dry eye and advanced treatements - Forma-I and lumecca-ipl


Dry eye disease is a condition that causes your eyes not to make enough tears, or an improper type of tears. This can make your eyes feel scratchy and uncomfortable and can also cause vision problems. Millions of Americans suffer from this frustrating condition. Some other symptoms include: 
  • A gritty feeling, like something is in your eye
  • Stinging or burning eyes
  • Red and irritated eyes
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Blurred vision that is either constant or fluctuates, especially when reading
  • Difficulty wearing contacts due to irritation

​At Lee Eye Care we’re proud to offer innovative therapeutic solutions like InMode Forma‑I radiofrequency and Lumecca IPL to treat chronic dry eye disease and eyelid inflammation. These cutting-edge modalities go beyond temporary relief—targeting root causes to restore comfort and protect your ocular health.

What Is InMode Forma‑I Radiofrequency Treatment?
Forma‑I radiofrequency (RF) delivers controlled thermal energy to the eyelids, stimulating internal tissues and meibomian glands. By increasing collagen production and promoting tear film stability, it helps treat meibomian gland dysfunction and persistent eyelid inflammation.

Benefits of Forma‑I
  • Non-invasive and precise warmth to restore gland function
  • No downtime, comfortable, and typically painless
  • Enhances eyelid tissue quality, reducing chronic irritation

What Is Lumecca IPL Therapy?Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses a broad spectrum light to clear abnormal blood vessels and inflammation around the eyelids. Originally developed for skin care, IPL has shown excellent results in managing dry eye and lid hygiene issues.

How Lumecca IPL Supports Eye Care
  • Reduces inflammation and improves tear duct function
  • Helps you produce more consistent, high-quality tears
  • Safe, in-office treatment with minimal discomfort

How These Technologies Work Together
Using Forma‑I and Lumecca IPL in tandem provides comprehensive care:
  1. Forma‑I RF supports tissue health and strengthens gland mechanics.
  2. Lumecca IPL targets eyelid inflammation and improves oil gland function.
  3. Combined treatment improves tear production and boosts tear film health for long-term comfort.
Together, they address both the gland and tissue aspects of dry eye symptoms.

Who Can Benefit from Forma‑I and Lumecca IPL?
These treatments are ideal for patients with:
  • Chronic dry eye syndrome not responding to drops or warm compresses
  • Persistent eyelid inflammation, redness, or swollen eyelids
  • Difficulty wearing contacts due to irritation
  • Meibomian gland dysfunction or frequent eye irritation

What to Expect During Treatment at Lee Eye Care
  1. Initial Evaluation includes tear film analysis and eyelid gland assessment.
  2. Personalized Treatment Plan, often 4-5  weekly sessions 
  3. During Treatment, most patients feel just mild warmth like a hot stone massage for the eyes.
  4. Results often begin after the first session and improve over time, enhancing comfort and contact lens wearability.

Restore Comfort and Clarity with Advanced Eye Care
If you’ve tried every eye drop, and used warm compress, without lasting relief, it’s time to experience the future of dry eye and eyelid inflammation treatment. InMode Forma‑I and Lumecca IPL are non-invasive, safe, and highly effective therapies that work at the source of discomfort.
