REXON-EYE DRY EYE TREATMENT

Eyecare Plus Mermaid Beach Optometrists offer Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatment on the Gold Coast. Rexon-Eye helps treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, the most common cause of Dry Eye.

What is Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatment?​
The Rexon-Eye is the newest dry eye innovation that uses electric stimulation to treat patients affected with dry eye disease, evaporative as well as aqueous deficient dry eye. Rexon-Eye is a non invasive treatment that uses the innovative patented Quantum Molecular Resonance (QMR). It works by applying weak alternate electric current patterns at frequencies to stimulate the tear production system and improve the activity of glandular tissues involved. The treatment stimulates the metabolism and natural regeneration of cells in the tear producing lacrimal gland and oil producing meibomian glands, which increases the volume and quality of the natural tears and re-balances the tear film to keep the eyes hydrated.

What are the benefits of Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatment?
The treatment has been clinically proven to stabilise the tear film, increase tear production and improve dry eye symptoms via natural regeneration of the cells responsible for producing tears. The treatment can help stop the atrophy of meibomian glands as they are crucial in the preservation of your tears, which protect your vision and eye health into the future. It will ensure your lacrimal glands are producing and delivering the natural tears that your eyes need to stay hydrated and healthy. Rexon-Eye is a durable treatment for all forms of dry eye, both evaporative as well as aqueous deficient dry eye.

What does the Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatment involve?
Rexon-Eye treatment is delivered by a contact electrode built in a mask, worn by the patient over closed eyes for 20 minutes. During treatment, the patient experiences a slight and pleasant sensation of heat in the area of skin underneath the mask. Treatment is comfortable and relaxing for the patient. 

How many Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatments do I need?
Treatments are dependent on the severity of dry eye disease the patient may have. The initial treatment protocol is 4 treatments over 4 weeks, delivering relief for many patients. Your optometrist will re-assess your dry eye 4-6 weeks post treatment and advise a plan for additional treatments to maintain your results. 

When will I feel a difference after Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatment?
The Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatment works by regenerating the cells in the lacrimal and meibomian glands to stimulate the production of healthy tears, this natural regeneration process takes time and continues to occur even after the treatment. The patient response to the treatment is characterised by individual variability. Dry eye symptoms usually take 4-6 weeks from the end of the last treatment to reach its peak effect. Some patients exhibit an improvement in their dry eye symptoms after just one session and some others have to wait longer for the treatment to start the natural regeneration process.

How long does the Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatment last?
Treatments have been shown to give relief for up to 6-12 months, the optometrist will organise a treatment plan for you, however patients will typically require a top up every 3-6 months depending on the severity of their dry eye disease.

How much does the Rexon-Eye Dry Eye Treatment cost?
The Rexon-Eye Treatment costs $200 per treatment, so the initial course of 4 treatments costs $800.
