OPTILIGHT SETTINGS

OptiLight settings are supported by over 30 clinical studies and have been in existence for over 20 years in cosmetic and dermatologic treatment. They have been improved to treat and manage dry eye, as well as styes and chalazions. The treatment prevents the recurrence of a stye or chalazion in the same gland. Most patients experience results after the first treatment and notice further improvement after the second treatment. Aesthetic benefits are commonly provided through non-invasive facial photorejuvenation.

About Photorejuvenation

Photorejuvenation refers to the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to treat conditions related to sun-induced skin damage. IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, which is primarily absorbed by melanin and oxyhemoglobin and is effective in reducing the appearance of sun spots, capillaries, elastosis, and fine lines.

Dry Eye Disease is inflammation driven responses to a variety of triggers, which may not be adequately managed with a patient’s ongoing maintenance therapy, such as artificial tears and daily chronic prescription therapies.

Dr. Rustagi and his Associates can relieve your discomfort, help you manage (and even eliminate) the potentially disabling vision symptoms of dry eye.

People who have Dry Eye Syndrome may experience these complications

• Eye Infections. Your tears protect the surface of your eyes from infection. Without adequate tears, you may have an increased risk of infection.
• Damage to the surface of your eyes. If left untreated, severe dry eyes can lead to eye inflammation, abrasion of the corneal surface, corneal ulcers and vision loss.
• Decreased quality of life. Dry eyes can make it difficult to perform everyday activities, such as reading.

Patient preparation for the day of appointment

• Do not use any drops, facial creams, makeup or sunscreen.
• Do not wear contact lenses.
• Do not use any eye ointments or swim for 24 hours prior to the appointment.
• You will not require a driver as your vision will not be affected after the evaluation/testing.
