Millions of people suffer from eye and vision-related problems. For some, the solution is as simple as wearing prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. However, others face challenges that aren’t as easy to rectify. That’s where Lumenis comes into play.
As a world leader in minimally invasive clinical solutions for both ophthalmology and aesthetic markets, it’s making a significant difference. Not only does Lumenis develop advanced energy-based technologies, but it also commercializes them.
The company continues to find innovative solutions. However, it’s already provided the fields of ophthalmology and aesthetic with remarkable technologies. OptiLight is just one example.
The company invented the first and only technology to treat individuals for dry eye disease caused by MGD. Not only is it approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but also patented. Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT) makes it easier to successfully manage this particular eye disease. Overall, OptiLight is safe, precise, comfortable, and effective.
According to recent statistics, roughly 22% of the U.S. population suffers from dry eye disease along with MGD. That combination leads to an array of uncomfortable symptoms.
Dry eye occurs when a person’s eyes don’t produce adequate tears to keep them lubricated or when tears don’t work the way they should. MGD is a condition that affects the small glands in the eyelid responsible for making the oil layer for tears.
Having to deal with one of these problems is bad enough. However, living with both can prove debilitating for some people. Thanks to OptiLight, people with the two conditions get much-needed relief. Here are the ways this advanced technology helps:
Reduces inflammatory mediators, which, thereby, prevents inflammation
Improves tear breakup time that, in response, decreases osmolarity
Alleviates abnormal blood vessels that commonly cause inflammation
Restores meibomian glands so they function properly
Decreases demodex mites that cause infection and the accumulation of bacteria on the eyelids
As part of this revolutionary system, ophthalmologists and optometrists can select different devices based on their needs.
Patented OPT Handpiece
Not two people have identical faces. Even among twins, facial contours differ, even if slightly. To ensure excellent results, this handpiece allows ophthalmologists and optometrists to customize treatments to cover every curve.
Ergonomic IPL Handpiece
To treat a broader area, Lumenis recommends this option. Patented with SapphireCool technology, it breaks the cycle of inflammation associated with dry eye disease caused by MGD.
Opti-Tip
For maximum energy control, the Opti-Tip focuses light energy on more delicate areas. As with the other Lumenis devices, it’s safe and effective. At the same time, the Opti-Tip is 100% hygienic.
OptiLight utilizes embedded settings that adhere to strict protocols, making it safe and effective tool.
Additionally, they use Optimal Pulse Technology (OPT), which transforms light-based therapy. As a result, ophthalmologists and optometrists can treat the eyes with absolute precision and control. That’s because while this technology provides optimal energy, it never has spike inconsistencies.
Doctors can treat a patient in just 15 minutes. Specifically for dry eye disease with MGD, it provides an improvement in just four sessions.
Lumenis dedicated years to develop OptiLight. Now, eye doctors can incorporate a system into their practice to provide better patient care.
“I was so happy to learn that there was a treatment for dry eyes! For 2 years I dealt with red eyes, burning eyes, and random watering episodes that I came to find out were 'bad tears'. I tried everything including eye drops and ice packs. Nothing worked to relieve the pain. Being in my mid 30s I thought this is something I would have to live with for the rest of my life.
Dr. Cline introduced me to the OptiLight treatment and it was the best thing I could do for myself. After the first treatment my eyes felt immediately better, and I can tell you after going through the recommended 4 sessions, that this dry eye treatment is totally worth it. My eyes feel amazing - rarely do I need drops and my eyes have never looked better. Dr. Cline is extremely knowledgeable and took great care of me in every session. Her team is amazing, helpful and kind.
If you have dry eye issues, I can't recommend enough to go see Dr. Cline and her team at The Eye Care Studio. They are truly the best!”
“I have been experiencing extremely bad dry eye for the last couple of years. It was really, really bad. Zero tear production. My eyes hurt/ached constantly and I couldn’t get hardly any relief from at home treatments. Earlier this year at my annual eye exam, my amazing optometrist told me about a new treatment she was getting in her office (OptiLight IPL) and how she thought I’d be a perfect candidate. After Dr. Cline thoroughly explained the cause of my dry eye and how the IPL would get to the root of my problem, I signed up for a series of 4 treatments. I can honestly say this treatment was life changing! I started to experience relief within 30-45 minutes of the very first treatment! You can’t tell how juicy my eyes are from the photo, but you can see my eyes are brighter and clearer! Added bonus, the IPL helps with the fine lines & wrinkles around the eyes!! If you are suffering with Dry Eye, you should seriously consider doing this treatment. Eye health is so important and you want your eyes to look and feel their healthiest.”
“I have to say, I was hesitant to invest in the dry eye treatments, but I'm so glad I did. The symptom relief is like nothing else I've tried and the whole experience was of utmost care and quality- from the massage chair, to the cooling eye mask after the opti light, to the sensitive skin safe sunscreen at the end and just to have great product recommendations to help optimize the results of the treatments is so helpful. If anyone is on the fence about these treatments, they shouldn't be! They are worth it!”
