Ocular aesthetics involves advanced treatments to improve both the look and health of your eyes and surrounding skin. At Azman Eye Care, we tackle concerns like dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, droopy lids, and redness using therapies such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), Radiofrequency (RF), and Upneeq. Beyond surface-level fixes, these options address issues like dry eye or ocular rosacea, giving you brighter, youthful eyes and better comfort in one go—a full eye transformation.

Ocular RF (Radiofrequency) Treatments deliver high-frequency electrical currents to heat the skin around your eyes gently. We use this non-invasive approach to melt clogged oils in the meibomian glands (a dry eye trigger) while boosting collagen. In just 10-20 minutes per session, you get tighter skin, reduced wrinkles, and a smoother eye area. Most notice peak results after 3-4 treatments—perfect for a quick, painless eye refresh.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Eye Treatments use targeted light pulses to treat the eye area. At Azman Eye Care, we apply IPL to reduce inflammation, redness, and broken blood vessels linked to conditions like ocular rosacea or dry eye. It also clears meibomian gland blockages, improving tear quality. Bonus? It smooths skin tone and cuts down puffiness, leaving your eyes looking vibrant. Sessions take about 20 minutes, with results building over 3-5 treatments.

Upneeq is a prescription eye drop that lifts droopy eyelids (ptosis) without surgery. At Azman Eye Care, we offer it as a game-changer for ocular aesthetics. It works by stimulating the muscle that raises your eyelid, delivering a noticeable lift in minutes that lasts up to 8 hours. It’s ideal for tired-looking eyes or mild ptosis, giving you a wide-awake, refreshed look daily. No needles, no downtime—just a drop and go.

It varies by treatment and person, but at Azman Eye Care, we see lasting impact with upkeep. RF’s collagen boost keeps skin tighter for 3-6 months, while IPL’s gland and redness improvements can hold long-term with occasional touch-ups. Upneeq offers daily lifts (up to 8 hours per use), so it’s as-needed. For aesthetics, expect months of visible perks; for eye health, consistent care (like lid hygiene) sustains gains. Many opt for RF/IPL follow-ups every 6-12 months and use Upneeq as their daily boost.

We specialize in EyePrintPRO, PROSE, and scleral lenses to provide superior vision correction for keratoconus.

Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision. At Azman Eye Care, we see it cause blurriness, glare, and double vision, often starting in teens or early adulthood.

Scleral lenses vault over the irregular cornea, creating a smooth surface for clear vision. At Azman Eye Care, we use these to improve comfort and correct distortion for keratoconus patients.

Yes, keratoconus can progress, especially if untreated. At Azman Eye Care, we manage it with specialty lenses like PROSE or EyePrintPRO, and in advanced cases, options like corneal cross-linking to slow worsening.

At Azman Eye Care, PROSE offers a prosthetic fit to heal and correct vision, while EyePrintPRO uses 3D molding for an exact match to your cornea—both excel for keratoconus, with EyePrintPRO offering ultimate precision.

RLE is a vision correction surgery where we replace your eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to fix refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia. At Azman Eye Care, it’s like cataract surgery but done electively to reduce your need for glasses or contacts. The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes per eye, offering a permanent solution with customized lens options tailored to your lifestyle.

RLE is ideal for people over 40-50 who want freedom from glasses and aren’t suited for LASIK due to thin corneas, high prescriptions, or early cataracts. At Azman Eye Care, we recommend it for those with presbyopia or hyperopia, especially if you’re tired of reading glasses. A thorough eye exam will confirm if it’s right for you—conditions like severe retinal issues might rule it out.

Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, RLE replaces the lens inside your eye, making it better for presbyopia or extreme prescriptions. Compared to cataract surgery, it’s the same technique, but at Azman Eye Care, we use it proactively before cataracts form to enhance vision. RLE also prevents future cataracts, unlike LASIK.

Benefits include sharp vision at all distances, no future cataract risk, and less reliance on glasses. At Azman Eye Care, we offer premium IOLs (monofocal, multifocal, or toric) for personalized results. Risks are low but include infection, retinal detachment, or temporary halos—our team minimizes these with expert care and advanced tech.

Recovery is quick—most resume normal activities within a few days, though full vision stabilizes in weeks. At Azman Eye Care, you’ll rest briefly post-surgery, avoid driving for 24 hours, and follow simple care steps (like eye drops). Many see clearer vision the next day, with optimal results in 1-3 months.

Cataract surgery removes your eye’s cloudy natural lens and replaces it with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). At Azman Eye Care, we recommend it when cataracts blur your vision, affecting daily life—like driving or reading. It’s a quick, outpatient procedure, typically needed when glasses no longer help.

The procedure takes 15-30 minutes per eye and is virtually painless. At Azman Eye Care, we use local anesthesia and sedation to keep you comfortable. Most feel only mild pressure, with no stitches needed thanks to advanced techniques.

We offer premium IOLs at Azman Eye Care: monofocal for sharp distance vision, multifocal for near and far, and toric for astigmatism correction. Your choice depends on your lifestyle—whether you prioritize glasses-free reading or driving clarity.

Recovery is fast—most resume normal activities within days. At Azman Eye Care, you’ll use eye drops, avoid rubbing your eyes, and skip heavy lifting for a week. Vision often improves within 24-48 hours, fully settling in 4-6 weeks.

Benefits include restored clarity, brighter colors, and reduced glasses dependence. Risks are rare but include infection or posterior capsule opacity—Azman Eye Care minimizes these with expert surgeons and cutting-edge tech. It’s one of the safest, most effective surgeries available.
