How IPL Laser Works to Improve Eye Health
What is IPL laser?
IPL laser is used in ophthalmology for the treatment and relief of eye conditions such as dry eye. At PRESBIT, we offer Thermaeye Plus technology, based on high-intensity pulsed light (IPL), which originates from the dermatology and tissue regeneration sectors. Thermaeye Plus is the first device worldwide to be ophthalmologically certified, confirming it as the best and most appropriate treatment for dry eye.
IPL treatment: improve your vision, reduce discomfort
What are the causes of dry eye?
In most cases, dry eyes are due to poor function of the meibomian glands, which are located in the eyelids, very close to the eyelashes. These glands are responsible for producing the most fatty component of tears, which helps prevent them from evaporating easily, allowing proper lubrication of the cornea.

Which patients can undergo IPL?
IPL treatment for dry eyes can be performed directly on any skin type (from phototype 1 to 6), without the need for filters or other additional cooling systems that are required with most laser and IPL platforms, in order to avoid burns or changes in skin pigmentation.
Furthermore, thanks to the ultra-regulated intense light technology (LIUR), the treatment can be applied directly to the lower and upper eyelids, as well as to the free edge of the eyelashes, something that was previously impossible for safety reasons, and which greatly reduced the effectiveness of this type of treatment.
Now we can achieve a complete beneficial effect with maximum safety.
How is IPL treatment performed?
The treatment consists of applying several constant series of short-intensity micropulses to the eyelids to correct the problem.
This treatment reduces inflammation and stimulates circulation in the area and, most importantly, reactivates the nerve endings of the glands so that they can secrete the necessary fats to protect the surface of the eye.
An IPL session can make all the difference
What other eye diseases can be treated with IPL?
Its revolutionary technology allows for the treatment of other eye diseases such as blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids), styes (chalazion), conjunctivitis, or Demodex infection (a mite that can colonize the glands of the eyelids).
Thanks to its multiple filters, the device also allows for the treatment of rosacea (couperose), pigmented lesions and skin blemishes, telangiectasias (spider veins), and skin wrinkles thanks to its tightening and collagen-inducing effect.
