Dry Eye Treatment
What is Dry Eye?
Dry eye, a prevalent condition in Turkey and worldwide, occurs when the eyes fail to produce sufficient quality or quantity of tears. This leads to a persistent feeling of dryness, burning, stinging, redness, and blurred vision. Left untreated, dry eye can significantly diminish your quality of life and, in severe cases, cause lasting damage to the eye’s surface. At our clinic in Antalya, Turkey, we specialize in advanced dry eye treatment to restore comfort and eye health.
Causes of Dry Eye
Understanding the root cause is crucial for effective treatment. Factors contributing to dry eye include:
- Aging: Tear production naturally decreases with age.
- Environmental Factors: Exposure to wind, air conditioning, or dry air, and even prolonged periods in front of digital screens can accelerate tear evaporation.
- Prolonged Screen Use: Extended use of digital devices, a common modern habit, reduces blinking frequency, worsening symptoms.
- Contact Lenses: Wearing contact lenses for long periods can contribute to ocular surface dryness.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during menopause, can impact tear film stability.
Symptoms of Dry Eye
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to seek professional dry eye treatment in Turkey:
- A burning or stinging sensation
- Eye redness and irritation
- Blurred or fluctuating vision
- Sensitivity to light
- A gritty or "foreign body" sensation
- Eye fatigue and strain
Advanced IPL Treatment for Dry Eye
We offer the cutting-edge Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment for dry eye—a revolutionary and effective solution. This advanced technology specifically targets and relieves symptoms caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a leading cause of dry eye. By unblocking these crucial glands, IPL improves the quality and production of the oily layer of your tears, providing lasting relief.
Benefits of IPL Treatment:
- Painless and Quick Procedure: The procedure is comfortable and typically completed in just 15-20 minutes, allowing you to return to your day immediately.
- Long-Lasting Relief: IPL provides significant, long-term improvement in dry eye symptoms, reducing your reliance on artificial tears.
- Aesthetic Benefits: In addition to its therapeutic effects, IPL also offers a rejuvenating effect on the skin around the eyes.
How is IPL Treatment Performed?
- Pre-Examination: Before your treatment, we conduct a thorough eye exam to accurately diagnose the cause of your condition.
- IPL Application: The IPL device delivers targeted light pulses to the skin around the eyelids, gently treating the meibomian glands.
- Post-Treatment Care: You may experience slight, temporary redness, but you can resume your normal activities right away.
