IPL Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

Tired of using eye drops? We may have something for you.

​

Optica Optometry offers a breakthrough treatment called IPL Intense Pulsed Light therapy that can provide long-lasting relief from these frustrating conditions.

​

We have invested in groundbreaking technology that can significantly improve dry eye symptoms with the use of OptiLIGHT Intense Pulse Light (IPL).

​

OptiLIGHT utilizes a patented Optimal Pulse Technology, a precise, intense broad spectrum light that targets inflammation – one of the key underlying factors in dry eye due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)

​

OptiLIGHT is specifically developed to reach the delicate contours of the treated area, effectively and gently.

What is OptiLIGHT IPL Therapy?

IPL therapy utilizes precise pulses of light to target the underlying causes of dry eye and ocular rosacea. 

​

By addressing inflammation and stimulating healthy function in the meibomian glands (responsible for producing the oily layer of the tear film), IPL can significantly improve tear production and reduce uncomfortable symptoms.

How Does IPL Help Dry Eye?

Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears or evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, burning, itching, and blurred vision. 

​

IPL therapy works by gently heating the eyelids, which helps to unclog the meibomian glands and improve the quality of your tears. This increases lubrication and reduces irritation, providing lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.

How Does IPL Help Ocular Rosacea?

Ocular rosacea affects the eyes and eyelids, causing redness, inflammation, and visible blood vessels (telangiectasias). IPL therapy targets these blood vessels, reducing their appearance and improving blood flow to the area. 

 

This helps to decrease inflammation and redness, providing a more comfortable and natural look to your eyes.

What to Expect During IPL Treatment

IPL therapy is a safe, non-invasive procedure that typically requires a series of sessions. Each session is quick and relatively painless, with most patients experiencing only a mild warming sensation. 

​

Our experienced optometrists will take all necessary precautions to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the treatment.

​
