How RF (Forma-I) & IPL (Lumecca) Work Together to Treat Dry Eye

Dry eye syndrome can be more than a minor irritation. For many, it causes chronic discomfort, blurry vision, and frustration when over-the-counter remedies no longer provide relief. At Eclipse Eyecare, our mission is to help you find lasting comfort with advanced dry eye treatments in Lewisville. Dr. Brandon Lee specializes in modern therapies designed to target the root causes of dry eye, not just the symptoms.

Understanding the Root Cause of Dry Eye

For many patients, dry eye is linked to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). The meibomian glands produce the oily layer of your tears. When these glands become clogged or inflamed, your tears evaporate too quickly, resulting in burning, redness, and irritation. RF and IPL address MGD by reducing inflammation and restoring healthy oil flow.

What Is RF (Forma-I)?

Radiofrequency (Forma-I) therapy uses controlled thermal energy to gently heat the eyelids and surrounding tissues. This warmth helps:

•           Melt thickened or blocked oils in the meibomian glands

•           Stimulate gland function and oil production

•           Improve tear stability

Many patients also enjoy a secondary cosmetic benefit as RF can tighten the eyelid skin and promote collagen production.

What Is IPL (Lumecca)?

Intense Pulsed Light (Lumecca) is a light-based therapy that targets inflammation and abnormal blood vessels around the eyes. These vessels can release inflammatory mediators that worsen MGD and dry eye symptoms.

IPL treatment helps:

•           Reduce inflammation along the eyelids

•           Improve meibomian gland performance

•           Minimize redness and irritation

•           Address underlying skin conditions like ocular rosacea

Why Combining RF & IPL Enhances Results

Although both treatments are effective individually, combining Forma-I and Lumecca can produce even more impactful and longer-lasting relief.

Together, they:

•           Provide a deeper and more comprehensive gland treatment

•           Address both inflammation and gland obstruction

•           Improve the quality of the tear film

•           Help prevent future flare-ups

Patients often notice improved comfort after the very first session, with optimal results after completing a personalized treatment plan created by Dr. Lee.
