If you've been struggling with dry, irritated, or watery eyes, you're not alone. Millions of people suffer from dry eye disease, a common condition that can significantly affect your daily comfort and clarity of vision. Fortunately, new treatments have emerged that do more than just manage symptoms, they target the root cause.
One of the most exciting innovations we offer at Paramount Eye Care & Eyewear is Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy using the Envision by InMode Lumecca device, a cutting-edge solution that’s gentle, effective, and tailored for long-lasting relief.
Dry eyes can stem from several factors, but one of the most common is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). These tiny glands along your eyelids are responsible for producing the oil layer of your tears. When they become clogged or inflamed, your tears evaporate too quickly, leading to discomfort, blurred vision, and even redness or a gritty feeling.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of light to gently heat the skin and underlying tissues around the eyes. With Envision by InMode’s Lumecca technology, we target the inflammation and vascular irregularities that contribute to meibomian gland dysfunction.
While IPL was originally developed for dermatological uses (like reducing redness or sun damage), it’s now widely embraced in the eye care world, and for good reason.
Here’s how the Envision IPL treatment can make a difference:
Unclogs Meibomian Glands: The warmth from the light pulses helps melt and release thickened oils blocking your glands.
Reduces Inflammation: IPL targets abnormal blood vessels and inflammatory mediators, which can help calm redness and irritation.
Improves Tear Quality: With better oil flow, your tears evaporate less quickly, providing longer-lasting hydration and comfort.
Boosts Comfort Naturally: Many patients find they rely less on artificial tears and eye drops after completing a course of IPL therapy.
Your comfort is our priority. IPL therapy with the Envision Lumecca system is quick and well-tolerated:
Sessions last about 15–20 minutes.
A series of 4 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, is typically recommended.
You'll feel a warm, gentle snapping sensation on the skin, most patients describe it as mild and easy to tolerate.
There’s no downtime, you can resume your daily activities right away!
Bonus: Many patients notice an improvement in skin tone and reduced facial redness in the treated area, making IPL a win-win for both eye comfort and skin health.
