Low-level light therapy (LLLT)

Low-level light therapy (LLLT) is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes specialized LEDs to enhance tear production and stimulate cellular activity. This therapy entails the use of a facial mask equipped with red or blue LEDs placed on the eyelids. The red and blue masks target different exacerbated symptoms, revitalizing and rejuvenating the eyes. The red mask promotes increased blood circulation and natural oil production, aiding in unclogging the meibomian glands and alleviating symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome and blepharitis. On the other hand, the blue mask acts as an antimicrobial agent, combating bacteria such as Demodex that may accumulate on the eyelids.

At Smart Eyecare, a typical LLLT session lasts for 20 minutes and is entirely painless. It's most effective when received in a five-session treatment program with two to three weeks in between sessions. Depending on the specific symptoms targeted, the treatment may be combined with BelphEx lid treatment and/or meibomian gland expression. Patients can anticipate a bright, intense light from the mask, akin to closing one's eyes on a sunny beach during midday.

What Are The Benefits of Low-Level Light Therapy? Apart from its painless nature and lack of downtime, LLLT is also remarkably safe, effective, and associated with minimal side effects. These attributes render it an excellent option for individuals suffering from dry eye and blepharitis. The potential benefits of LLLT are manifold and include:

  • Enhanced tear production
  • Reduced inflammation and irritation
  • Improvement in the health of the tear film
  • Augmented blood flow to the eyes
  • Alleviation of pain and discomfort
  • Clearance of obstructed oil glands
  • Diminished symptoms of dry eye and blepharitis
