What can I expect from the
This treatment is fast and simple, taking only 10–15 minutes. During your treatment your doctor will apply a cool gel on the treatment area and cover your eyes with shields to protect them. As light is applied to the skin, you may experience a warm or a tapping sensation, but you shouldn’t feel any pain.
"As someone who works long hours on a computer, my dry eyes were constantly red and irritated. I thought it was normal since I’ve been suffering from it for so long. Dr. Nguyen recommended that I start IPL treatment for my red eyes to help improve my oil glands. I’ve completed 3 out of 4 treatments and my eyes look less red and they even feel better as well. It’s been the best decision I’ve made and I can't thank Dr. Nguyen enough for recommending this to me while all my previous optometrist never brought it up.”

“I've suffered from dry eyes for years, trying numerous eye drops and vitamins prescribed from my previous eye doctor. OptiLight has been amazing for my eyes. After my third treatment, my eyes feel so much better. I can now comfortably read, work, and enjoy life without the constant burning and blurry vision. I'm genuinely grateful to Dr. Nguyen for his care.

“I've been nervous about everything related to my dry eyes - drops, treatments, you name it. Dr. Toan was very patient and explained my condition in a way that made me feel comfortable. My eyes aren't perfect yet, but I'm less nervous and more hopeful now that I can finally find relief. The treatment was quick and painless, besides the bright light from the flash. I was advised to wear sunblock daily and continue with some at home eye drops. So far my eyes have never felt better."

“I’ve had to deal with dry eyes for a couple years now and it was horrible. I was constantly using eye drops 3-4 times a day to find relief. With how much we’re on the computer now, I could barely stay focused for more than an hour or two without my eyes tiring out on me. After receiving my IPL treatment in the office, I haven’t had to use ANY eye drops because the burning and sensitivity have vanished! My life and eyes have been completely reinvigorated with IPL and I would definitely recommend this to anyone with dry eyes!
