WE ARE EXCITED TO REPORT EXCELLENT RESULTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DRY EYE AND BLEPHARITIS WITH IPL (INTENSE PULSE LIGHT) IN OUR CUMMING AND DACULA OFFICES!
Performed by Dr. Kaufman, IPL is a non-invasive procedure. It is believed that IPL improves the function of eye glands that can help lubricate the eye. Hundreds of patients have reported their eyes feel better and their vision has improved with IPL therapy. Dr. Kaufman has been performing IPL in his offices for over a year with spectacular results reported by many patients. IPL is used to treat the underlying condition that causes your dry eyes, not just the symptoms. Artificial tears only treat the symptoms of dryness.
During your IPL therapy, the doctor will first apply IPL shields to protect your eyes from the light. Then a thin layer of cooling gel is applied to the treatment area. Next, a small handheld device is used to administer pulses of light to the cheek and surrounding area. Finally, Dr. Kaufman will express your Meibomian glands to clear any blockages.
Perhaps IPL is right for you! Please call our Cumming or Dacula offices at 770-292-1999 for more information.
