Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that affects many people in Oviedo, often leading to discomfort, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light. Traditional treatments such as artificial tears or warm compresses can offer temporary relief, but many patients are now finding long-lasting results through an advanced treatment known as Low Level Light Therapy, or LLLT.
Low Level Light Therapy is a gentle, noninvasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate natural healing processes in the body. When used for dry eye, LLLT targets the meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily layer of your tear film. When these glands become clogged or dysfunctional, the tears evaporate too quickly, causing dryness and irritation.
LLLT works by delivering controlled LED light to the eyelids and surrounding skin. The heat and energy from the light help to unclog the meibomian glands, reduce inflammation, and restore the normal flow of oils needed to maintain a healthy tear film. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and typically takes about 15 minutes.
Many patients report improvement in their symptoms after just a few sessions. Some of the most notable benefits include:
LLLT is especially effective for those who have not responded well to traditional therapies or who suffer from chronic meibomian gland dysfunction.
