Chandigarh:
Our eyes have a natural moisture. When this decreases, dryness sets in, which can cause vision problems. Surprisingly, this can also lead to watery eyes. According to studies, 32% of people in India suffer from dry eye syndrome.
Known as the Smile Queen of India, Dr. Sheetal Brar introduced and demonstrated for the first time in the tri-city an advanced, non-invasive technology to treat dry eyes. She emphasized that eyes are one of the most important senses, and life without them is hard to imagine. Neglecting eye care can weaken vision and lead to multiple complications.
Dr. Brar explained that dry eye is among the most common eye problems. If your eyes water without crying, if you experience burning, itching, light sensitivity, redness, difficulty seeing at night, blurry vision, or constant eye fatigue, there’s a strong possibility you have dry eye. The root cause, she said, is often inflammation of the meibomian glands—tiny oil glands in the eyelids—which reduces oil secretion as we age. This disrupts the tear film and weakens vision.
Now, with advanced technology, dry eye can be treated at its root while also addressing peri-orbital concerns. This means patients can finally be free from the need for daily artificial tear drops.
Until now, the only treatment option was prescribing artificial tears. But with the new InMode advanced technology, inflammation of the meibomian glands beneath the eyelids can be reduced, providing a long-term solution to dry eye problems.
