Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re experiencing symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome, such as tearing or a persistent dry, gritty sensation, you may benefit from our specialized treatments. Our advanced options are designed to relieve dry eye symptoms and enhance your quality of life.

To ensure the best results and safety during your FORMA RF treatment, it’s important to follow these guidelines:

  1. Stop using any products containing Retinol one week before and after the treatment.
  2. Discontinue topical retinoid therapy 2-4 days prior to your appointment.
  3. Minimize sun exposure and use a zinc oxide sunscreen with at least SPF 30 if you need to be outdoors.
  4. If medically permissible, avoid taking anticoagulants such as aspirin, mobic, ibuprofen, or naproxen for one week before the treatment.
  5. Cease the use of Accutane six months prior to your appointment.
  6. Avoid facials, lasers, injectables, and dermal filler treatments for one week before and after your FORMA RF session.
  7. Arrive at your appointment with clean skin—no lotion, makeup, perfume, powder, bath, or shower oil should be present on the treated area.

Following these recommendations will help ensure the effectiveness and safety of your FORMA RF treatment.

You can expect to have between 1-3 treatments with Morpheus8 depending on your treatment regime. The number of sessions needed for laser hair removal varies depending on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the area being treated. On average, most people require 6 to 8 sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results. However, the exact number of sessions can be determined during a consultation with a qualified practitioner based on individual needs and treatment goals.

Our skincare experts will assess your needs and recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

Each session only takes about 15-60 minutes depending on the size of your target area. Your session may be rescheduled if you have an infection or cut in the target area. This is because wounded skin may increase your risk of infection or other negative side effect.

After your FORMA treatment, it’s important to follow these post-treatment care instructions: Avoid using skin cooling methods. Refrain from exposing the treated area to very hot water for at least two days following the treatment. Do not scrub, pinch, or otherwise irritate the treated area. You may apply moisturizer and makeup to the skin immediately after the treatment. If you experience any signs of infection, excessive swelling, redness, pain, or any other unusual symptoms after your treatment, please contact your physician promptly for further guidance and assistance. Following these guidelines will help ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery from your FORMA treatment.

A single session has the ability to provide a momentary skin tightening effect and create a more gentle and smoother complexion. Nevertheless, for results that are noticeably lasting, it’s advisable to undergo a minimum of 6 treatment sessions. For optimal outcomes, it’s recommended to arrange a weekly Forma facial session to fully experience the facial effects. If you decide to continue with monthly sessions for maintenance, the benefits can persist for several years, especially when combined with a suitable skincare routine, other treatment modalities and a healthy lifestyle.

Meet Leading Optometrist & Owner

Dr. Christine Kniffen

Decades of Experience in Exceptional Eye Care

Dr. Christine Kniffen is a seasoned optometrist who has owned Casey Optical Company, a private optometry practice, for 14 years.  She graduated from Pacific College of Optometry, and then served at Kirtland Air Force Base before purchasing the long-established business. 

The idea of a specialized dry eye clinic took shape as newer technologies emerged to treat the underlying causes of this complex disease.  Like retinal conditions such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, the ocular surface requires early detection and management to maintain vision clarity and comfort.   Dr. Kniffen has made it her mission to provide the most effective and advanced treatment for this painful and life-changing condition.

Hear From Our Happy Patients

“For years, my eyes felt constantly irritated and dry. It was miserable – reading, watching TV, even just being outside was uncomfortable. I tried over-the-counter drops, but nothing really helped. I was starting to think I’d just have to live with it.

Then, I went to Casey Optical Co. Dr. Kniffen was incredibly patient and understanding. She explained the causes of my dry eye and recommended a personalized treatment plan. I’m so glad I did! The treatment has made a huge difference. My eyes feel so much better, and I’m finally enjoying life without constant eye discomfort.”

Sarah J.

“I was experiencing blurry vision and a lot of eye fatigue, especially towards the end of the day. I was worried it was affecting my work. My optometrist referred me to Casey Optical Co. for dry eye treatment.

The staff at Casey Optical Co. were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Kniffen thoroughly examined my eyes and explained the underlying issues. The treatment plan was easy to follow, and I noticed a significant improvement in my vision and comfort almost immediately. I’m so grateful for the relief and would highly recommend Casey Optical Co. to anyone suffering from dry eye.”
