What is dry eye disease?
Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes don’t receive enough quality tears to stay hydrated and nourished. This can cause irritation, redness, blurred vision, and even difficulty performing everyday tasks.
Tears consist of three layers:
- Oil – Prevents tear evaporation.
- Water – Delivers nutrients and hydration.
- Mucus – Spreads tears evenly across the eye surface.
When any of these layers are compromised—especially due to meibomian gland dysfunction—dry eye symptoms can worsen.
How Lumenis IPL Dry Eye Treatment Works
OptiLight by Lumenis is the first and only FDA-approved Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy for treating dry eye disease caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. This advanced procedure uses controlled pulses of light applied below the eyes to:
- Improve oil gland function
- Increase tear film stability
- Reduce inflammation and bacteria
- Minimize the presence of demodex mites
- Eliminate abnormal blood vessels contributing to irritation
Each session lasts approximately 10–15 minutes, with noticeable symptom relief following a series of treatments.
OptiLight IPL dry eye treatment may be ideal if you suffer from:
- Chronic dryness or irritation
- Redness and light sensitivity
- Fluctuating vision throughout the day
However, we may not recommend it if you:
- Are on medications like Accutane
- Have active acne or certain skin conditions
- Are prone to keloid scars or have recent sunburn
During your eye exam, we’ll assess whether Lumenis IPL dry eye therapy is the best solution for your condition.
