What Is the OptiLight by Lumenis & How Can It Manage Your Dry Eye?  
 
Dry eye disease is a widespread and common issue for up to 49 million Americans. This chronic condition can have a significant impact on your quality of life, causing a foreign body sensation in your eyes, pain, blurry vision, and dry or watery eyes. Untreated, it can even lead to further eye health complications.

Despite these constant detrimental effects on quality of life, many dry eye sufferers are not aware that they’re suffering from dry eye disease or that real treatments exist. Instead, they just live with the discomfort.

At Powell Vision Center we are committed to providing you with the best solutions for your dry eye. We use top-of-the-line treatments and technologies such as the Oculus Keratogragh 5M that allows us to:
● Assess your tear film layer
● Study your meibomian glands
● Identify potential causes and issues
● Determine a treatment plan for you

We’re proud to offer OptiLight by Lumenis to our patients, specially designed for dry eye management.
FAQ's
OptiLight by Lumenis 
    • What Is OptiLight by Lumenis?
      • OptiLight by Lumenis is a light-based, non-invasive treatment done in the area below the eyes to manage dry eye. The first and only IPL FDA-approved for dry eye management. The treatment is safe, gentle, and is backed by more than 20 clinical studies.
    • How Does It Work?
      • 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. This application can significantly relieve dry eye indicators and has a multi-factorial effect, including:
        ● Increasing tear break-up time
        ● Reducing the amount of microorganisms living around your eyes
        ● Eliminating blood vessels that contribute to inflammation
        ● Improving meibomian gland functionality
    • What should I expect before, during and after my treatment?
      • Before Your Treatment
        Before your treatment, it is important that your skin is properly prepared. To get ready for your OptiLight treatment we ask that you:
        ● Use sunscreen diligently and avoid sun exposure for two weeks prior to your treatment
        ● Avoid certain photosensitive medications before your appointment
        ● Remove any makeup or moisturizers on the day of treatment

        During Your Treatment
        This treatment is fast and simple. During the treatment your doctor will apply a gel on the treatment area and cover your eyes with shields.

        As light is applied to the skin, you may experience a warm tapping sensation. The treatment is gentle with minimum discomfort. The treatment itself will only take 10–15 minutes.

        OptiLight is often followed by meibomian gland expression with ILux following your 3rd IPL treatment.

        After Your Treatment
        After your treatment, you may notice some temporary redness, swelling, flaking, or darkening on the treated area. To lessen these symptoms and to protect the skin you should:
        ● Apply sunscreen with a 30+ SPF every day
        ● Avoid direct sunlight for 48 hours after your treatment
    • What else is part of my custom treatment plan?
      • A course of treatment typically includes 4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Our dry eye specialists will compose a simple, customized treatment plan made specifically for you. In addition to OptiLight, we offer the following dry eye treatments to help you achieve your desired results as best we can:
        ● ILux Meibomian gland expression
        ● Lid scrubs
        ● Retaine MGD artificial tears
        ● Lumify
    • Will the OptiLight by Lumenis Work for Me?
      • While OptiLight by Lumenis is an effective dry eye management solution, we want to make sure it’s right for you.
        We do not recommend this treatment if you:
        ● Suffer from aqueous deficiency dry eye (rather than evaporative dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction)
        ● Have a history of keloid scarring
        ● Have severe scarring around your eyes
        ● Have tattoos around the eye.
        Ultimately, your doctor is the only person who can determine whether this option is right for you. During your next appointment, ask us if you are a good candidate for OptiLight by Lumenis.
