Radiofrequency

Radio frequency (RF) treatment involves the application of electromagnetic waves in the radio frequency range to the eyelids. Delivering controlled heat to the meibomian glands, stimulating glandular activity and improving the quality of meibum, the oily substance produced by the glands.

The benefits of radio frequency treatment for dry eye include:

Improved meibomian gland function: The controlled heat generated by the RF energy can help liquefy and express the thickened meibum, allowing for better glandular flow and secretion. This can help address the underlying blockages or dysfunction associated with meibomian gland dysfunction.
Enhanced tear film stability: By improving the quality and quantity of meibum, RF treatment can contribute to a more stable tear film, reducing tear evaporation and improving ocular surface lubrication.
Reduction in inflammation: RF treatment has been suggested to have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help alleviate the inflammation associated with meibomian gland dysfunction and dry eye.
Increasing collagen production in collagen producing cells.

Testimonials

Quickly updating about a year post-procedure, and am happy to report that I’m still rocking 20/20 vision. I experienced dry eyes for probably a few months post procedure – not too serious, but needed drops a couple times a day for comfort. I still use them once or twice a day, most-needed first thing in the a.m. Even after wearing significant correction for 30 years, there might be days or weeks at a time now where I don’t even think about my vision. It’s just a new fact of life that I can see well. I think that says about as much as I can say. Thanks again to the Eye LASIK team!

Thank you and your office for your kindness and care during my LASIK procedure. I am so happy. It is the most wonderful thing to wake up and see clearly!
