LLLT (low-level laser therapy)
Treatment for dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction
What is the LLLT treatment ?
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive and painless technique for the treatment of dry eye and meibomian gland dysfunction. This technology can also be used to treat styes, chalazia, and blepharitis.
LLLT applies different light wavelengths through a mask. Red light stimulates the production of ATP (cellular energy), elastin, and collagen, while blue light has a bactericidal effect.
What are the benefits of LLLT ?
This treatment can remove newly-formed styes and chalazia. It also prevents the appearance of new styes or chalazia. It treats blepharitis and is particularly effective if preceded by Blephex. The heat liquifies the oil contained in the meibomian glands. Manual gland expression is performed following red light exposure.
