Eye-Light®

For many years, patients with dry eyes had limited treatment options. Eye drops could only provide temporary relief, but not a true solution. Today, there are scientifically proven, novel techniques that were not available before bringing new hope to patients who have long suffered with this condition.

The Dry Eye Centre at The Eye Clinic by Dr. Cheryl Lee was established to offer these advanced solutions. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we address the root causes of dry eyes blepharitis (eyelid inflammation) and meibomitis (blocked oil glands).

Our goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to restore comfort, clarity, and long-term eye health by treating the underlying problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dry Eye Treatment with Eye-Light®

Is the treatment painful?
✨ No. Eye-Light® sessions are safe, gentle, and well tolerated. Patients often describe it as warm and soothing — like a “spa treatment” for the eyes.

How soon will I see results?
✨ Many patients feel relief after the first session. However, the treatment is accumulative, so 3 sessions are recommended for the best and longest-lasting results.

Do I still need to use eye drops after treatment?
✨ In most cases, the need for eye drops is greatly reduced or even eliminated, because Eye-Light® treats the root cause of dry eyes, not just the symptoms.

How long does each session take?
✨ About 20 minutes. It’s a walk-in, walk-out procedure with no downtime.

Is the treatment suitable for children?
✨ Yes. Eye-Light® is safe for both adults and children, especially helpful for styes and chalazions, often preventing the need for surgery.

Will I need maintenance treatments?
✨ Yes, some patients choose to come back every 3 months for maintenance, especially if their eyes feel more comfortable with ongoing support.

Eye-Light®

Scientifically Proven Treatment for Meibomian Gland Disease

A combination of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and LED therapy to treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (also known as Marginal Gland Disease), which is the underlying cause of most dry eye cases.

How It Works

  • LIGHT MODULATION® (LED Therapy):
    Applies gentle, controlled heat directly to the eyelids, unblocking the Meibomian glands and stimulating them to produce a healthy oil layer that stabilises your tears.

  • OPE® (IPL Therapy):
    Applied to the periorbital and cheekbone areas, IPL stimulates neurotransmitters that encourage the Meibomian glands to contract and release more natural oil. This improves the lipid layer of the tear film and reduces tear evaporation.

Conditions Treated with Eye-Light®

  • Dry eyes caused by Meibomian Gland Disease

  • Styes and Chalazions: By liquefying and releasing blocked oil, Eye-Light® helps clear the glands naturally — often avoiding the need for surgery. Both children and adults benefit from this safe and effective treatment.

Treatment Plan

  • 3 sessions are recommended for optimal results, as the effect is accumulative

  • Sessions last 20 minutes each and are spaced 2–7 days apart

  • 86% of patients experience significant improvement

  • Many patients return every 3 months for maintenance and to keep their eyes comfortable

Treatment is quick and painless — like a “spa for your eyes”.

Walk in, enjoy the session, and walk out with no downtime or extra care needed between visits.
