Radiofrequency Dry Eye Treatment in Decatur

Schedule Appointment

Dry, gritty, burning, or watery eyes can occur when the oil-producing meibomian glands along your eyelids become blocked. These glands produce the oil layer of your tears, which helps prevent tears from evaporating too quickly. When that oil flow is disrupted, your eyes may feel irritated even when you use artificial tears. 

Dr. Jonathan Davis offers radiofrequency treatment for dry eye using the Forma-I attachment on the Envision by InMode platform. This gentle, non-invasive treatment delivers controlled heat around the eyelids to soften thickened oils, support healthier gland function, and improve tear stability. 

How radiofrequency may help dry eye 

Radiofrequency therapy uses heat generated by radio waves to warm the tissues around the eyelids comfortably. This warmth can help soften oils within the meibomian glands, allowing them to flow more normally and better support the tear film. 

Radiofrequency may be helpful for patients experiencing: 

  • Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) 
  • Dry, gritty, or burning eyes 
  • Fluctuating vision related to dry eye 
  • Irritation caused by tear evaporation 
  • Contact lens discomfort related to dryness 

A dry eye evaluation can help Dr. Davis determine whether MGD, inflammation, or another issue is contributing to your symptoms. 

Radiofrequency and IPL work together 

Radiofrequency and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment may be recommended together for certain patients. Radiofrequency supports healthier oil flow from the meibomian glands, while IPL helps address eyelid inflammation that can contribute to dry eye. 

Using these treatments together can address more than one factor behind evaporative dry eye. Dr. Davis will recommend a plan based on your symptoms, tear film, eyelid health, and daily visual needs. 

What to expect 

Treatment is performed in the office and is typically comfortable. Gentle heat is applied around the eyelids without touching the surface of your eyes. Your care team will explain the process, answer questions, and provide recommendations based on your treatment plan. 

Radiofrequency may also support collagen production in the treated area, which can improve skin texture and the appearance of fine lines around the eyes.
