Dry eye treatment sessions

Dry eye treatment sessions

Dry eye treatment sessions involve a specialized mask worn by the patient that emits infrared light (thermal waves). This procedure is performed with great ease at Dr. Abdelrahman Shams’s clinic. The patient can return to their normal daily life immediately after the session without any restrictions.

These sessions stimulate the meibomian glands to secrete the natural lipid layer, significantly reducing reliance on eye drops. By preventing tears from evaporating, the effect of lubricant drops lasts much longer.

Duration of Dry eye treatment sessions

Typically, the treatment course ranges from 3 to 4 sessions, depending on the patient's condition and the quantity and quality of their tears. Each session lasts approximately 15 minutes, with an interval of 4 to 6 weeks between sessions.

What is the cost of Dry eye treatment sessions?

The cost of Dry eye treatment sessions ranges from 1,500 EGP to 6,000 EGP for both eyes.
