Dry Eye Relief in 2 Minutes
Gentle Heat & Pressure to Improve Eyelid Gland Function
The prevalence of dry eye is on the rise. It is estimated that 30 million people in the USA suffer from the symptoms which can include:
Itching
Stinging
Redness
Light sensitivity
Eye fatigue
Blurry vision
Not all dry eye is the same. These symptoms can be the result of excessive digital screen time for work or entertainment, often because we forget to blink. Certain eye surgeries (such as LASIK or cataract surgery), can exacerbate dry eye. However, many people have problems with their glands that cause Evaporative Dry Eye.
Evaporative Dry Eye
Tears are necessary to help lubricate, protect and nourish our eyes. Without a steady flow of tears, eye irritation will result. In Evaporative Dry Eye, the meibomian glands can start to deteriorate or become blocked which leads to a shortage of protective oil on the surface of your eyes and quicker-than-normal evaporation of the tear layer.
Tixel i treatments focus on rejuvenating the eyelid glands so your tear layer is well-balanced and does not evaporate as quickly.
What to Expect During
Tixel i Treatment
All you need to do is relax! The clinician will gently cleanse your eyelid areas and an analgesic gel may be applied prior to treatments. The disinfected handset is placed gently on your upper and lower eyelids so short pulses of heat can be applied through a matrix of superficial thermal dots to improve gland function. You’ll feel warmth and gentle pressure on your eyelids for a total of 2 minutes for both eyes. Immediately after treatment, you may experience temporary eye watering or blurry vision.
For maximum relief, most patients complete 3 Tixel i treatments spaced 2 weeks apart.
