Break the Dry Eye Cycle of Inflammation:

- Alleviates the abnormal blood vessels that perpetuate inflammation5,6
- Decreases the population of Demodex mites, which stimulate infection and boost bacterial
load on the eyelids7 - Restores meibomian gland morphology and functionality4,8
- Increases tear breakup time9

What People Are Saying About Optima IPL Treatment
As a pilot, having dry irritated eyes is unacceptable. Drops provided a temporary solution but putting drops in my eyes all day was a big inconvenience. After a few treatments with Lumenis Optima IPL my vision was back to normal. I have recommended the treatment to all my coworkers who suffer from the same problem.

I felt excruciating scratching pain every time I blinked. My doctor said I was suffering from dry irritated eyes, yet none of the drops and treatments provided a solution. I finally found relief with Lumenis Optima IPL treatment
