Conjunctivochalsis (CCH) is a form of dry eye disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the white part of the eye (conjunctiva) becomes loose, inflamed and irritated. This inflammation and loose tissue decrease the eye’s ability to produce tears. Patients who suffer from CCH experience chronic dry eyes, eye discomfort, irritation, and vision problems. While there are prescription treatment options available, not all patients respond well. In fact, CCH affects 98% of people over the age of 60, many of whom find only temporary or minimal relief from traditional prescription treatment methods.
One promising new option for treating Conjunctivochalsis and the dry eye symptoms associated, is NuVissa. NuVissa is a hand-help plasma pen energy device that delivers tiny bursts of energy to the affected tissues. The plasma energy creates heat in the cells of the tissues causing them to shrink and stimulates the growth of collagen, both of which help alleviate the underlying causes of CCH dry eye disease.
One of the key benefits of NuVissa is that it has been designed to target one of the many the root causes of dry eye disease. Unlike many other treatments that simply address the symptoms of the condition, NuVissa works by improving the quality and quantity of tears that are produced by the eyes. By increasing the amount of natural lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eyes, NuVissa can help to reduce inflammation, irritation, and other uncomfortable symptoms associated with dry eye disease.
NuVissa treatments can be completed in an eye doctor office visit with little to no downtime. Depending on the severity of CCH dry eye disease, you may require more than one treatment. You and your eye doctor will determine the best course of treatment for you with NuVissa.
When it comes to eye health treatment options, having more choices is beneficial for you and your doctor. Research shows when you are actively involved in your healthcare treatment choices, you will have better results, be more satisfied with your care, and have improved eye health. When you have more treatment choices, you find the treatment that fits your personal preferences and goals of treatment.
