Dry Eye – Light Therapy

We use two medical technologies in synergy with each other to optimize the result.

OPE® (IPL) is a polychromatic light that stimulates the Meibomian glands to resume normal activities. Applied to the periorbital areas and cheekbone, it stimulates contraction of the glands, increasing the lipid stream and reducing the evaporation of tears.

LIGHT MODULATION® (LLLT) is a technology of photobiomodulation used for many years in various fields of medicine (dermatology, dentistry, etc.). The emission of a particular light – to a certain wavelength – triggers an endogenous heating of the eyelids. This treatment repairs the Meibomian glands and therefore stabilizes the lipid layer of the tear.

The treatment improves symptoms of the disease after a few hours. Thanks to the synergy of the two technologies, the Meibomian glands resume the production of lipids necessary to the eye’s functionality.

The treatment is not painful, lasts 30 minutes and allows an immediate return to normal activities. In most cases, a few hours after the treatment you can appreciate an improvement of the Meibomian gland functionality.

To achieve proper results you may need 3 to 5 sessions at different intervals (15/20 days) depending upon your condition.

Healthy moisturized eyes are just a phone call away! For more information and to book please give us a call 403-276-2020. We look forward to hearing from you.
