Dry Eye Treatment

Dry Eye Treatment

We know just how bothersome and uncomfortable dry eyes can be! Whether your tear quality is poor or your eyes don’t produce enough tears, dry eye syndrome can cause extreme symptoms of discomfort, blurry vision, and may even result in damage to the ocular surface. 

Tired of constantly using artificial tears or warm compresses? Now you can say goodbye to the frustrating symptoms of dry eyes!

At our Calgary Dry Eye clinic, we are happy to be carrying the latest technology from InMode's Lumecca IPL - Forma RF and EndyMed's 3DEEP™ radiofrequency to treat your dry eyes. We call it “REVITAL-EYES”. Non-invasive and extremely powerful, this advanced light therapy works to address the root cause of your dry, itchy, or red eyes, AND it erases fine lines and wrinkles all at the same time! So ditch the eye drops, medications, and warm compresses, and welcome long-lasting dry eye relief, and a more youthful appearance with REVITAL-EYES!

REVITAL-EYES Treatments: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and/or Radio Frequency (RF) Treatments For Ultimate Results

At Blink Eyewear - Optometry, our REVITAL-EYES therapy for your Dry Eye treatment involves combining InMode's Lumecca intense pulsed light (IPL) and Forma radio frequency (RF) for superior results. It is ideal for patients with lighter to medium skin complexions.

For those with darker skin complexions, the EndyMed 3DEEP radio frequency (RF) penetrates the skin to target the blocked eyellid glands as well stimulating the production of collagen and elastin to give you a more youthful appearance.


Fully Customized Dry Eye Remedy - Inmode IPL Treatments in Calgary

Approved by Health Canada, The Inmode IPL is a revolutionary technology that targets the inflamed blood vessels in your eyelids which contribute to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, a leading cause of chronic dry eye syndrome.

Inmode's IPL and RF Technology Addresses The Root Cause of Dry Eyes For Long-Lasting Relief

This IPL technology uses gentle yet powerful light pulses to penetrate the tissue in your eyelids and target abnormal vessels that are causing inflammation and affecting the normal function of your glands.

Your body’s normal reaction to this treatment will remove the abnormal vessels, thus eliminating any inflammation while improving your skin’s overall appearance.

In addition to this, the controlled light heat works to:

  • Break up oil blockages in the glands that are preventing the production of healthy oils.
  • Target and remove any abnormal blood vessels that are causing inflammation.
  • Break apart any chalazion/styes.
  • Eradicate Demodex mites (this could be linked to some cases of dry eyes).
  • Make it easier to express stagnant meibum from the glands.
  • This proven treatment eliminates any eyelid inflammation with maximum safety and comfort and can be fully customized to suit your condition and skin type.

What can I expect from an EndyMed Radio Frequency or Inmode Forma RF Treatment?

The heating of the lids that are produced with this RF treatment has the ability to melt the waxy blockages that obstruct the meibomian glands, resulting in an improvement in dry eye symptoms.

Here’s what you can expect from your RF treatment:

  • The area treated will be cleansed for a cooling gel application.
  • Your therapist then will carefully use the RF handpiece to massage the wand and gel in a circular motion, gradually heating the skin layers around the eye to an optimal temperature that directly targets the collagen fibers.
  • The subdermal heat will clear the blocked Meibomian gland that is responsible for oil production while simultaneously improving the function and health of the oil-producing gland.
  • A fast procedure time of no more than 30 minutes.
Benefits of EndyMed 3DEEP Radio Frequency or Inmode Forma RF Treatments For Dry Eye Syndrome

This novel multipurpose radiofrequency treatment is safe, non-invasive and provides long-lasting solutions for dry eye syndrome, and fights wrinkles. Some of the benefits of this treatment include:

  • Quick 20-30 minute treatment.
  • You can return immediately to your daily routine after your session with little to no downtime.
  • Suitable for all skin types and tones.
  • Virtually painless, safe, and effective procedure.
  • Immediate and long-lasting results.
  • Stimulation of collagen production for more youthful-looking skin in the treatment area.
How many Revital-Eyes treatments will I require?

Although many patients notice an improvement in their condition after just one treatment, patients that received a series of 4 treatments on average (performed 3-4 weeks apart) have experienced optimal results. Your eye doctor may also recommend maintenance sessions every 12-18 months.

What side effects can I expect?

This is a non-invasive and gentle procedure. However, following your session, you may experience some temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treatment area, but these will dissipate quickly. Your eye doctor may ask you to stay out of direct sunlight for a few days following your treatment and to re-apply sunscreen.

Comprehensive Dry Eye Assessment

The first step to treatment is a comprehensive Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Assessment. Your optometrist will assess your skin type, condition, and medical history to create a fully tailored REVITAL-EYES program that will produce ultimate dry eye relief.
