The Future of Dry Eye Prevention: Transforming Eye Care with Envision at Shades Optical

In the dynamic realm of eye care, Shades Optical leads the way in innovation, presenting Envision – a revolutionary, nonsurgical device setting new benchmarks for delicate procedures with a specific focus on preventing dry eyes. Envision seamlessly incorporates advanced modalities like Forma-I and Lumecca-I, offering precise treatments that transcend conventional approaches by addressing the fundamental factors contributing to dry eye conditions.

At Shades Optical, our dedication extends beyond enhancing vision to prioritize proactive dry eye prevention. Amidst the pervasive influence of digital devices, recent studies by Johnson & Johnson, a prominent contact lens company, reveal alarming statistics. The average U.S. individual spends approximately 12 hours a day on digital devices, a duration deemed excessive. This prolonged digital exposure leads to a significant drop in our natural blink rate by two-thirds, a major contributor to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and dry eyes.

Moreover, the meibomian glands, critical for tear production, face challenges in this digital age. Prolonged device use can result in the clogging of these glands. When left unaddressed for an extended period, these glands may reach a point of no return, causing them to "drop out" irreversibly.

In response to these emerging challenges, Envision becomes not just a solution but a proactive shield against the digital strain on our eyes. It's a comprehensive approach to eye care, reflecting our commitment at Shades Optical to not only improve eye health but also to prevent and safeguard against the rising tide of dry eye symptoms.

Unlocking the Potential of Envision for Dry Eye Prevention:

Envision is not just a cosmetic enhancement; it’s a revolutionary tool for preventing and alleviating dry eye symptoms. Let’s explore how each modality—Forma-I and Lumecca-I —plays a crucial role in promoting optimal eye health.

Forma-I for Dry Eye Relief:

  • Symptoms Addressed: Dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction, clogged tear ducts, eyelid inflammation, sagging skin around the eyes.

  • How It Works: Forma-I utilizes bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to stimulate collagen formation, improve blood circulation, and open up clogged meibomian glands. This results in enhanced tear production and secretion, reducing inflammation and promoting overall eye health.

Dry eye is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly. This causes the eyes to feel dry, irritated, and uncomfortable. Dry eye can also affect vision quality and increase the risk of eye infections and complications.

One of the main causes of dry eye is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which is a disorder of the oil-producing glands in the eyelids. These glands secrete oil that helps lubricate the eyes and prevent tear evaporation. When these glands become clogged or inflamed, they cannot produce enough oil, leading to dry eye symptoms.

Forma-I is a technology that uses bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat up the subdermal layers of the skin. RF energy is a type of electromagnetic energy that can penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production, blood circulation, and tissue remodeling. Forma-I has a small applicator that can deliver precise and controlled RF energy to the delicate areas around the eyes, such as the eyelids and the tear ducts.

By applying Forma-I to the eyelids, the RF energy can help unclog the meibomian glands and improve their function. This can increase the oil production and secretion, which can enhance the tear quality and quantity. By applying Forma-I to the tear ducts, the RF energy can help open up the ducts and improve the tear drainage. This can prevent the tears from overflowing and causing irritation.

Forma-I can also help reduce inflammation and infection in the eyes and eyelids, by stimulating the immune system and bringing white blood cells and stem cells to the area. This can help heal any damage and prevent any complications.

Forma-I can also help tighten and smooth the skin around the eyes, by stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity. This can help reduce the sagging and wrinkling of the skin, which can make the eyes look tired and aged.

Forma-I is a comfortable and relaxing procedure that feels like a warm massage in the eye area. It takes about 15 minutes per session and has no downtime or side effects. Forma-I can be followed by a Meibomian Gland expression, which is a manual technique that squeezes out the oil from the glands. This can further improve the tear quality and quantity.

Lumecca-I for Inflammatory Dry Eye:

  • Symptoms Addressed: Ocular rosacea, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, inflammatory dry eye.

  • How It Works: Lumecca-I employs intense pulsed light (IPL) to control the inflammatory process, decrease demodex, and close off blood vessels that release inflammation. It effectively treats ocular rosacea and inflammatory dry eye, providing relief from discomfort and irritation.

Ocular rosacea is a condition that affects the eyes and eyelids of people who have rosacea, which is a chronic skin disorder that causes redness and inflammation on the face. Ocular rosacea can cause the eyes and eyelids to become red, swollen, and inflamed. It can also cause dry eye symptoms, such as burning, itching, and sensitivity to light. Ocular rosacea can also affect the meibomian glands, causing them to become clogged or infected.

Inflammatory dry eye is a type of dry eye that is caused by inflammation in the eyes and eyelids. It can be triggered by various factors, such as allergies, infections, autoimmune diseases, or environmental irritants. Inflammatory dry eye can cause the eyes to produce less tears or more inflammatory substances, which can worsen the dry eye symptoms and damage the eye surface.

Lumecca-I is a technology that uses intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat pigmented and vascular lesions on the skin. IPL is a type of light therapy that delivers powerful bursts of light that heat up and destroy the unwanted pigment or blood vessels. Lumecca-I is the most powerful IPL device on the market, designed to provide a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment. IPL has been FDA approved for more than 15 years to remove superficial skin lesions.

Lumecca-I can also be used to treat ocular rosacea and inflammatory dry eye, by applying the light to the skin around the eyes and eyelids. Lumecca-I can help control the inflammatory process and stop the vicious cycle of inflammation, by reducing the production and release of inflammatory substances in the eyes and eyelids. Lumecca-I can also help decrease demodex and bacteria around the eyelids, which are microscopic mites and germs that can cause infections and complications. Lumecca-I can also help close off blood vessels that release inflammation in ocular rosacea, by heating up and coagulating the blood vessels.

Lumecca-I can provide relief from dry eye symptoms and improve eye health and appearance, by reducing redness, irritation, and inflammation in the eyes and eyelids. Lumecca-I can also improve the skin quality and appearance, by removing pigmentation and vascular lesions, such as age spots, sun damage, freckles, or spider veins.

Lumecca-I is a quick and easy procedure that takes about 15 minutes per session and has no downtime or side effects. During the treatment, there will be a bright flash of light and a sensation on the skin that feels like a light snap from an elastic band. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after the treatment and usually subside within an hour.
