Lacrifill® Canalicular Gel: A Breakthrough in Dry Eye Treatment
Dry eye disease affects millions, causing discomfort, irritation, and blurred vision.
Traditional treatments like artificial tears or punctal plugs may not provide lasting relief for all patients. Introducing Lacrifill® Canalicular Gel, an innovative, FDA-cleared in-office procedure designed to offer sustained comfort and improve quality of life for dry eye sufferers.
What Is Lacrifill®?
Lacrifill® is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel that temporarily occludes the canalicular system—the tear drainage ducts—allowing your eyes to retain their natural tears. This helps maintain the tear film, providing long-lasting moisture and relief from dry eye symptoms.
Why Choose Lacrifill®?
- Long-Lasting Relief: Provides up to six months of sustained moisture.
- Minimally Invasive: No surgical incisions or stitches required.
- Preservative-Free: Uses a biocompatible gel suitable for sensitive eyes.
- High Tolerability: Suitable for many patients, including those with previous dry eye treatments.
- Covered by Medical Insurance: Lacrifill® is typically covered under medical insurance plans, making this advanced treatment accessible to eligible patients.
Ideal Candidates
Lacrifill® is beneficial for patients experiencing:
- Chronic dry eye symptoms not relieved by artificial tears.
- Dry eye related to contact lens use.
- Dry eye following cataract, glaucoma, or refractive surgeries.
- Sensitivity or intolerance to traditional punctal plugs.
It is also an excellent option for preoperative dry eye management in surgical patients.
What to Expect
After treatment with Lacrifill®, most patients notice:
- Improved tear retention and reduced dryness.
- Enhanced comfort during daily activities.
- Decreased symptoms such as burning, itching, or foreign body sensation.
Follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.
