At Luxe Eye and Wellness, we use advanced digital retinal imaging to evaluate the health of your eyes without the need for traditional dilation drops. Our optometry office in Old Town Alexandria offers Optomap wide angle retinal imaging, which captures a detailed view of the retina in seconds. This technology allows our doctors to screen for retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal tears while minimizing discomfort and avoiding the side effects of dilation. The imaging process lets patients see the back of their eyes just as the doctor does and is safe for children, adults, and pregnant patients seeking comprehensive eye exams in Alexandria VA.
What to Expect
The IPL technology targets pigmentation and vascular issues, improving skin tone and texture. The controlled heat stimulates collagen production while the body naturally removes treated tissue, enhancing overall skin appearance. The procedure typically lasts 15-30 minutes and is well-tolerated with minimal discomfort.
The treatment targets imperfections and stimulates collagen production over multiple sessions. Results for light pigmentation and sun spots can appear in 1-2 treatments, while most concerns may need 2-6 sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
Experience Relief with Avulux Lenses
ICL is considered an outpatient operation and only takes about 30 minutes to complete. This means that you will be in and out of your chosen facility on the same day. Patients are given some numbing drops for their eyes and individuals that are more hesitant or uncomfortable may also be given a sedative.
The surgeon will make several micro-incisions in the eye to insert and place the lens. When the lens has been inserted, it will be unfolded, and the edges of the lens will be placed behind the iris. After this is completed, the operation is considered complete. Your physician may give you some eye drops for postoperative care and then send you home. There may be a follow-up appointment scheduled 24 hours later.
