Dry eye syndrome is caused by a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. Consequences of dry eyes range from subtle but constant eye irritation to significant inflammation and even scarring of the front surface of the eye
Dry eyes are very common, and dry eye syndrome is a major reason for visits to the eye doctor.
At Envison Eye Hospital, we offer a revolutionary treatment using Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) to get rid of the root cause of your dry, red, fatigued and burning eyes and help your eyes feel calm and clear – while reducing your dependency on eye drops.
Optimal Pulse Technology is an excellent technology for treating eye lid inflammation. OPT is selectively absorbed in the hemoglobin of abnormal blood vessels, and destroys them by thrombolysis. A major source of inflammation threatening the eyelids is then removed.
During the procedure, a strategic level of light pulses is administered to penetrate your skin and target the root cause of the inflammation. As the OPT treatment treats your overall skin appearance, your eyelid inflammation is treated and improved as well. OPT procedures are highly effective, gentle and safe.
You might experience a warm sensation as the light is applied to your skin, but the treatment is gentle and you should not feel uncomfortable. Each session lasts approximately 15 minutes. Depending upon the severity of your condition, an additional procedure to remove a portion of your Meibomian glands, to accelerate your skin and eyelid healing process, may be recommended.
This treatment is safe, with no discomfort or downtime, and will improve the comfort of your eyes and the clarity of your vision.
