Lumenis OptiLIGHT Dry Eye Medical Device

Lumenis OptiLIGHT Dry Eye Medical Device Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy is a groundbreaking treatments for dry eye and styes. This in-office treatment uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation around the eyes, enabling oil-producing meibomian glands to better lubricate the eyes and significantly reduce unpleasant dry eye symptoms.

OptiLIGHT is a light-based treatment that uses precise, intense broad spectrum light to address signs of dry eye disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). MGD is the most common cause of dry eye disease, accounting for about 86% of cases. The treatment addresses inflammation, which is one of the key underlying factors in MGD. OptiLIGHT was specifically developed to reach the delicate contours of the treated area safely, effectively, and gently using the OPT technology. It is intended for use in patients who are at least 22 years old, together with other available treatments, such as Meibomian gland expression, artificial tear lubricants, and warm compresses.

Treatment Work:

The primary cause of dry eye syndrome is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), which occurs when the oil-producing meibomian glands are clogged up and unable to produce a healthy tear film. The oil is crucial as it stops your tear film from evaporating too rapidly.

During the Optilight IPL procedure, the heat emanating from the light helps liquify and release oils that have hardened and clogged the meibomian glands in the eyelids, thus reducing blockages that cause dry eye symptoms and improving the quality of your tears.

Stop The Dry Eye Vicious Cycle Of Inflammation

Reduce Inflammatory Mediators
Decrease the level of pro-inflammatory mediators to inhibit inflammation.

Improve Tear Breakup Time
Significantly boost tear break up time and decrease osmolarity.

Alleviate Abnormal Blood Vessels
Destroy the abnormal blood vessels that perpetuate inflammation.

Restore Meibomian Glands
Improve meibomian gland morphology and functionality.

Decrease Demodex
Decrease the population of Demodex mites, which stimulate infection and boost the bacterial load on eyelids.
