Understanding Dry Eye Disease

What Causes Dry Eyes?

Dry eye disease occurs when your tears do not provide sufficient moisture, leading to discomfort and potential damage to the eye’s surface. This can be caused by:

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) – Blockages in the glands that produce the eye’s protective oil layer.
Aging & Hormonal Changes – Tear production naturally decreases with age.
Environmental Factors – Air conditioning, screen time, and exposure to wind or smoke can contribute.
Medications & Health Conditions – Certain prescriptions and autoimmune diseases like Sjogren’s syndrome can impact tear quality.

Common Dry Eye Symptoms to Look Out for

Dry eye symptoms include:

Burning, itching, or stinging sensations
Excessive tearing or watery eyes
Blurred vision or light sensitivity
Gritty or foreign body sensation

Left untreated, chronic dry eye can lead to further complications, including damage to the cornea and persistent discomfort. OptiLight by Lumenis provides an effective way to target the root cause of dry eye symptoms.

What is OptiLight by Lumenis?

OptiLight is a safe, effective, and non-invasive procedure, backed by 20+ clinical studies, providing real relief for patients suffering from dry eye disease.

Revolutionary IPL Therapy for Dry Eye Treatment

OptiLight by Lumenis is an intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy designed to:

Reduce inflammation associated with dry eye disease.
Improve tear break-up time for longer-lasting moisture.
Stimulate meibomian gland function, enhancing tear stability.
Reduce the presence of Demodex mites & bacteria, which contribute to irritation.

How the Treatment Works:

Gentle pulses of light are applied below the eyes to target inflammatory blood vessels and clogged glands.
The process takes just 10–15 minutes per session with no downtime.
A typical treatment plan includes four sessions over several weeks for optimal results.

How Does OptiLight Work?

OptiLight uses precise pulses of light to reduce the inflammation that is typically associated with dry eye disease, improve tear break-up time, and increase meibomian gland functionality.

This application can significantly relieve dry eye indicators and has a multi-factorial effect, including:.

Increasing tear break-up time
Reducing the amount of demodex mites and bacteria living around your eyes
Eliminating blood vessels that contribute to inflammation
Improving meibomian gland functionality
