How It Works
How OptiLight Works
Intense Pulsed Light
Precise, controlled pulses of light are applied to the skin around and below the eyes, targeting the inflammation that drives chronic dry eye and facial redness.
Restores the Glands
The light's gentle warmth helps clear and reactivate the meibomian glands along your lash line, improving the oily layer of your tears for lasting comfort.
Quick & Comfortable
Each session takes about 10 to 15 minutes with no downtime. A short series of treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, delivers building, lasting relief.
Intense Pulsed Light
IPL Built for Dry Eye
OptiLight is the first and only intense pulsed light device FDA-approved for dry eye management. Its precise, optimized pulses of light are applied to the skin below the eyes, where they reach the root causes of chronic dry eye and inflammation.
The light reduces inflammation, restores meibomian gland function, and decreases the bacteria and Demodex mites along the lash line — while also calming facial redness and rosacea for clearer skin.

Calm the Redness
Ocular & Facial Rosacea
Rosacea rarely stays on the surface. The same chronic inflammation that flushes the cheeks and nose also affects the eyelids and tear glands. Because OptiLight treats inflammation at its source, it calms both the skin and the eyes in a single, gentle treatment.
Facial Rosacea
The light's energy is absorbed by the dilated blood vessels that cause persistent flushing and visible capillaries. As those vessels collapse and fade, redness softens and the complexion looks clearer, calmer, and more even.
It also eases the inflammation behind rosacea flare-ups, helping skin stay comfortable and less reactive between treatments.
Ocular Rosacea
Ocular rosacea inflames the eyelid margins and clogs the meibomian glands, leaving eyes gritty, burning, and watery. OptiLight reduces that inflammation, clears the abnormal vessels along the lid, and helps the glands release healthy oils again.
The result is a more stable tear film and lasting relief from the dry, irritated eyes that so often accompany rosacea.

The Process
How Relief Unfolds
Phase 1
Treatment
Gentle pulses of light are applied to the cheeks and the area below the eyes, precisely targeting inflammation and the meibomian glands.
Phase 2
Glands Respond
The light's warmth softens hardened oils and clears blocked glands, while abnormal blood vessels that feed inflammation are absorbed.
Phase 3
Relief Builds
Over the following days, inflammation settles and your tear film stabilizes — easing dryness, grittiness, and irritation.
Phase 4
Lasting Comfort
Across a short series of sessions, results build for clearer skin and lasting dry eye relief, with periodic maintenance as needed.

If you have rosacea on your face, there is a significant chance it is also affecting your eyes — often without you realizing it.
