Intense Pulsed Light
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is a light-based therapy where light pulses penetrate the skin and generate heat in the dermal layer, melting the gland secretions and opening meibomian glands. Patients feel a warm sensation on their skin but not pain. Immediately after treatment the glands can be expressed while still warm.
With each IPL treatment, we are able to utilize thermal technology to help remove blockages from the meibomian glands and photomodulate the major source for inflammation, telangiectatic blood vessels . By doing this we are able to help the body restore it's natural oil flow to the tear film.
Studies have shown that by reducing inflammation, each IPL treatment achieves a significant improvement in meibomian gland function leading to an improvement in patient's symptoms.

"Dr. Anderson and his staff are so patient and friendly. Dr. Anderson prescribed me glasses and I had the toughest time picking out frames. They didn’t rush, but instead made helpful suggestions and now I have an awesome pair of frames, not to mention the fact that I can see ten times better than before. You guys are the best!"
