Forma-I Radiofrequency: Targeted Warmth for Dry Eye

When Eye Drops Aren’t Enough

Burning, grittiness, watering, and fluctuating vision can make everyday activities uncomfortable. At Liberty Eyecare’s dry eye clinic, we offer Forma-I radiofrequency as part of a personalized approach to managing dry eye associated with meibomian gland dysfunction.

What Is Forma-I Radiofrequency?

Forma-I uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver controlled warmth to the eyelid area. This heat helps soften thickened oils within the meibomian glands—the small glands in your eyelids that produce the protective oil layer of your tears.
When these oils don’t flow properly, tears can evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes irritated and uncomfortable. By warming the glands and helping prepare them for expression, Forma-I may help improve oil flow and support a more stable tear film.

What to Expect

During treatment, a small handheld applicator is moved over the treatment area to deliver controlled warmth. The device monitors skin temperature throughout the procedure. Patients often describe the sensation as a warm massage.
Your doctor may also perform gland expression to help clear softened oils from blocked glands. Our team will explain each step and recommend the number and spacing of treatments based on your needs.
Results vary, and ongoing home care or maintenance treatments may be recommended to help manage this chronic condition.

Is Forma-I Right for You?

A dedicated dry eye evaluation is the first step. We assess your tear film, eyelid glands, and eye health, then review your medical history to determine whether radiofrequency treatment is appropriate for you. Forma-I may be combined with other dry eye treatments as part of your personalized care plan.
