If you live with scratchy and irritated eyes, you know how frustrating daily life can become. At 2020 Family Vision, our team helps people find real solutions for chronic dry eyes.
We serve communities across Michigan, including Novi, Lake Orion, Farmington Hill, Ann Arbor, and Bloomfield Hills.
Many people rely on constant eye drops without getting better. That is why we offer advanced OptiLight therapy — a specialized light treatment that targets the source of your discomfort.
OptiLight is a non-invasive light therapy that treats dry eyes by targeting blocked oil glands in your eyelids. Most chronic dry eye happens because your tears evaporate too quickly. OptiLight uses precise light pulses to heat and liquefy blockages.
According to a clinical protocol published in PLOS One, standard treatment involves four sessions spaced two weeks apart. During each session, we protect your eyes with shields and apply warm light flashes to your skin, followed by a gentle manual clearing of the glands.
No, OptiLight is not a permanent cure, but it is a highly effective way to manage chronic dry eye symptoms.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology notes that long-term management is typically necessary. Because dry eye is a progressive condition, the underlying inflammation can slowly return over time.
To maintain your comfortable vision, we customize a long-term care plan for you. This often includes:
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation to ensure OptiLight is the safest and most effective choice for your eyes. This treatment works best for patients with lighter skin tones. Our team carefully evaluates your eye health and skin type before recommending any procedure.
If OptiLight is right for you, we perform the treatment right in our comfortable offices. If you need other options, we also offer intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy and customized home care strategies.
If you are ready to find relief from dry eyes, schedule an appointment with 2020 Family Vision today. Our experienced team is here to help you see and feel your best.
