Effective treatment for evaporative dry eye

Buitique Optometry offers Intense Pulsed Light—IPL—Therapy, an advanced treatment for evaporative dry eye caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.

IPL uses gentle pulses of light to reduce inflammation around the eyelids, improve the function of oil-producing meibomian glands, and restore a healthier tear film.

Improving the quality of your natural tears can help relieve burning, irritation, redness, and fluctuating vision associated with chronic dry eye.
