Advanced Dry Eye Relief at Eye Was Framed Eyecare

How IPL and FORMA Are Transforming Ocular Comfort

At Eye Was Framed Eyecare, we believe exceptional vision care goes beyond seeing clearly—it’s about lasting comfort, eye health, and quality of life. Under the clinical leadership of Dr. Dawn Tuminello and Dr. Nicole Lang, our practice proudly offers the most advanced therapies available for dry eye disease and ocular surface dysfunction: IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and FORMA Radio Frequency therapy.
These innovative, non-invasive treatments allow us to address dry eye at its source—not just manage symptoms.

Why Dry Eye Requires a More Advanced Approach
Dry eye disease is complex and progressive. Many patients struggle for years with:

• Burning, gritty, or irritated eyes
• Redness and inflammation
• Fluctuating or blurry vision
• Heavy dependence on artificial tears

Traditional treatments can help, but they often provide only temporary relief. At Eye Was Framed Eyecare, Dr. Tuminello and Dr. Lang focus on identifying and treating the underlying cause, most commonly meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and chronic inflammation.
That’s where IPL and FORMA make a meaningful difference.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light): Calming Inflammation, Restoring Balance

IPL therapy uses carefully controlled pulses of light applied to the skin around the eyes to reduce inflammation and improve tear quality.
Benefits of IPL at Eye Was Framed Eyecare

• Reduces abnormal blood vessels that fuel chronic inflammation
• Improves oil flow from the meibomian glands
• Decreases bacteria and Demodex linked to lid disease
• Enhances tear film stability for clearer, more comfortable vision

IPL is especially effective for patients with evaporative dry eye, rosacea-related eye disease, and chronic eyelid inflammation.
Many of our patients notice improvement early in the treatment series, with continued benefits as therapy progresses.

FORMA Radio Frequency Therapy: Gentle Heat, Powerful Results

FORMA uses radio frequency energy to deliver consistent, therapeutic heat to the eyelids and surrounding tissues.
How FORMA Supports Eye Health

• Melts thickened oils blocking the meibomian glands
• Improves circulation and tissue health around the eyes
• Supports healthy blinking and lid function
• Relieves tension and eye fatigue

Unlike warm compresses at home, FORMA delivers precise, uniform heat at an optimal depth, making treatment more effective and more comfortable.

The Power of Combining IPL and FORMA

While each treatment is highly effective on its own, Dr. Tuminello and Dr. Lang often recommend a combined IPL + FORMA treatment plan for optimal results.

Together, they:

• Address both inflammation and gland obstruction
• Deliver longer-lasting relief
• Reduce dependence on daily eye drops
• Improve overall ocular comfort and visual quality

This comprehensive approach reflects Eye Was Framed Eyecare’s commitment to modern, medical-level dry eye management.

What Patients Can Expect

• Comfortable, in-office treatments
• Sessions typically lasting 15–30 minutes
• No downtime or recovery period
• A personalized treatment plan based on clinical evaluation

Patients often describe treatments as relaxing and appreciate the immediate return to daily activities.
