Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Lumenis OptiLIGHT
Lumenis OptiLIGHT is the first and only Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device FDA-approved for management of dry eye disease due to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) - the most common cause of evaporative dry eye.
OptiLIGHT delivers precise pulses of broad-spectrum light to the periorbital area (cheeks and nose), targeting multiple underlying causes of dry eye diseases:
Reduces inflammation by coagulating abnormal telangiectatic blood vessels that contribute to chronic ocular surface inflammation
Improves meibomian gland function by decreasing gland obstruction and allowing better lipid secretion
Reduces microbial and parasitic load, including Demodex mites and bacteria that exacerbate eyelid margin disease
Enhances tear film stability, reducing tear evaporation and increasing ocular surface comfort
The treatment also promotes photobiomodulation (PBM), which supports tissue repair and anti-inflammatory effects on a cellular level.
