IPL for dry eye

IPL (intense pulsed light) is an adjuvant therapy for cases of persistent evaporative dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction, used when initial measures — tears, eyelid hygiene, compresses — aren't enough.

Pulses of light are applied to the skin around the eyes, helping reduce inflammation in the glands and thin their secretions, gradually improving their function. It's a painless, non-invasive procedure that requires no anesthesia and no recovery time.

We don't perform it directly in our own office: when it's needed, we refer you to our team's dermatologist, who handles the skin evaluation and procedures, with joint follow-up to decide whether maintenance sessions are needed.
