Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)
Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) with the Meibomask treats dry eye disease using gentle low-level light energy delivered comfortably over the eyelids to stimulate the Meibomian glands, encourage healthy oil production and reduce inflammation.
LLLT treatment comprises of 4 sessions, spaced 1-2 weeks apart. A single maintenance session once a year is recommended.
IPL | Intense Pulsed Light
IPL technology uses a series of intense light pulses in a safe, painless and non-invasive procedure that stimulates the Meibomian glands to regenerate and return to normal function, providing deep heating of the eyelids to liquify clogged glands and aid expression of meibum.
The E-EYE IPL protocol consists of 4 sessions: Day 0 / Day 15 / Day 45 / Day 75. A single maintenance session at least once a year is recommended.
Combination Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) & Intense Pulse Light (IPL)
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) work together to treat the underlying causes of dry eye disease. IPL reduces inflammation around the eyelids and improves the function of the meibomian (oil) glands, while LLLT uses gentle therapeutic light to stimulate the glands and surrounding cells, encouraging natural healing and healthier oil production.
By combining these two treatments, many patients experience better tear film stability, improved comfort, and longer-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms than with either treatment alone.
ZEST Procedure | Zocular® Eyelid System
The ZEST procedure is specifically designed to treat dry eyes and blepharitis by clearing harmful biofilm, bacteria, and debris from the eyelids and eyelashes. The procedure uses a gel derived from natural ingredients such as okra polysaccharides, aloe vera, and soy protein, which help prevent irritation on your skin and eyes. It is soothing and painless, with optometrists gently rubbing along both the top and bottom eyelash line for a few minutes. After just one treatment, patients typically experience an improvement in their dry eye symptoms and blepharitis.
ZEST provides additional benefit when performed in combination with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment, before or on your first IPL session
Blephasteam | EyeSpa
Using moist heat goggles at an ideal pre-set temperature, Blephasteam melts the oil build-up to unblock the gland openings, improve tear film quality and treat the root cause of dry eye for longer-lasting relief. The 15-minute Blephasteam EyeSpa treatment is a relaxing experience done with your eyes open, and is typically repeated every few months for best results.
Meibomian Gland Expression
Meibomian gland expression is an in-clinic procedure that gently clears blocked meibomian glands in the eyelids. This is performed after any dry eye treatment.
When the glands become blocked, the oil can become thickened or stagnant, contributing to dry eye symptoms such as burning, grittiness, fluctuating vision, and excessive watering.
By gently expressing the glands, healthy oil can flow more freely, helping to improve tear film stability and eye comfort.
