OptiLight by Lumenis is a light-based, non-invasive treatment done around the eye region to treat some of the underlying inflammation conditions that cause dry eye symptoms.

Treatment
The treatment requires 4 sessions scheduled 2-4 weeks apart. This treatment is non-invasive and gentle. During the treatment, the doctor will apply a cool coupling gel on the treatment area and cover your eyes with either cornea or IPL shields.
As light is applied to the skin, you may experience a warm sensation. The treatment is gentle with minimum discomfort. The treatment itself takes about 15 minutes. Patients are asked to come with a clean face, no makeup for women, and a clean shave for men. OptiLight by Lumenis is well-tolerated and most people can resume their normal activities immediately following treatment. You might experience some redness or a warm sensation in the treatment area, but this usually resolves in less than 48 hours.
We offer the combination of TearCare and IPL treatments for optimal results. After the treatments, our doctors will review proper maintenance regimen to maximize treatment results.
