IPL Therapy for Dry Eye Relief

 

Dry eye can be uncomfortable and frustrating, particularly when it affects your day-to-day activities. At our Southwell practice, we offer IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy, a safe and effective treatment that targets the underlying cause of dry eye, not just the symptoms.

IPL works by gently warming and restoring the function of the oil-producing glands in the eyelids, helping your eyes produce healthier, more stable tears.

Here's How it Works:

- Reduces inflammation around eyes and eyelids

- Unclogs and stimulates Meibomium glands

- Improves oil production for a stable tear film

- Decreases abnormal blood vessels

- May reduce harmful bacteria on eyelids

By treating the root cause, IPL treatment can lead to significant improvement in dry eye symptoms, offering relief and better quality of vision.

IPL can also be used to treat Chalazions which are small lumps/cysts that develop underneath the eyelid due to blocked glands.
