Low Level Light Therapy
Low level Light Therapy (LLLT) has proven effective at treating dry eye disease.
LLLT uses specially designed LED lights to gently warm up the eyelids, causing the meibomian glands to unclog and release oils needed to keep eyes healthy, moisturised and comfortable.
Low Level Light Therapy is a powerful and unique treatment that is non-invasive, pain and stress-free.
It can treat Meibomian Gland and Dry Eye as well as treat styes and chalazion (cysts) of the eyelids.
It’s quick and painless! Simply lay back with the mask on and relax as the warm light clears your glands.
What is Meibomian Gland Dysfunction?
Tears are made up of three layers: the lipid (oil) layer, aqueous (water) layer, and the mucous (sticky) layer. These layers work in unison to lubricate and coat the eyes, keeping them moist and comfortable.
Your meibomian glands control the lipids in the eye, called meibum, which combine with other substances in the eye area to create a thin film that consistently lubricates your eyes. Meibum is an essential part of your eye’s makeup as it prevents the evaporation of the protective tear film.
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction occurs when the meibomian glands fail to provide enough meibum. This can be triggered by various factors and causes the eyes to feel dry and uncomfortable. 80% of Dry Eye is due to MGD.
