Understanding Dry Eye

Your eyes need tears to stay healthy. Your tear film is a layer of tears covering the surface of your eyes that protects against infections and provides nutrients.

It is made of 3 layers:

The oily outer layer
The watery middle layer
The inner mucus layer

When there’s an issue with any one of the layers, you can develop dry eye and inflammation.

Dry Eye & MGD

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a chronic and progressive condition affecting the function of the tiny meibomian glands that line your eyelids. These glands produce the tear film’s oily layer, which is essential for preventing your tears from evaporating too quickly.

MGD symptoms include:

Watery eyes
Fluctuating or blurry vision
Discomfort wearing contact lenses or eye makeup

OptiLIGHT by Lumenis for Dry Eye

OptiLIGHT by Lumenis is a light-based, noninvasive treatment for dry eyes performed in the area below the eyes. It is the first and only IPL FDA-approved for dry eye management.

The treatment is safe, gentle, and backed by clinical studies.

OptiLIGHT uses precise pulses of light to reduce the inflammation that is typically associated with dry eye disease, improve tear break-up time, and increase meibomian gland functionality.

Managing Dry Eye with Meibography

Meibography is an imaging technology that allows Dr. Bradley to visualize the meibomian glands in your eyelids.

These glands produce oils that coat your tears and prevent them from evaporating too quickly. By examining the glands with meibography, Dr. Bradley can assess their health and function, helping to determine an effective course of treatment and monitor your progress over time.
