Are You Tired of Relying on Eye Drops?

Artificial tears only provide temporary relief. If you're experiencing these symptoms, you may have Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), the leading cause of dry eye:

Gritty, sandy sensation
Burning or stinging
Redness and irritation
Blurry fluctuating vision
Watery eyes (reflex tearing)
Sensitivity to light
Eye fatigue
Difficulty wearing contacts
IPL Treatment Process for Dry Eye Relief
The Solution

OptiLight IPL: A Revolutionary Treatment

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is the first and only FDA-approved light-based treatment for the management of dry eye disease due to MGD.

Instead of just adding moisture, IPL treats the underlying inflammation and unblocks the oil glands in your eyelids, restoring your eye's natural tear film stability.

Reduces Inflammation

Eliminates abnormal blood vessels that release inflammatory markers.

Restores Oil Flow

Liquefies hardened oil in meibomian glands for better tear quality.

Eradicates Bacteria

Reduces the population of Demodex mites and bacteria on eyelids.

Why Choose IPL Therapy?

Treats the Root Cause

Unlike drops that only provide temporary relief, IPL targets the inflammation causing your dry eye.

Long-Lasting Relief

Most patients experience significant improvement after just 3-4 sessions, with results lasting 6-12 months.

Safe & Comfortable

FDA-approved technology that is gentle on your skin and eyes. No downtime required.

Improves Appearance

IPL also reduces redness and improves the skin texture around your eyes.

Reduces Drop Dependency

Many patients can significantly reduce or eliminate their daily use of artificial tears.
