Do your eyes feel uncomfortable? Do they sting, burn or itch? Are they often watery, red or bloodshot? You may have Dry Eye Disease.
We can now treat this condition with our state-of-the-art diagnostic and Eye-light® treatment equipment. The procedure is safe, non-invasive, pain-free and stress-free, plus there is no downtime.
Dry eye occurs when not enough tears are produced or evaporate too quickly. It can lead to uncomfortable symptoms that can have a significant impact on quality of life. It is estimated that more than one in three people is affected by dry eye after age 50.
EYE-LIGHT® DRY EYE THERAPY
Eye-light® is a comprehensive solution featuring dual, complementary technologies, Light Modulation® LLLT and Optimal Power Energy® (OPE) IPL, for optimal treatment of most ocular surface conditions from Dry Eye Disease (DED) induced by Meibomian Glands Dysfunction (MGD) to Sjögren’s Syndrome that have been resistant to traditional dry eye treatments.
Optimal Power Energy®
OPE® IPL is the patented Intense Pulsed Light technology in Eye-light®. OPE® IPL is the only pulsed light in the world allowing for usage without any protective gel. Pulsed light is used to close abnormal blood vessels secreting inflammatory mediators, therefore creating an overall reduction in the formation of abnormal meibum which contributes to dry eye.
OPE® is designed as a customization polychromatic light whose thermal impulses are calibrated through software to always be emitted at just the right intensity, providing an extremely high degree of safety and effectiveness every time, throughout every beam. This provides both operators and patients with an invaluable asset: the convenience of an exceptional, frictionless experience.
Light Modulation® LLLT
LIGHT MODULATION® directly treats the Meibomian glands, triggering an endogenous heating of both eyelids. This patented photo biomodulation technology helps repair and reinvigorate glands which in turn increases and stabilized the tear’s lipid layer.
What makes Eye-light® Special?
Eye-light®’s OPE® IPL and LLLT dual therapy surpasses the efficacy of other types of monotherapies. LLLT can be safely performed on all patients independent of skin pigmentation and directly treats the eyelids and the periocular area. The patented technologies and medical certification of this therapy are also used in the field of dermatology.
If you have dry eyes and want to try a highly effective therapy, make an appointment with your IRIS optometrist for advice and to know if you are a candidate for an Eye-light® treatment.
