Dry Eye Treatment with Lumenis OptiLight

Dry, itchy, red, or burning eyes can significantly affect your daily life. Dry eye disease is a widespread issue affecting 30 to 40 million Americans. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of this disease, accounting for approximately 86% of cases.

The Science Behind Our IPL Dry Eye Treatment

Our IPL therapy leverages Lumenis' patented Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT), specifically engineered to target and alleviate the inflammation that underlies dry eye disease. This safe and effective method is a top choice for people who want relief from the ongoing discomfort of dry eyes.

Within a brief 10-15 minute session, patients can experience transformative benefits:

• Enhanced Tear Stability: OptiLight extends tear film stability, providing sustained moisture and relief from irritation.
• Reduced Inflammation: Targeting inflammation, a key contributor to dry eyes, the treatment offers a soothing effect, alleviating discomfort.
• Improved Gland Function: By revitalizing meibomian gland performance, OptiLight ensures a consistent, healthy tear film, combating the evaporation that often exacerbates dry eye symptoms.
