Soothing Relief for Dry Eyes: How HydroEye and InMode Treatments Help

If you’ve ever dealt with dry, irritated eyes, you know how disruptive it can be. The burning, itchiness, and gritty sensation can interfere with everything from reading and screen time to simply enjoying the outdoors. At Downtown Vision, we understand how frustrating dry eye can be—and we offer advanced, in-office solutions that go beyond over-the-counter drops.
 

What Is Dry Eye?

Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the quality of your tears isn’t sufficient to keep the surface of the eyes properly lubricated. This can lead to symptoms like burning, stinging, redness, sensitivity to light, and a gritty or sandy sensation in the eyes. Often caused by factors such as aging, screen time, environmental conditions, blepharitis, or underlying issues like meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), dry eye can range from mild discomfort to chronic irritation. Left untreated, it can affect your vision and overall eye health, making early diagnosis and effective treatment essential.
 

Starting from the Inside: Nutritional Support with HydroEye

One of the most effective ways to support eye comfort begins from within. We offer HydroEye, a clinically backed supplement available at our office. HydroEye is a unique blend of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, antioxidants, and key nutrients specifically formulated to promote a healthy tear film and reduce inflammation.
 

These nutrients work together to support the natural production and quality of your tears while calming the inflammation that often contributes to dry eye. By giving your body what it needs to maintain proper eye moisture and tear stability, HydroEye offers continuous relief that’s easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
 

Advanced In-Office Treatments with InMode IPL and Forma-I RF

While nutritional support is a great foundation, many patients benefit from in-office treatments that address the root causes of dry eye, particularly meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and inflammation.
 

We offer two powerful technologies to treat dry eye at its source:

  • InMode IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): This non-invasive treatment uses gentle light pulses to reduce inflammation, improve tear stability, and unclog oil glands. It’s especially effective for patients with inflammatory skin conditions like ocular rosacea that exacerbate dry eye.

  • Forma-I RF (Radiofrequency): Using controlled radiofrequency energy, Forma-I gently heats the eyelid area to stimulate oil gland function. This helps improve the quality of the tear film and provides long-term relief. As a bonus, it also firms the skin around the eyes for a more refreshed appearance.
