North Toronto Medical Optometry & Vision Care is committed to introducing innovative technology to help treat your dry eyes.
This is where radio frequency (RF) treatment comes in. What has been used in the cosmetic industry for some time to reduce wrinkles has also shown promise in treating meibomian gland dysfunction.
Your optometrist will recommend radio frequency treatment based on your unique needs. If you are experiencing dry eyes and looking for relief, get started today by booking your eye exam and consultation.
Radio frequency (RF) uses electrodes that are applied to your skin with a subdermal heating applicator. RF delivers these electrodes to the subdermal layers of the skin, warming the glands beneath the skin’s surface.
RF is used in both cosmetics and eye care:
In cosmetics—RF stimulates collagen growth and the production of elastin.
In eye care—RF warms the glands in the eyes, helping to clear blocked meibomian glands by essentially melting hardened oils, allowing them to flow more freely.
After receiving radio frequency treatments, you may experience tighter, younger-looking skin in addition to alleviated dry eye symptoms.
The type of treatment you will receive depends entirely on your unique symptoms and the severity of dry eyes. Your optometrist will be happy to meet with you to discuss options. Get in touch with us today.
