IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Eye Treatment is a non-invasive procedure used to treat Dry Eye Disease, especially when caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
It uses gentle pulses of light around the eyelids to improve oil gland function and reduce inflammation.
Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing persistent dryness, irritation, or discomfort in their eyes, seeking a long-term solution instead of relying on lubricating drops.
While vision stability is not a requirement for dry eye therapy, candidates should have consistent symptoms for several months to ensure the condition is chronic and benefits from advanced treatment.
Dry eye can affect adults of all ages, but treatments are especially helpful for individuals over 18 who experience dryness from contact lenses, digital screen use, or aging.
Candidates should not have untreated eye infections or severe corneal disease. Our specialists will evaluate your eye health to customize the best approach for you.
Perfect for those who want freedom from constant artificial tears or discomfort that interferes with reading, driving, or daily activities.

You may not be suitable if you’re pregnant, on photosensitive medications, have very dark skin types, or have active skin issues near the eyes.
A quick eye exam will confirm if IPL is right for you.
