Envision Dry Eye Treatment

Envision is an advanced, in-office dry eye treatment system offered by Downey Eye Care that addresses the underlying causes of dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Using two innovative technologies—Forma-I Radiofrequency (RF) and Lumecca-I Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)—Envision helps improve tear production, reduce inflammation, and promote longterm relief from dry eye symptoms.

Envision treatments provide several benefits for patients suffering from dry eye disease and MGD, including:

• Improved function of the meibomian glands for healthier tear production.
• Reduction of inflammation associated with dry eye and ocular rosacea.
• Decreased bacteria and Demodex mites around the eyelids.
• Reduced dependence on medications for dry eye management.
• Long-lasting symptom relief by treating the root cause of dry eye.
• Non-invasive, in-office procedures with no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime.
• Additional cosmetic benefits, including smoother skin, reduced wrinkles, diminished dark spots, and a more youthful appearance around the eyes.

Envision combines two treatment technologies:

Forma-I Radiofrequency (RF)
Forma-I uses controlled radiofrequency energy to gently heat the skin around the eyes. This process stimulates collagen production, increases circulation of white blood cells and stem cells, reduces inflammation, and helps open blocked meibomian glands. Improved gland function supports healthier tear production and secretion. RF treatments are often followed by meibomian gland expression to maximize results.

Lumecca-I Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
Lumecca-I delivers precise pulses of light to reduce inflammation and interrupt the cycle of dry eye disease. IPL is effective for treating ocular rosacea, meibomian gland dysfunction, and inflammatory dry eye. The treatment also helps reduce bacteria and Demodex mites on the eyelids while closing abnormal blood vessels that contribute to inflammation.

All treatments are performed in the office and are generally comfortable for patients. Treatment plans are customized based on each patient’s condition, and the number of sessions recommended will vary to achieve optimal results. Most patients experience little to no side effects, and any mild skin reactions typically resolve within a few hours. There is no recovery period or downtime required following treatment.
