Say goodbye to dry eyes and say hello to a light-based solution.

OptiLight is the first and only IPL FDA-approved treatment for dry eye disease caused by MGD (meibomian gland dysfunction). The gentle, noninvasive procedure is safe, comfortable, and supported by more than 20 clinical studies.

Get relief from your dry eyes with the help of OptiLight.

What to Expect

OptiLight typically involves a series of 4 treatments set 2–4 weeks apart. Each session takes about 10–15 minutes. Once the session is over, you can immediately get back to your day. No waiting time.

shields. 

Next, light pulses are focused on the skin below your eyes. You might feel warmth or heat on your skin, but otherwise, most patients experience minimal sensation.

Finally, your eye doctor will remove the eye shields and remove the coupling gel. OptiLight is also commonly followed up with meibomian gland expression or LipiFlow treatments.

Most patients notice improvements after 2–3 treatments.

Will the OptiLight Work for Me? 

While OptiLight by Lumenis is an effective dry eye management solution, we want to make sure it’s right for you. We do not recommend this treatment if you:

• Suffer from aqueous deficiency dry eye (rather than evaporative dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction)
• Have a history of keloid scarring
• Have severe scarring around your eyes

Ultimately, your doctor is the only person who can determine whether this option is right for you. During your next appointment, ask us if you are a good candidate for OptiLight by Lumenis.
