Dry Eye is a common concern within the population and can be caused when your eyes do not produce enough tears or when your tears evaporate too quickly – leading to lack of moisture on the surface of the eye.
Blepharitis can cause Dry Eye. The likelihood of Dry Eye increases with age as tear production tends to decrease. There are other factors too, including hormonal, caused by things like the menopause, or environmental such as extended screen use or contact wearers, and many more. At Lynton we can offer a solution to manage this using IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). This non-invasive solution for those suffering from dry, irritated eyes can now be managed with a course of IPL treatments. Lynton provides both the Dynamix (3Juve), Lumina and Excelight for IPL treatment.

IPL Benefits for Dry Eye
With IPL technology available in several products, Lynton customers can experience significant relief from dry eye symptoms, all in a comfortable, professional setting. IPL can be used to achieve the following outcomes:
Photomodulation Effect
In Dry Eye the mitochondria can become less effective overtime. IPL can have a photo modulation effect, revitalising the mitochondria to make them more effective, stimulating cell activity and improving the health of the skin around the eye’s lids.
Reduced Inflammation
The IPL can reduce inflammation of the eyelids and reduce the release of histones that dilate and distort the blood vessels near the meibomian glands.
Improved Meibomian Gland Function
Another cause behind Dry Eye is a build-up of waxy secretion that solidifies in the meibomian gland. The heat from the IPL can make these lipids more flowable, improve the meibomian secretions and reduce tear salt concentration.
Reduction of Demodex Mites
IPL can reduce the number of Dermodex Mites (microscopic pathogens found on the skin and eyelashes) and eliminate them, which can improve the symptoms of dry eye and rosacea.
Collagen Tightening
The added benefit of IPL is collagen tightening that can reduce wrinkles in the eye area.
How IPL Works for Dry Eye
IPL emits bursts of light with specific wavelengths (due to filters) that are absorbed by the blood vessels beneath the skin. These wavelengths can reduce inflammation of the eyelids as the light pulses cause small blood vessels in the skin to constrict or collapse. This helps reduce the blood flow, decreasing inflammation. Ultimately leading to IPL helping to minimise the chronic irritation in the eyelid area.
IPL pulses also create heat, which heats the skin around the eyelids. This warms the meibomian glands that produce the oily layer of tears. This heat softens the hard, waxy oil within these glands, allowing it to flow more freely and preventing gland blockages.
