What is iLux?
iLux® is an advanced in-office treatment that targets one of the most common causes of dry eye: Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). The Meibomian glands, located along your eyelids, produce oils that are essential for keeping your eyes hydrated. When these glands become blocked, the tear film becomes unstable, resulting in dry, uncomfortable eyes.
The iLux® system uses innovative thermal pulsation technology to gently warm and compress your eyelids, helping to unclog the Meibomian glands and restore normal oil flow.
How Does iLux® Treatment Work?
1. Evaluation: Your doctor will assess your eye health and the condition of your Meibomian glands to determine if iLux® is right for you.
2. Treatment: During the treatment, a small handheld device is placed on your eyelid. The iLux® system gently applies heat to melt the blockage in the glands while delivering gentle compressions to express the oils.
3. Relief: In just 8-12 minutes per eye, iLux® can restore natural oil flow and alleviate symptoms of dry eye. Many patients experience noticeable relief after just one session.
Why Choose iLux®?
- Quick and Comfortable: iLux® treatment is minimally invasive, comfortable, and typically takes less than 30 minutes.
- Long-Lasting Relief: The results can last for several months, reducing the need for artificial tears and other temporary solutions.
- Personalized Care: The treatment is tailored to your specific needs, targeting the root cause of your dry eye symptoms.
