Dry eye disease is a common eye disorder that causes dry, burning, red eyes and fluctuating vision. Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of dry eye disease, and plays a role in about 86% of cases.

A recent FDA trial showed that Lumenis IPL with patented Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT®) significantly improved tear breakup time, meibum quality, and meibomian gland expressibility.

🟡Quick Info about IPL Intense Pulsed Light featured🟡
- OptiLight is a new in-office Intense Pulsed Light therapy developed for the management of dry eye disease.
- It's the first and only IPL FDA approved (April 2021) for dry eye management.
- IPL (intense pulsed light) is commonly used for facial rejuvenation and photo facials, but then doctors discovered this type of light-based therapy works for dry eye management too.
- Dry eye disease is an inflammatory condition. OptiLight is an IPL light-based therapy that treats the inflammation, restores the meibomian glands and improves the tear layer

Dry eye syndrome can be complicated by other forms of ocular surface disease and it is always best to consult with your local eye care professional if you are experiencing any eye pain or vision changes.

About this video:
Ever heard of IPL? It stands for Intense Pulse Light and In this video, I traveled to Seattle, Washington to get IPL for dry eye. Intense Pulsed Light works for many conditions and is now offered as both a dry eye treatment and meibomian gland dysfunction treatment. If you are considering IPL for dry eye treatment then it is important to follow up with a dry eye specialist in either optometry or ophthalmology that is offering IPL Intense Pulsed Light treatment.
