If you live with dry eyes, you know how frustrating and uncomfortable it can be. Fortunately, there are treatments available that can help relieve your symptoms and improve your quality of life. One such treatment is Optilight, a new type of light therapy used to manage dry eyes that is now offered at Dittman Eyecare.
What Causes Dry Eyes?
Dry eyes can have several causes, including age, lifestyle, and environment. As you get older, your eyes produce less tears, which can lead to dryness. Additionally, if you spend a lot of time in front of a computer or using electronic devices, you may be more likely to experience dry eyes. Exposure to wind or sun can also cause dry eyes.
What are the Symptoms of Dry Eyes?
Your eyes may feel gritty, itchy, or burning. You may also have trouble producing tears. All of these symptoms can make it difficult to carry out your daily activities.
How Does Optilight Work?
Optilight is a type of light therapy used to manage dry eyes. It works by emitting infrared light, which helps to increase the production of tears. Optilight is a non-invasive treatment that is safe and effective for people of all ages.
During an Optilight session, you will sit or lie down in a comfortable position and wear goggles that emit the infrared light. The light will be directed at your eyes for several minutes. Most people experience relief from their symptoms after just one Optilight session. However, depending on your individual case, you may need to undergo multiple sessions in order to achieve the desired results.
