At Rejuv Medical, we’re committed to providing innovative solutions for dry eye management. With our advanced OptiLight by Lumenis technology, we aim to deliver optimal results, offering you lasting relief, so you can leave home without lubricating eye drops!
OptiLight is a light-based treatment that uses precise, intense broad spectrum light to address signs of dry eye disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). MGD is the most common cause of dry eye disease, accounting for about 86% of cases. The treatment addresses inflammation, which is one of the key underlying factors in MGD. OptiLight was specifically developed to reach the delicate contours of the treated area safely, effectively, and gently using the OPT™ technology. It is intended for use in patients who are at least 22 years old, together with other available treatments, such as Meibomian gland expression, artificial tear lubricants, and warm compresses. FDA Approved.
OptiLight is a multi-factorial treatment that reduces major sources of inflammation leading to dry eye disease such as abnormal blood vessels. This treatment is safe for individuals who wear contact lens and typically consists of 4 sessions, at least 2 to 4 weeks apart.
- During treatment, your practitioner will cover your eyes with shields and apply a thin layer of coupling gel on the treatment area.
- During treatment, light is applied on the skin below the eyes, most patients report minimal discomfort.
- Each session takes only 10-15 minutes. There is no downtime, you can resume your daily activities immediately
Patients typically report improvement after 2 to 3 treatments. To ensure long-term results, a maintenance session is recommended every 6-12 months.
