Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (known as IPL) is a non-invasive treatment performed at Precision Eye Care to treat conditions like dry eyes due to meibomian gland deficiency, rosacea, chalazions and abnormalities in your skin like sun spots and facial veins . At Precision Eye Care, we have one of the world’s most technologically advanced and the only FDA approved IPL machine Optilight provided by LumenisⓇ. The machine uses heat from intense pulse light to treat the root of the problem, increasing your natural production of lubricating oil from the glands in your eyelids, decreasing the pro inflammation mediators and reducing the population of Demodex mites.  Not only does this therapy relieve your dry eye symptoms, but it also treats damaged blood vessels and skin irritation (known as rosacea) which can make dry eye worse.

Ocular rosacea can be caused by a variety of things including hereditary and/or environmental factors, bacterial infections or blockages, and aging.  If you find yourself experiencing symptoms such as dry or red/itchy/irritated eyes, watery eyes, a sensation that something is in your eyes, blurred vision, abnormally large blood vessels, or eyelid inflammation, IPL therapy may be right for you.
