What is Dry eye?

Understanding dry eye will assist you in choosing the right treatment. Dry eye happens when a person lacks sufficient good-quality tears to keep the eyes lubricated and healthy. Tears are important for preventing eye infections, removing debris, and maintaining a clear and smooth eye surface. Those with dry eyes either don't make enough tears or the tears they produce are of low quality. This is a frequent and sometimes ongoing issue, especially among older adults.

OptiLIGHT (IPL)

OptiLIGHT is an innovative IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy designed to effectively manage dry eye disease. By utilizing controlled pulses of light, OptiLIGHT stimulates the Meibomian glands to enhance oil production, improving tear quality and alleviating dryness. This non-invasive treatment offers a promising solution for individuals seeking relief from the discomfort of dry eye disease.

Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT)

The LLLT mask employs medical grade LEDs for light modulation, a photobiomodulation technology that stimulates the production of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) by emitting a specific wavelength of light. It also significantly warms the eyelids to the temperatures recommended for periorbital heat treatment. The increase in cellular activity that causes endogenous heat, combined with external thermal heating, aids in the normalization of the glands.

This technology has been used in medicine for over ten years, but doctors only recently discovered its benefit for periocular inflammatory conditions.
