Dry Eye IPL
At Peninsula Eyecare, we offer Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy — a modern, non-invasive treatment designed to relieve chronic dry eye caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). If you’ve tried drops, warm compresses, or eyelid scrubs without lasting relief, IPL may be the solution.
What Is IPL and How Does It Work?
IPL uses gentle pulses of light to:
- Reduce inflammation around the eyelids
- Unblock meibomian glands to restore healthy oil flow
- Improve tear film stability and reduce tear evaporation
- Target bacteria and mites that contribute to dry eye symptoms
The treatment is quick, comfortable, and performed in our Umina clinic by our trusted, professional optometrists.
Who Eye IPL Is Best Suited For
IPL is ideal for people with meibomian gland dysfunction, evaporative dry eye, or eyelid inflammation, because it reduces inflammation and helps the glands produce healthier oils. It’s also highly effective for those with ocular rosacea, chronic blepharitis, or recurrent styes, especially when standard treatments haven’t provided lasting relief. A suitability check is still important, as factors like skin type and light sensitivity can influence whether IPL is the right choice.
