Factors that cause progression of dry eye disease include diet, age, autoimmune conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, sjogren’s , etc), hormonal changes (peri-menopausal, menopausal, thyroid, etc), and post surgery (lasik, cataract, blepharoplasty, etc) computer/digital device use, contact lens wear, eyelid hygiene, certain health conditions, tobacco use, vaping, and many others.
Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments for dry eye, like artificial tears, may provide temporary relief for some, but they don't address the underlying causes of the condition. Dry eye can be triggered by factors such as inflammation, meibomian gland dysfunction, or tear film instability, which OTC products aren’t designed to treat.
Lumecca-I uses pulses of light to treat the underlying causes of dry eye. It's a painless procedure done in an optometrist's office. IPL targets the skin and leaky blood vessels around the eyes, reducing inflammation and any bacterial growth in the area around your eyes. The energy from the light helps break the buildup of oil or other debris blocking the meibomian glands that produce oil for tears.
This exciting in-officce treatment is designed specifically for the treatment of dry eye, demodex, and blepharitis. It works by gently exfoliating the eyelids to restore the natural state of the eyelids. It is a deep and thorough cleaning, comprehensively cleaning the eyelids and lashes so that they are free from debris, mites, and bacteria. It is particularly effective in helping to lift and clear oil, dirt, and debris along the margins of the eyelids. It contains properties that help to calm and soothe the skin to counteract inflammation and irritation. It is great for people who have chronic itchy eyes, work in dusty or dander filled environments, wear lash extensions, and more!
Forma-I (Radiofrequency) dry eye treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses radio waves to stimulate the meibomian glands in the eyelids. This helps to improve the quality and quantity of the oil layer in tears, which can alleviate symptoms of dry eye. It has the added benefit of producing collagen and elastin, which help minimize fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. The treatment is typically performed in-office and takes about 20 minutes. It is considered safe and effective for most patients.

What causes dry eye?

Aging
Prolonged screen time
Hormonal changes
Environmental factors (wind, air conditioning, or smoke)
Certain medications (antihistamines, antidepressants, etc.)
Medical conditions like blepharitis
What treatments do you offer for dry eye?
At Visionaire Optometric Spa, we provide advanced, non-invasive treatments to address the root causes of dry eye. Our offerings include:
Lumecca-I (IPL Therapy)
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy targets the inflammation associated with dry eye by improving the function of your meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oil layer of your tears. It also reduces redness and treats conditions like rosacea that can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
ZEST (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment)
A gentle yet powerful eyelid treatment that removes debris, bacteria, and biofilm buildup along the lash line. This deep-cleaning procedure improves eyelid health and enhances the quality of your tears.
Forma-I
A non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) treatment that uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen production and improve the function of the meibomian glands. Forma-I helps restore the natural tear film and reduces symptoms of dry eye while providing a rejuvenating effect for the delicate skin around the eyes.
What results can I expect from dry eye treatments?
Results vary depending on the treatment and the severity of your condition, but many patients experience:
Significant reduction in symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and blurry vision.
Improved tear quality and stability.
Better eyelid and meibomian gland function.
A healthier, more comfortable ocular surface.
Most patients notice improvement within 1–2 sessions, but optimal results are typically achieved with a series of treatments. Our team will work with you to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
Are dry eye treatments covered by insurance?
Most advanced dry eye treatments, such as Lumecca-I (IPL), ZEST, and Forma-I, are considered elective or cosmetic procedures and are not typically covered by insurance. We recommend contacting your insurance provider for details.
"Last week I left a review about how amazing my family and I's eye exams were and how incredible everyone else is, it truly feels like a family! But not only did our glasses come so quickly after that (a week later, we've been to other establishments and waited for 2 almost 3 weeks) but our prescriptions to our glasses are TOP TIER! So accurate and so spot on!
My mom has been to many eye doctors who just could not get it right so she would have to use glasses that were years and years old. Today she went in, and they finally got it right! She cried! Because someone finally went above and beyond to make sure they got it right.
I can't tell y'all enough how much I recommend this place! If you see my review and you've been wanting to check this place out....DO IT!"
