of the most common contributors is MGD. When the glands aren’t producing enough healthy oil:
- Tears evaporate too quickly
- The eye surface becomes inflamed
- Symptoms become chronic and harder to manage
Traditional treatments like eye drops and warm compresses may provide temporary relief—but they often don’t correct the underlying issue.
Advanced Dry Eye Treatment with Envision by InMode
We offer Envision by InMode, a non-surgical, drug-free technology that combines multiple therapies to treat dry eye at its source.
This innovative platform uses two complementary treatments:
Forma-I (Radiofrequency Therapy)
Forma-I uses gentle radiofrequency energy to safely warm the eyelids and surrounding tissue.
Benefits include:
- Helps liquefy and release blocked oils in the glands
- Improves natural oil flow into the tear film
- Reduces inflammation around the eyes
- Stimulates collagen production for healthier eyelid function
By restoring proper gland function, Forma-I helps your eyes maintain long-lasting moisture.
Lumecca-I (Intense Pulsed Light – IPL)
Lumecca-I uses targeted light pulses to treat inflammation and improve tear quality.
How it works:
- Reduces abnormal blood vessels that contribute to inflammation
- Improves function of meibomian glands
- Enhances tear film stability for better hydration
- Helps eliminate bacteria and debris that worsen symptoms
IPL therapy is especially effective for patients with ocular rosacea or inflammatory dry eye.
Why Patients Choose Envision for Dry Eye Relief
Unlike temporary solutions, Envision treatments are designed to correct the underlying causes of dry eye.
Patients often experience:
- Improved comfort and reduced irritation
- Better tear stability and hydration
- Clearer, more consistent vision
- Reduced dependence on eye drops
Because Forma-I and Lumecca-I work together, they provide a comprehensive approach—addressing both gland dysfunction and inflammation at the same time.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Treatments are performed in-office and are quick and comfortable
- Most sessions take about 15–30 minutes
- A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results
- Many patients notice improvement after just a few visits
Your care plan will be customized based on your symptoms and the severity of your condition.
