Dry eye

Burning eyes? Red eyes? Eye fatigue? A feeling of dust in your eye? Light sensitivity? Watering eyes? Unstable vision?

If you have one or more of these symptoms, you may be suffering from DRY EYE, a condition that affects over 30% of the population. Many people tolerate this discomfort without knowing they have this chronic progressive disease. Moreover, due to the increasing amount of time spent in front of screens, those affected are getting younger and younger.

If left untreated, dry eye can lead to more serious and irreversible problems. Prevention is the key.

What is dry eye?

Dry eyes are caused by a lack of the water and oil needed to lubricate the eye. The purpose of these substances is to protect the surface of the eye from drying out. The Meibomius glands are primarily responsible for producing this oil, which is crucial for maintaining eye protection. When atrophied and left untreated, these glands can develop into a chronic condition known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). Even without intensifying symptoms, MGD can worsen, leaving irreversible damage.

Services offered

  • Dry eye consultation
  • Personalized plan according to needs
  • Dry eye follow-up
  • Radiofrequency treatment

A sustainable solution

Radiofrequency heat treatment with the Cynosure device

The energy produced by the radiofrequency heats its tip, which is applied to the eye contour in constant movement. This applied heat unblocks atrophied glands in the eyelid. This allows the Meibomious glands to regenerate their lubricating agent and return to using it to protect the eye.

The number of treatments required can only be determined during the dry eye consultation with the technician, and it is possible to book an appointment even if the eye examinations are being carried out elsewhere.
