Forma-I Dry Eye Treatment in Tacoma
Revitalize Your Eyelids. Restore Comfort.
Dry, burning, or irritated eyes can make everyday activities uncomfortable. At TruVision Eye Care in Tacoma, Forma-I radiofrequency treatment is one option in a personalized care plan for dry eye associated with meibomian gland dysfunction.
Small glands. An important part of comfortable eyes.
Your eyelids contain tiny meibomian glands that release oils into your tears. These oils help keep tears from evaporating too quickly. When the glands become blocked or do not function properly, your tear film can become unstable, contributing to dry, gritty, or irritated eyes.
Recognize the signs of dry eye
Personalized care with Dr. Tiffany Kim
Dry eye has more than one cause. Dr. Kim evaluates your symptoms, tear film, eyelids, and eye surface to understand what is contributing to your discomfort. Her clinical interests include evaluating and managing dry eye and ocular disease.
Your care starts with an evaluation. We explain the findings and discuss whether Forma-I, another treatment, or a combination of approaches fits your needs. The number and spacing of sessions depend on your condition and response.
What to expect at your visit
Forma-I treatment is performed in the office and is often described as a warm massage around the eyes. If you proceed, our team will explain each step, your aftercare, and how we will assess your response over time. Comfort and recovery can vary.
