Advanced Dry Eye Treatments for Lasting Comfort
Dry eye occurs when your eyes either don’t produce enough tears or the tears you do produce lack the right balance of water, oils, and mucus to moisturize your eyes. Without proper lubrication, your eyes become vulnerable to irritation, discomfort, and even vision problems. At Long Grove and Glenview, we offer advanced treatments that relieve the symptoms of dry eye and address the underlying causes, providing you with long-lasting comfort and healthier eyes.
LipiFlow®: Blocked Gland Relief
Meibomian glands are located by the eyelashes, towards the edge of the eyelid. These glands secrete oils that lubricate the eye and moisten your tears. When the glands become blocked, dry eye develops.
The LipiFlow® system treats blocked meibomian glands, which are crucial for maintaining your eye’s natural moisture. Using gentle heat and light pressure, LipiFlow® unblocks these glands, restoring your tear film and relieving dry eye. This in-office treatment takes about 12 minutes and offers long-lasting results.
Targeted Dry Eye Relief with E-EYE IRPL
Eye Therapy
IRPL E-Eye is an innovative treatment that helps relieve the discomfort of dry eye caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). By using regulated, intense light pulses, E-Eye stimulates the glands around your eyes to improve natural tear production. This non-invasive procedure is gentle and quick, with many patients experiencing noticeable relief after just a few sessions. If you’re looking for a way to manage dry eye symptoms effectively, IRPL E-Eye may be the solution you need.
Skin & Eye Comfort with Tempsure® Envi
Tempsure Envi uses advanced radio frequency technology to treat dry eye and improve skin elasticity around the eyes. By gently heating the delicate skin and underlying tissues, Tempsure Envi stimulates collagen production, which supports the eye’s structure and relieves symptoms of dry eye. This comfortable, non-surgical treatment can enhance both eye health and appearance, helping you feel and look refreshed. It’s a safe option for patients wanting a dual benefit for eye comfort and skin rejuvenation.
