Treatment Options for Dry Eyes, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Blepharitis include a very careful assessment of the ocular surface along with evaluation of the eyelid margins.
Treatment options are aimed towards addressing the root cause of the disease and may include lifestyle suggestions, therapeutic agents, punctal plugs, Amniotic Membrane and finally Lumenis® OptiLight IPL, if the patient is not responsive to traditional treatment methods.
OptiLilght is the fist and only FDA approved device for treating Meibmonian Gland Disfunction and Dry Eye Disease. OptiLight is a safe, multi-factorial treatment for a multi-factorial disease. It addresses the disease by reducing major sources of inflammation leading to dry eye disease such as abnormal blood vessels that secret pro-inflammatory agents, Demodex mites and Ocluar Rosacea. OptiLight restores the function of meibomian glands and delays evaporation of the tear film.
