Dry eyes are no ordinary condition as treating it is much more difficult than you think. Eye drops and warm compresses will give some patients a relief but it’s usually temporary and the only way to treat is so is through a comprehensive approach.

What is the IPL Treatment process?
An IPL treatment is performed by our optometrist in which she/he places a protective material to protect your eyes from intense light pulses. The cooling gel is applied all around the eyelids to regulate the pulses of light all around the lids. Then the use of the tool will be done and using the pulse of light to liquefy and loosen the oils that have clogged the eyelids through its heat. Each session takes just about 10 – 20 minutes, our optometrist will explain every step of the process and this kind of treatment provides long-lasting relief for dry eye sufferers.
