OptiLIGHT™ IPL Treatment for Dry Eyes
The brighter way to treat Dry Eye in NYC.
Providing clarity, comfort and confidence.
Life doesn’t slow down for dry, strained, burning, and exhausted eyes.
OptiLIGHT™ Light Therapy for Dry Eye and other conditions at Moskowitz Eye Care on the Upper East Side gives you a safe, non-surgical way to treat dry eyes and other ocular discomfort at the source – not just mask it with endless artificial tears or plugs.
OptiLIGHT is the first and only FDA-approved Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatment due to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), the most common cause of chronic dry eye.
How IPL alleviates dry and tired eyes
Using controlled pulses of light applied to the skin just beneath the eyes, OptiLIGHT:
Reduces inflammation and abnormal blood vessels around the eyelids
Helps restore healthy function of the meibomian (oil) glands
Stabilizes the tear film so your eyes stay comfortable longer
Most treatment plans involve a series of four quick sessions, each roughly 10-to-15 minutes long, with no downtime. You can head right back to work, the subway, or dinner plans.

IPL Treatments are sometimes referred to as “Photofacials,” which are offered at many med spas and cosmetic practices in NYC. Read why it’s a good idea to get one with an eye doctor!
More IPL Benefits for MGD & Dry Eye
IPL Photofacials will help you see sharper and look younger, too.
Because OptiLIGHT improves the skin and blood vessels around the eyes, many patients notice the following improvements:
Less redness and irritation
Smoother, more even skin tone around the eyelids
Treats recurrent styes, eyelid inflammation, and rosacea
Eyes that look calmer and less tired, not just feel better
Eradicates Demodex mites, one of the most common causes of blepharitis
It’s a great option if you’re not ready for more invasive procedures but want something much more effective and lasting than “just another prescription drop.”
