Breakthrough Dry Eye Treatment: E>Eye – Ewan Stilwell Optometrist Mentone

Dry Eye Syndrome afflicts thousands of Australians.

Until recently, the only ‘treatment’ was lubricating eye drops. But all they do is provide very short term relief.
Now there’s a proven, painless and effective treatment that really makes a long term difference – E>Eye IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy. Just 3-4 treatments over a period of 6 weeks made a significant improvement in 86% of eyes treated in a recent study in New Zealand.A report by Associate Professor Jenny Craig of the Department of Ophthalmology, University of Auckland can be found here.

The Treatment

Each session only takes 3 to 5 minutes.
The skin is cleaned from any make-up or other cosmetics.
The optometrist places goggles on the patients’ eyes to protect them from the intense light generated by the device.
A clear gel is applied on the skin for the skin protection and optimum results.
A series of 5-6 flashes are applied under the lower eyelid.

Most people experience significant improvement after the second treatment, though some not until the third treatment. A fourth ‘top-up’ treatment may be recommended after several weeks.

To see if you’re dry eyes may be suitable for E>Eye IPL therapy, ring for a Dry Eye Assessment consultation – (03) 9583 0855.
