If you suffer from persistent dryness, irritation, or burning sensations in your eyes, you may be experiencing chronic dry eye syndrome. This condition often results from inflammation and poor function of the meibomian glands. At Inland Family Optometry, we use IPL therapy to target the root cause of dry eye, not just the symptoms. Here’s how this advanced treatment can help restore comfort and clarity to your vision.

 

Reduces Inflammation Around the Eyes

Inflammation of the eyelids and surrounding skin can block the meibomian glands, worsening dryness and irritation. IPL uses gentle light pulses to reduce this inflammation by shrinking abnormal blood vessels and minimizing inflammatory markers. The result is healthier eyelids and a better tear film balance.

 

Improves Meibomian Gland Function

One of the biggest advantages of IPL is its ability to stimulate and restore proper function of the meibomian glands. After IPL treatments, the glands produce a more stable oil layer, which prevents tears from evaporating too quickly and helps maintain consistent moisture across your eyes.

 

Provides Long-Lasting Relief

Unlike artificial tears or medicated drops that only offer temporary comfort, IPL addresses the underlying causes of dry eye. Most patients notice significant improvement after just a few sessions, with results that can last for months or even longer with proper maintenance treatments.

 

Reduces Dependence on Eye Drops

Because IPL helps your eyes naturally produce and maintain a healthy tear film, many patients find they can cut back on constant use of lubricating eye drops. This not only saves time but also improves overall eye health and comfort throughout the day.

 

Enhances Overall Eye Health and Comfort

Beyond reducing dryness, IPL therapy can help clear blockages, improve circulation around the eyes, and even rejuvenate the skin on the eyelids. It’s a gentle yet effective treatment that promotes long-term comfort and eye wellness.
