These therapies treat the underlying cause of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and dry eye syndrome (DES), providing long lasting results for millions of dry eye patients. Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that results in insufficient tear quantity or inadequate tear quality.
IPL works by improving the function of the meibomian glands found in the eye lids. The meibomian glands have an important function for normal tear film. IPL helps to reduce inflammation, decrease ocular redness (rosacea), destroy bacteria and demodex mites, and improves the tear film.

Family Vision is harnessing the use of Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) for dry eye disease. The combinations of red light, yellow light, blue light, and infrared light wavelengths help stimulate your meibomian glands, which keep your eyes wet.
LLLT uses non-visible wavelengths of light. A 2023 study involving people with dry eye reported that LLLT may be more effective than IPL at relieving dry eye symptoms. Although it is often most beneficial to combine IPL and LLLT treatments for Dry Eye Syndrome.
