Advanced Dry Eye
Treatment with OptiLight
An estimated 49 million people in the United States suffer from dry eye disease, making it one of the most common eye conditions. Many patients rely on artificial tears for temporary relief, but those solutions often fail to treat the underlying problem. Prairie View Eyecare offers OptiLight by Lumenis, an innovative light-based treatment that helps relieve dry eye by targeting its underlying causes.

OptiLIGHT uses gentle pulses of light to reduce inflammation and restore the function of the oil glands in the eyelids. When these glands work properly, they help stabilize the tear film and prevent tears from evaporating too quickly.
Patients often experience:
Improved tear quality
Reduced eye irritation and redness
More stable vision
Longer-lasting relief compared to eye drops alone
Treatment is quick, comfortable, and performed in-office with little to no downtime.
An added Benefit: Improved Skin Appearance
In addition to helping relieve dry eye symptoms, OptiLight treatments may also provide cosmetic benefits for the skin around the eyes.
The light energy used during treatment can help improve:
Skin tone and texture
Redness associated with inflammation
The appearance of fine lines around the treated area
Many patients appreciate that while treating their dry eye condition, they also notice healthier-looking skin around the eyes.
