#Raindrop treatment series

A prospective study to evaluate the Raindrop Near Vision Inlay in presbyopic patients with treatments to optimize the ocular surface before implantation. There are many benefits of Raindrop therapy. It combines Effleurage techniques, Vita Flex and Aromatherapy through the use of essential oils to create a very relaxing and beneficial form of therapy. Optical and visual impact of tear break-up in human eyes. Raindrop therapy is a form of aromatherapy that was first introduced in the 1980’s. We make ocular surface optimization part of the discussion for each of our Raindrop patients, and they are quite comfortable and willing to invest in getting the best possible result.ġ. In our practice, we find that optimizing the ocular surface requires very little additional chair time and does not delay surgery. Early interim data show that patients who had dry eye treatment before and after surgery have improved tear break-up time and better initial distance vision. The study group had LipiFlow (Johnson & Johnson Vision) thermal pulsation treatment for MGD before surgery, as well as high-dose DHA/EPA omega 3 supplements (Dry Eye Omega Benefits, PRN) and artificial tears to optimize the ocular surface both before and after surgery. Half of the subjects were randomized to undergo ocular surface optimization and half to proceed without treatment. We believe that early optimization will provide good visual recovery after surgery. 2 We have enrolled 40 patients with mild to moderate dry eye. My colleagues and I are currently carrying out a investigator-driven clinical study of Raindrop subjects with optimized and non-optimized ocular surfaces. Oftentimes, they are on other medications, and they spend long hours using computers. Transected nerves in the cornea can cause neurotrophic dry eye after surgery-a problem made all the worse by untreated preexisting ocular surface problems.įinally, patients seeking treatment for presbyopia are generally in their 40s and 50s, so they tend to be drier and have some meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Irregular tear film can negatively affect retinal image quality 20% to 40%, 1 making it necessary to achieve a healthy tear film both pre- and postoperatively.Īnother reason to optimize the ocular surface before surgery is that the Raindrop (ReVision Optics, Inc.) procedure involves creating a LASIK-like flap, typically even deeper than traditional LASIK.

The CARE Program also offers the opportunity to become a Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist (CRTS), a Licensed Spiritual Healer (LSH), a Board Certified Raindrop Specialist (BCRS), and/or a Certified CARE Instructor (CCI).For all refractive surgeries, including corneal inlays, patients benefit from a healthy ocular surface, so it is essential that we optimize the ocular surface before surgery. The Raindrop Technique, which is registered by Young Living Oil, is a non-invasive therapy using a sequence of essential oils dispensed from a bottle as small. These include the History of Anointing and Laying on of Hands (formerly Healing Oils of the Bible), Applied Vitaflex, Raindrop Technique, Emotional Release, Essential Oil Science and Chemistry, Basic Principles of Aromatherapy as well as Hands-on Practice and other Healing Skills.

#Raindrop treatment series

This is accomplished through a series of courses that anyone can take. The focus of the program is to teach Raindrop Technique and associated skills, as originated and taught by D. This is accomplished by the sponsorship of seminars, hands-on workshops, and the publication of various books and videos. (CARE) is a nonsecular educational organization dedicated to assembling research and disseminating information on the healing properties and therapeutic applications of essential oils.
