At Big Sky Eye Care, we understand how disruptive dry eye can be to your daily life. From blurred vision to constant irritation, it’s more than just discomfort—it’s a condition that can affect work, hobbies, and overall quality of life. That’s why we offer Envision Dry Eye Treatment, an innovative approach designed to treat the root causes of dry eye, not just the symptoms.
If you’re curious about how Envision works, we’ve put together this helpful guide to answer your most common questions.
What is Envision Dry Eye Treatment?
Envision is a cutting-edge, non-invasive therapy that combines two advanced technologies:
- Lumecca-I (IPL): Intense pulsed light that reduces inflammation and clears blocked oil glands.
- Forma-I (RF): Radiofrequency energy that gently heats tissue, improving circulation and gland function.
Together, they help restore natural tear production, reduce irritation, and improve eye comfort.
How is Envision different from eye drops or other treatments?
Artificial tears and medications can provide temporary relief but often don’t address the underlying cause. Envision targets the blocked meibomian glands and inflammation that drive dry eye disease. The result is longer-lasting comfort and healthier eyes.
Is the treatment painful?
No. Envision treatments are quick, non-surgical, and virtually pain-free. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth on the skin around their eyes.
When will I notice results?
Some patients feel relief after the first session, but most notice significant improvement after the second or third treatment. Results continue to build with the recommended series of sessions.
How many treatments will I need?
For best results, we typically recommend four sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Your optometrist will customize the plan based on your symptoms and needs.
What should I expect after treatment?
- No downtime—you can return to normal activities right away.
- Some patients may notice mild redness or warmth around the treated area for a few hours.
- Improvements in comfort and vision often build with each treatment.
Is Envision safe?
Yes. Envision is FDA-approved and performed by trained professionals. It’s a safe and effective option for most patients, including those who want to avoid medications or surgery.
What are the benefits beyond dry eye relief?
In addition to relieving dry eye symptoms, Envision treatments can:
- Reduce redness and inflammation from rosacea.
- Improve skin texture, minimizing fine lines, redness, and pigmentation spots.
- Support overall eye health and clearer vision.
Who is a good candidate for Envision?
Envision may be right for you if you:
- Use eye drops multiple times a day with little relief.
- Experience frequent irritation, tearing, or burning sensations.
- Suffer from meibomian gland dysfunction (blocked oil glands).
- Want a safe, drug-free, long-lasting solution for dry eye.
What do other patients say about Envision?
Our patients have shared incredible success stories:
- “After years of dry eye following LASIK, Envision gave me my quality of life back.”
- “I’ve gone from using drops 6–8 times a day to just morning and night.”
- “Not only are my eyes more comfortable, but my skin looks clearer, too.”
