At Elora Optometry, we want you to experience comfortable vision. Our dry eye treatments include blepharitis treatment, artificial tears, omega-3 supplements, and Bruder hydrating heat masks.
Depending on the causes of your symptoms, we will offer you one or multiple treatment solutions so you can get back to living life with clear and comfortable vision.
InMode RF treatment uses radiofrequency energy to generate heat, which is applied to the skin around the eyes. This heat stimulates collagen formation, bringing white blood cells and stem cells to the skin around your eyes while reducing inflammation.
InMode IPL therapy uses intense pulsed light to reduce inflammation and stimulate the production of natural oils in the eyes. This can improve the overall health of your tear film and help to alleviate the symptoms associated with dry eyes.
ZEST treatments are made with all-natural ingredients, including tea tree oil, chamomile, and green tea extract. These ingredients work together to soothe and hydrate your eyes, helping to reduce inflammation and promote healthy tear production.
ZEST works by removing bacteria, debris, oil, and residue from the eyelids with gentle exfoliation.
