Forma Treatment for Dry Eye

Every blink plays a vital role in keeping your eyes comfortable and well-lubricated. When the meibomian glands in your eyelids fail to function properly, this balance is disturbed—leading to dryness, irritation, and discomfort. Forma I by InMode, available at Complete Eye Care in Gurgaon, is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to address the root cause of evaporative dry eye by restoring healthy oil gland function.

This cutting-edge therapy uses controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently heat and stimulate the eyelids, helping blocked meibomian glands work normally again.

Forma I by InMode – What Is It?

Forma I is a safe, non-surgical radiofrequency-based treatment that targets meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)—one of the most common and frequently overlooked causes of chronic dry eye disease. It is part of the Envision by InMode platform, a technologically advanced system developed specifically for ocular surface and eyelid conditions.

During the procedure, RF energy is applied to the upper and lower eyelids. This gentle heat softens and melts thickened oils that clog the meibomian glands, allowing them to resume normal oil secretion and improve tear film quality naturally.

How Forma I Treats Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Meibomian glands produce the essential oil layer of your tears, which prevents rapid evaporation. When these glands become blocked or inflamed, tears evaporate too quickly, causing symptoms such as dryness, burning, foreign body sensation, and fluctuating vision.

Forma I helps manage MGD by:
● Gently warming the eyelids to liquefy hardened oils
● Improving oil flow and gland function
● Reducing eyelid inflammation
● Restoring tear film balance for longer-lasting eye hydration

This treatment is particularly effective for evaporative dry eye, where artificial tears alone fail to provide lasting relief.
