If your eyes constantly feel dry, irritated, or fatigued, you’re not alone—millions of Americans suffer from chronic dry eye disease. And while traditional eye drops or prescription medications can help, they don’t always address the underlying cause.
Enter Forma-I: the latest, non-invasive technology making waves in ophthalmology and aesthetics alike. At Belmont Eye Center, we’re proud to offer this advanced treatment for patients seeking real, lasting relief from dry eyes—without surgery or downtime.
What Is Forma-I?
Forma-I is a radiofrequency (RF)-based treatment designed specifically for the delicate tissues around the eyes. It uses controlled heat to stimulate the meibomian glands—oil-producing glands located along the eyelid margins that are often blocked or dysfunctional in dry eye patients.
Unlike earlier therapies, Forma-I delivers precise, gentle warmth to improve gland function, restore healthy tear film, and reduce inflammation—all while tightening and rejuvenating the skin around your eyes.
The Benefits of Forma-I for Dry Eyes
This FDA-cleared treatment offers a unique blend of eye health and cosmetic benefits:
-
✅ Improves meibomian gland function
-
✅ Increases natural tear production
-
✅ Reduces dry, itchy, or burning eyes
-
✅ Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
-
✅ No needles, no downtime, no discomfort
Patients often notice an improvement in both eye comfort and appearance within just a few sessions.
“Forma-I has quickly become a favorite among our patients dealing with chronic dry eyes,” says Dr. Sandra Belmont. “It’s gentle, effective, and actually helps address the root cause—not just the symptoms.”
How the Procedure Works
Each treatment takes about 30 minutes or less and is performed in-office by a trained specialist. During the session, a small handpiece delivers controlled RF energy to the eyelid area. You’ll feel a warm, soothing sensation—many patients compare it to a hot stone massage for the eyes.
There is no pain, no numbing, and no recovery time needed. Most people return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 4 sessions, spaced one week apart. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled as needed.
Is Forma-I Right for You?
Forma-I is ideal for patients with:
-
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
-
Evaporative dry eye symptoms
-
Contact lens discomfort
-
Aging or thinning skin around the eyes
-
Previous limited success with eye drops or medications
If you’re looking for a non-invasive, holistic approach to treating dry eye symptoms while also refreshing your appearance, Forma-I might be exactly what you need.
