Dry eye syndrome affects millions of people, while for most it’s a mere irritation, if left untreated it can lead to more complicated ocular issues. Traditional treatments like artificial tears may offer temporary relief, but they do not address the underlying cause.
At Advanced Family Eyecare in Oklahoma City, we offer IPL Lumenis OptiLight, a revolutionary treatment designed to provide long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms by targeting inflammation and restoring healthy tear production.
What is IPL Lumenis OptiLight?
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, specifically Lumenis OptiLight, is an FDA-approved treatment that uses precisely calibrated light pulses to target the root cause of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)—the leading cause of dry eye syndrome.
This innovative treatment works by:
- Reducing inflammation around the eyelids that contributes to blocked oil glands
- Unclogging Meibomian glands, restoring their ability to produce the oils needed for a stable tear film
- Eliminating abnormal blood vessels that contribute to chronic eye irritation
- Enhancing tear film stability, reducing excessive evaporation of tears
Who Can Benefit from IPL Lumenis OptiLight?
IPL therapy is ideal for patients who:
- Experience chronic dry eye symptoms, including burning, redness, and grittiness
- Have been diagnosed with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
- Suffer from ocular rosacea, a condition linked to eye inflammation
- Have tried traditional treatments like artificial tears or warm compresses with limited success
What to Expect During IPL Treatment at Advanced Family Eyecare
IPL Lumenis OptiLight is a gentle, non-invasive procedure performed in-office at Advanced Family Eyecare in Oklahoma City.
Treatment Process:
- Protective Shields: Shields are placed over the eyes to protect them from the light pulses.
- Light Application: A cooling gel is applied to the skin, and the IPL device delivers precise light pulses around the eyelids.
- Gland Expression: After the IPL treatment, a gentle massage may be performed to help express blocked oil from the Meibomian glands.
- Comfortable Experience: The procedure is quick, lasting 15–20 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Most patients notice significant improvement after 3–4 sessions, with full benefits achieved after completing a personalized treatment plan.
