intense pulsated light
Many dry eye treatments only temporarily relieve symptoms without addressing the underlying cause. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy targets Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), which is responsible for approximately 85% of dry eye cases. The Meibomian glands produce the protective oil layer of your tears, and when these glands become blocked, tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, burning, irritation, redness, and fluctuating vision. IPL therapy uses gentle pulses of light to help liquefy and release blocked oils, reduce inflammation, and restore healthier gland function for longer-lasting relief. San Antonio Eyeworks is proud to be one of the first clinics in San Antonio to offer this advanced technology, with over 1,000 IPL treatments performed and more than a decade of experience treating dry eye disease. In clinical studies conducted by the Mayo Clinic, 89% of patients experienced significant improvement in dry eye symptoms after IPL treatment.
