OptiLight by Lumenis

OptiLight by Lumenis is the only FDA-approved intense pulse light (IPL) system for dry eye management. As a non-invasive, light-based treatment method, OptiLight is safe, gentle, and backed by several clinical studies. Taking only about 15 minutes to complete, OptiLight reduces dry eye inflammation as well as any bacteria living around your eyes. Yet it also enhances meibomian gland functionality and improves tear break-up time, providing instant dry eye relief.

OptiPlus by Lumenis

This revolutionary, dual-frequency RF technology empowers us to deliver precise and personalized treatment, targeting both the root cause and visible dry eye symptoms.
OptiPlus delivers heat across multiple skin layers, stimulating the meibomian glands to produce healthier, clearer oils and improving their overall function. Additionally, it promotes collagen production, leading to firmer, smoother skin around the eyes. This unique two-pronged approach not only addresses the underlying cause of dry eye but also enhances the appearance, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

NuLids At-Home Dry Eye Care

Maintaining good eye health and hygiene should be an integral part of your daily routine, especially if you have dry eye disease. That’s why NuLids is such a beneficial eye care tool. Safe, simple, and clinically effective, NuLids is an innovative eyelid cleaning brush that stimulates and rejuvenates your meibomian glands, which are responsible for helping your eye’s tears. With NuLids, you can easily clean and revitalize your dry eyes at home in less than a minute each day.

Celluma Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)

While often used in skin treatments, low-level light therapy (LLLT) is also an effective treatment method for dry eye disease. With Celluma LLLT, low-powered LED light is applied to your eyelids to reduce dry eye inflammation, relieve oil blockages in your meibomian glands, and kill any potential bacteria near the eyes. As a result of this 30-minute procedure, your eyes’ tear functionality is better supported with the oils it needs to hydrate your eyes.

Yes!  Lifestyle changes can significantly improve symptoms of dry eye. These include staying hydrated, taking regular breaks during long periods of screen time to rest your eyes, and using a humidifier in dry indoor environments. Wearing wraparound sunglasses outdoors can protect your eyes from wind and sun that can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.

The treatment of dry eye often requires an ongoing, multi-faceted approach. While some treatments provide immediate relief, others may take longer to show benefits. The condition can fluctuate or worsen due to various factors like aging, hormonal changes, or environmental conditions, necessitating a change in treatment strategy over time. Regular check-ups with our team here at Dry Eye Center of Beaufort are essential to monitor the condition and adjust treatments as needed for optimal eye health and comfort.
