("Dry Eye Syndrome, Ocular Surface Disease")
Dry Eye Disease is a medical condition that can affect your quality of life. If left untreated, it leaves your eyes and cornea vulnerable to damage. Having dry eye disease can make you a poor candidate for eye surgery (LASIK, cataract surgery, SMILE, PRK, blepharoplasty).
Dry eye causes vary, but if your root cause is related to inflammation, we provide some unique options.
Le Eye Spa offers a variety of treatments that specifically target inflammation including FDA-approved Optilight Intense Pulse Light (IPL), FDA-cleared Optiplus radiofrequency (RF), lid cleaning/exfoliation and low level light therapy (LLLT). Depending on the severity of your dry eye disease, it may be tackled with multiple treatments and sessions to get you on your way to feeling and seeing your best. What's great about some of these treatments is that not only do they manage the symptoms of dry eye, but in addition provide an aesthetic, anti-aging benefit to the eyelid area!
Your initial consultation exam with the doctor will help determine what treatment is best for you.
