Dry Eye Treatment
About Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry Eye Syndrome is a common pathology affecting - depending on the area - more than 20% of the population. Females are more affected than males, while increasing age also contributes to greater prevalence. It is mainly caused by the conditions of the modern life (computer screens, driving cars, artificial lights, pollution, eye contact lenses etc.)
Dry Eye Syndrome is generally due to a meibomian gland dysfunction, also called posterior blepharitis. This results in the important oil layer of our tears being unstable and thinner than it should normally be. This leads to dryness, irritation, redness and blurred vision.
About the E-Eye
How does it work?
The E-Eye is an IPL device that generates a polychromatic pulsed light. The energy, spectrum and time period are precisely set to stimulate the meibomian glands in order for them to return their normal function.
About the Treatment
The treatment
Our Optometrist adjusts the goggles on the patient’s eyes and applies the hydrogel on the skin. A series of four flashes are applied under the lower eyelid. A session takes only a few minutes. No needles or injections are required.
The results
The results are visible a couple of hours after the treatment and the effect is cumulative. This improvement will last for about 2 weeks after the first treatment, four weeks after the second treatment, then for months afterwards after the third treatment.
Instant improvements
The E-Eye stimulation improves meibomian gland function in a very short time (a couple of hours) following treatment.
