Understanding RF Therapy for Dry Eyes
Dry eye syndrome can be a persistent and uncomfortable condition. At Eye Care Center LTD, we offer advanced Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy. RF Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that gently heats the eyelid area to stimulate oil glands, improve tear production, and reduce inflammation for long-term comfort.

Why Typical Dry Eye Treatments Fall Short
You may have tried artificial tears, prescription drops, warm compresses, or even punctal plugs. These all help—but for many, they only mask symptoms. They don’t always tackle the underlying reason you have dry eyes in the first place: poor oil gland function in your eyelids (aka meibomian gland dysfunction).
And that’s where radiofrequency (RF) therapy shines.
What Is Radiofrequency (RF) Therapy?
RF therapy is a gentle, non-surgical treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to warm the meibomian glands around your eyes. These glands produce the oils that help your tears stay on your eyes longer.
With RF, we’re not just treating symptoms—we’re restoring function.
It’s kind of like giving your eye’s oil glands a spa treatment: warming, relaxing, and encouraging them to work better again. Bonus: this treatment also tightens the skin around the eyes, so it’s a win-win for comfort and appearance.
Benefits of RF Therapy for Dry Eye Relief
RF Therapy uses controlled radiofrequency energy to warm the meibomian glands located in the eyelids. This heat loosens hardened oils that clog the glands, allowing them to function normally and produce the protective oil layer your eyes need. Treatments are comfortable, take around 15–20 minutes, and are usually performed in a series of sessions for optimal results.
- Non-invasive & Comfortable – No needles, no scalpels. Just a warming sensation during treatment.
- Targets the Root Cause – Unblocks and revives the meibomian glands.
- Improves Skin Tone – Reduces fine lines and puffiness around the eyes.
- Quick Sessions – Each session takes about 20 minutes, no downtime required.
- Long-Lasting Results – Relief can last for several months after a treatment series.
RF Therapy vs. IPL: What’s the Difference?
- RF uses heat to gently stimulate and unblock oil glands.
- IPL uses light pulses to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria on the eyelid margin.
