Addresses the root cause

How does IPL treatment work?
It is a painless, quick and non-invasive process that uses light treatment to gently soften the eyelids natural oils and encourage the tear film to stabilise. Proven by clinical research, this method is effective in targeting and relieving dry eye symptoms.

What is IPL?
IPL is a technologically advanced treatment that has been clinically proven to combat the symptoms of dry eyes. Clinical trials indicate that patients treated with IPL therapy experienced an 86% improvement in the symptoms of chronic dry eyes (burning, irritated eyes, sensitive to light, fluctuating vision, grittiness and blurring).
IPL encourages important, oily secretions in the eyelids to move onto the tear film to keep the eyes moisturized. It is a quick and painless treatment with immediate results. At OCULA, we use the E-Eye: an IPL device that generates polychromatic pulsed light by producing perfectly calibrated and homogeneously sequenced light pulses.
OCULA Director and Principal Optometrist, Danielle Winstone describes the treatment as breakthrough: “It’s exciting as IPL is aimed at addressing the underlying problem that causes dry eyes, rather than eye drops that only provide temporary relief. Patients notice significant improvements in their symptoms, with relief that lasts much longer than conventional treatments.”
How does it work?
The E-Eye IPL machine works by transmitting gentle, yet powerful bursts of light to the tear glands. This softens the natural oily secretions contained in the eyelids, and allows them to be mobilised onto the eye. After intense pulsed light, your optometrist will perform a meibomian gland expression by applying pressure to the eyelids to express the glands and squeeze out the oils. This stabilizes the tear film and reduces feelings of gritty, sore and dry eyes.
Each IPL treatment continues to improve on the previous session.
What happens in a session?
Your optometrist will place protective goggles on your eyes and apply a cooling hydrogel on your skin. They will guide you through the process, and deliver 4-5 intense light pulses to the lower eyelid area. This only takes a few minutes and there’s no injections or needles. After the pulsed light treatment, your optometrist will express the natural secretions from your eyelids onto the tear layer. Each treatment takes 30 minutes.
How many sessions do I need? When will I see results?
The results are immediate and the effect is cumulative. For optimum results, we recommend 5 treatments - which are done in 5 separate sessions. See above for our recommended treatment plan. If any further treatments are needed, your optometrist will discuss this with you at your appointment.
Research shows that 86% of patients show an improvement of symptoms and 95% of patients would recommend the treatment to others.
Can I get rid of Dry Eye Syndrome?
Unfortunately dry eye tends to be a condition that requires ongoing management. A bit like having dry legs… sometimes you need more moisturiser than others! The good news is the majority of patients can achieve ongoing, sustained comfort without too many adjustments to their lifestyle.
How do I know if I need IPL treatment?
Your optometrist will be able to advise you on this. We recommend patients see us for a Dry Eye examination, where we take a comprehensive look at a person’s dry eye profile, including symptoms, triggers, medical and lifestyle factors. From there, we will recommend a tailored treatment plan to ensure the best results.
What other treatments exist for Dry Eye Syndrome?
Eye compresses and eye drops can provide temporary relief but often aren’t enough to overcome the daily discomfort for people with DES. On average, people who suffer Dry Eye Syndrome, try an average of 13.8 different types of eye drops, before seeing an Optometrist.
