LED Light Therapy

Dry Eye Treatment

LED Light Therapy

We are pleased to announce we are the first clinic in Leeds and North Yorkshire to be offering low level light therapy for dry eyes.

LED light therapy can be used as a powerful stand alone treatment or it can be added on to other treatments to optimize results (e.g. Tixel or Intense Pulsed Light, IPL). The therapy applies light energy to the face or body to obtain therapeutic benefits.

This therapy works by appling light to the face & periorbital area (the region surrounding your eyes, including the eyelids, eyebrows, and upper cheekbones) gently warming the eyelids. This therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), which are two common causes of dry eye symptoms.

Benefits of LLLT for dry eyes include:

• Reduces inflammation and redness
• Improves tear quality
• Supports long-term eye comfort
• Safe, quick, and clinically proven
