Advanced Dry Eye Relief: OptiLight & OptiPlus at Schuster Family Eye Care
​
If your eyes often feel gritty, tired, or irritated, you aren't just "tired"—you might be dealing with Chronic Dry Eye. At Schuster Family Eye Care, we believe in treating the root cause of discomfort, not just masking the symptoms.
​
We are proud to offer the latest in ocular technology: the Lumenis OptiLight paired with OptiPlus radiofrequency. This dual-action treatment plan is designed to restore your eye health and get you back to seeing comfortably.
What is OptiLight?​
​OptiLight is the first and only FDA-de-novo-cleared Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment specifically designed for dry eye management. Most chronic dry eye cases are caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)—a condition where the oil glands in your eyelids become clogged.
​
-
Targets Inflammation: Gently breaks the cycle of inflammation that leads to dry eye.
-
Improves Tear Film: Helps liquefy hardened oils so your tears can protect your eyes effectively.
-
Reduces Redness: Addresses the abnormal blood vessels (telangiectasia) that cause chronic redness.
Enhancing Results with OptiPlus Radiofrequency (RF)​
​To provide the most comprehensive care, we pair OptiLight with OptiPlus. While IPL uses light, OptiPlus utilizes Radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver consistent, deep heat to the eyelids.
​
-
Deep Gland Expression: The therapeutic heat softens stubborn blockages, allowing your doctor to express the glands more effectively.
-
Non-Invasive & Comfortable: The treatment feels like a warm, soothing massage and requires zero downtime.
-
Aesthetic Bonus: OptiPlus naturally stimulates collagen, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Why Choose Schuster Family Eye Care for Dry Eye Relief?
Unlike "one-size-fits-all" approaches, our team uses a medical-grade diagnostic suite to measure your tear osmolarity and oil layer thickness. This allows us to customize your OptiLight and OptiPlus protocol to your specific level of MGD.
Benefits of Our Dual-Action Treatment:
​​
-
Long-Lasting Relief: Reduces or eliminates the need for daily artificial tears.
-
Fast Procedures: Sessions typically take only 20–30 minutes.
-
Safe for Sensitive Eyes: Clinically proven technology with a high safety profile.
