Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that affects millions of people globally. It causes eye redness, irritation, and discomfort, and can impact your quality of life.
While over-the-counter remedies may provide temporary relief, they don’t treat the underlying cause of DES. That's where Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy comes in.
Call us today at Della Porta EyeCare LLC in Bristol to schedule an appointment and see if IPL therapy is the right solution for you.
What is IPL Therapy?
IPL therapy uses brief flashes of high-intensity light to stimulate tear production and improve the quality of the tear film. This non-invasive procedure is quick and relatively painless, with many patients reporting relief from dry eye symptoms within a few minutes.
How Does IPL Work?
IPL therapy works by promoting the growth of new blood vessels in the tear glands. These blood vessels bring oxygen and nutrients to the glands, allowing them to produce more tears and maintain their health. In addition, the light energy from the IPL device helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing, making it an effective treatment for various dry eye conditions.
Is IPL Right For Me?
One of the biggest benefits of IPL therapy is that it is safe for almost everyone to use. It’s also a highly effective solution for people who are unable to use artificial tears or other treatments due to allergies or other medical conditions.
