For many, the first instinct when dealing with dry eyes is to try over-the-counter drops, heat masks, or dietary changes. While these methods can help, they often only provide temporary relief. Glimpse Med Spa, in collaboration with Absolute Vision Care (AVC), offers a revolutionary approach that addresses the root cause: dysfunctional meibomian glands.
Owner Jessica McKane’s journey with AVC began in 1997. While she initially pursued her passion for makeup and skincare, she returned to Absolute Vision Care seven years ago. “Dr. Peterson wanted Absolute to be a one-stop shop for patients, including skincare,” Jessica explains. “That’s when the idea of Glimpse Med Spa was born.”
Dry eyes often stem from clogged meibomian glands, which produce the oil layer of the tear film that keeps eyes properly lubricated. Modern lifestyle factors, like increased smartphone and computer use, have significantly reduced our blink rate, contributing to gland blockages. The dry eye therapy offered at Glimpse Med Spa combines heat to loosen blockages with radiofrequency technology to rejuvenate the glands—providing a long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.
“Most patients forget their drops, don’t stick to diets, or skip heat masks,” Jessica notes. “Our treatment actually fixes the problem.” After an initial consultation with one of AVC’s doctors, patients meet with McKane for treatment. “I’ve been performing dry eye therapy for two years, and every patient has noticed improvement. For some, it’s been life-changing.”
The therapy also incorporates advanced technologies like the Lumceca IPL and Forma treatments. IPL targets inflammation, rosacea, and broken capillaries around the eyes, while Forma stimulates cells in the eye and surrounding skin to restore vitality. “Most patients with dry eyes also have inflammation,” McKane says. “These treatments address that while enhancing the overall health of the eyes and surrounding tissue.”
Beyond relieving dry eyes, patients can enjoy aesthetic benefits. “The added perks include skin tightening, reduction of sun spots, and less redness,” Jessica shares.
For those curious about the process, she emphasizes transparency and support. She provides detailed explanations for each step and shares a short video featuring doctors and patients who have undergone therapy. She also offers flexible payment plans to make the treatment more accessible.
Whether dry eyes are mild or chronic, Glimpse Med Spa’s approach targets the source rather than masking symptoms. For patients struggling with persistent irritation, this innovative therapy offers hope, comfort, and a clearer, more vibrant outlook—both for the eyes and the skin around them.
Our dry eye therapy doesn’t just mask symptoms—it rejuvenates the glands, reduces inflammation, and provides long-term relief patients can truly feel.
