The team at Deniliquin Eyecare know how tough and frustrating it can be, and may have the solution for you.
“Here at Deniliquin Eyecare, we are proud to offer the first and only FDA/TGA-approved IPL (Intense Pulse Light) for the management of dry eye in our region with OptiLight by Lumenis,” optometrist Peter Thompson said.
“The majority of dry eye disease is caused by MGD (Meibomium Gland Dysfunction).
“The OptiLight treatment aims to stimulate and unblock the meibomian glands that produce the oil that keeps our eyes lubricated. This is achieved by delivering energy to the glands through precise filtered visible light to address any inflammation.
“This stimulation improves their structure and function and activates them to make a new, better-quality oil.”
The treatment also stimulates the skin cells to produce more collagen, so while we are treating your dry eye, there is the additional benefit of skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Other benefits include a decrease in the number of mites and bacteria present on the lids and lashes (Blepharitis)
Backed by numerous clinical studies, Optilight is the new treatment standard for a transformative, safe, and efficacious way to improve Dry Eye disease.
The treatment itself can take as little as 20 minutes.
Most people will require four treatments - one every two to four weeks.
For some, a maintenance treatment every six to 12 months is then motivated by the patient.
