Innovative Treatments for Dry Eye: Radiofrequency and Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that affects people of all ages, often making it difficult to read, drive, or spend time outdoors, especially in Texas’s dry and windy climate. At Paramount Eye Care and Eyewear, we’re proud to serve the Lucas community with advanced solutions that go beyond eye drops. Two of the most effective treatments we offer are Radiofrequency (RF) and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, powered by Envision by InMode.
 

What is Dry Eye Syndrome?

Dry eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. This can be due to aging, hormonal changes, medications, or underlying conditions such as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) - a common culprit of evaporative dry eye.
 

Understanding Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy for Dry Eye

Radiofrequency therapy uses gentle thermal energy to stimulate collagen production and improve circulation around the eyes. This treatment helps restore function to the Meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily layer of your tears. By improving gland function, RF therapy helps reduce tear evaporation, alleviating the burning, gritty sensation associated with dry eyes.
 

Benefits of RF treatment include:

• Rejuvenation of the Meibomian glands

• Reduction in eyelid inflammation

• Enhanced tear film stability

• Non-invasive, pain-free procedure with no downtime
   

What is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy?

Originally used in dermatology, IPL therapy is now a breakthrough treatment in eye care. It works by delivering controlled pulses of light to the skin around the eyes, targeting inflammation and clogged glands. This reduces inflammation in the eyelid margin and helps restore natural tear production.
 

Benefits of IPL therapy include:

• Reduction in inflammation caused by ocular rosacea or MGD

• Stimulation of healthy oil production

• Improvement in tear quality and eye comfort

• Long-lasting relief with a series of treatments
