Tixel is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses controlled thermal energy to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes and improve the function of the meibomian glands. Unlike traditional laser treatments, Tixel uses a specialized heated titanium tip to deliver precise heat safely and comfortably—without light or radiation.
What Is Dry Eye?
Gritty, itchy, burning and uncomfortable eyes. Some patients even complain of tearing with dry eye because of the irritation. Sound familiar? Millions of people in the U.S. report dry eye symptoms, so it isn’t surprising that at some point, you might share in this unpleasant experience. Dry eyes are common and can become a chronic problem that poses risks to the health of the eye and, sometimes, can impact vision.
Let’s start with a simple definition of dry eye. Dry eyes are a condition in which a person doesn’t have enough quality tears to lubricate and nourish the surface of the eye. This leads to a breakdown of the tear film that normally jeeps the surface of your eyes smooth, clean, and comfortable. Tears keep the eye moist, nourished and healthy when the eye is functioning properly.
