Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) DRY EYE in Cincinnati OH
INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) DRY EYE
IPL therapy is an effective treatment for individuals suffering from dry eye syndrome. At Clear Eyes + Aesthetics in Cincinnati, we use intense pulsed light (IPL) to treat meibomian gland dysfunction, a common cause of evaporative dry eye. During the treatment, a specialized handpiece emits flashes of light that penetrate the skin and activate the meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer of the tear film. IPL therapy can be performed on both the upper and lower eyelids, and most patients experience improvement in their dry eye symptoms within a few weeks after treatment.
IPL therapy is suitable for individuals with meibomian gland dysfunction, a condition where the glands become blocked, leading to insufficient oil production and dry eye symptoms. The treatment is non-invasive and typically takes less than 30 minutes to perform. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, but the treatment is usually well-tolerated. IPL therapy can provide long-lasting relief for dry eye symptoms, with results lasting up to several years. Some benefits of IPL therapy include improved tear quality, reduced inflammation, and a significant reduction in dry eye symptoms.
