Suffering from dry, itchy, red or burning eyes?
You are not alone. Between 30 to 40 million Americans are estimated to suffer from Dry Eye Disease. We know how tough and frustrating this can be – and you deserve a solution. The passionate doctors and experienced staff at Bishop Eye Center are proud to announce the addition of OptiLight to our range of services for treatment of dry eye.
OptiLight with Lumenis patented Optimal Pulse Technology uses precise, intense broad spectrum light to address the inflammation – one of the key underlining factors in dry eye disease due to MGD.
OptiLight was specifically developed to reach the delicate contours of the treated area safely, effectively, and gently. OptiLight provides a transformative, safe, and efficacious way to improve Dry Eye disease due to MGD.
A course of treatment typically includes:
• Four 15-minute sessions spaced two-four weeks apart.
• During the treatment we will apply a coupling gel on the treatment area and cover your eyes with shields.
• The treatment is gentle with minimum discomfort. You may experience a warm sensation as light is applied to the skin.
OptiLight treatment isn’t invasive and is done in the area below the eye. Immediately following treatment, you may experience some redness. This will usually disappear within a few hours. You can return to your daily activities and apply makeup straight away in most cases. You will be advised to stay out of direct sunlight for a few days and to apply sunscreen.
We often see optimal results in just a few sessions.
We recommend maintenance treatments usually every 6-12 months to ensure the best long-term results.
In addition to providing comfort for dry eye, OptiLight may also improve quality of skin and help to reduce rosacea.
The doctors and experienced staff at Bishop Eye Center are ready to help optimize your Dry Eye problems. Let's partner together for better eye health.
