As autumn leaves begin to fall and winter chill creeps in, the picturesque landscapes of New Jersey come alive. However, for many residents, this season also brings a familiar and uncomfortable companion — dry eyes. The shift to cooler weather, indoor heating, and brisk winds can irritate your eyes.
Discover relief from dry eyes during the colder months in the heart of New Jersey. Our Cinnaminson location offers innovative treatments that combine MiBoFlo and low-level light therapy to conquer the dry eye season. These powerful duo treatments are your secret weapons to overcome dry eyes and enjoy the season joyfully.
The Commonality of Dry Eye
Dry eye is a prevalent condition affecting millions of people in the United States alone. It occurs when the eyes don't produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly. While it can affect anyone, it becomes more noticeable and problematic during the fall and winter.
Introducing MiBoFlo: A Breakthrough in Dry Eye Treatment
MiBoFlo is a revolutionary treatment designed to target the root causes of dry eye disease and meibomian gland dysfunction. MiBoFlo works by delivering consistent warming heat to the eyelids and meibomian glands.
This gentle and soothing heat promotes an increased flow of natural tear oils from the meibomian glands, enhancing the tear film and relieving dry eye symptoms. The treatment is therapeutic, delivers lasting benefits, and is immediately relaxing, offering relief from eye strain.
The MiBoFlo Treatment Process
The MiBoFlo treatment involves the application of continuously controlled heat to the outer skin of the eyelids. This heat, combined with ultrasound gel for a gentle massage, penetrates deep into the tissues, breaking down hardened lipids in the meibomian glands. The treatment is completely painless, with no side effects, and is particularly soothing for those experiencing eye strain.
A series of three treatments, spaced two weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results. After this initial cycle, individuals may require a fourth treatment. Many patients find that they can go up to 12 months before needing additional treatment, although some prefer to receive frequent treatments for the comfort and spa-like experience they provide.
Low-Level Light Therapy: Another Weapon Against Dry Eye
In addition to MiBoFlo, our Cinnaminson location also offers low-level light therapy as part of our comprehensive dry eye care. This non-invasive treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the production of natural tears and reduce inflammation in the eyes. It can be an excellent complement to MiBoFlo for patients seeking a multi-pronged approach to managing dry eye.
