If you live on the Central Coast and suffer from dry eyes, you most likely have already tried all the typical treatments for dry eye including prescription and over the counter eye drops. If you’ve had limited success with these treatments then we offer you a different approach to treating dry eye. Our office utilizes the latest technologies in phototherapy and thermal pulsation. Phototherapy is a method of using light to treat eye disorders. The phototherapy devices emit specific wavelengths of light proven to have regenerative properties through a process known as photo biomodulation. The light interacts with the cells in and around the eyes to reestablish natural order in a non-invasive way. This approach restores balance to the eye health on a deeper level than traditional treatments. It also helps avoid unwanted side effects from pharmaceutical drops in the eyes.
During an IPL session, a xenon flash lamp produces light that can be pulsed and filtered to specific wavelengths. When the pulses of light emitted by this device are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) and red blood cells in the skin, heat is generated.

The LLLT mask utilizes uses focused LED lights to stimulate a process called photo biomodulation. During photo biomodulation, light photons enter the tissue and penetrate the mitochondria of the cells stimulating the production of ATP. One effect is repair and regeneration of the cells from the light bio stimulation.
