How IPL Therapy Works to Relieve Dry Eye Symptoms
MDElite iProElite IPL technology works by delivering controlled light pulses to the skin around the eyes, which reduces inflammation, eliminates abnormal blood vessels, and restores normal function to the meibomian glands. This process not only improves tear quality but also enhances overall eye comfort and reduces dependency on artificial tears. Additionally, IPL therapy can help reduce redness, irritation, and flare-ups associated with ocular rosacea.
At Premier Vision Clinic in Clive, IA, we provide personalized IPL treatments tailored to your unique dry eye condition, ensuring you receive the best care possible with long-term symptom relief.

What to Expect During Your MDElite iProElite IPL Treatment
To ensure maximum comfort and safety, Dr. Jennifer DenHartog will apply a cooling coupling gel to the treatment area before beginning your MDElite iProElite IPL therapy. Throughout the session, you will wear protective eye shields, ensuring your eyes remain completely safeguarded. Each session lasts approximately 15 minutes, during which you may experience a gentle warming sensation as the light pulses penetrate the skin. The procedure is non-invasive, well-tolerated, and designed to be as comfortable as possible.
Following the IPL treatment, Dr. DenHartog may perform meibomian gland expression to further enhance oil flow, helping your tear film stabilize more effectively. This optional step accelerates the healing process, ensuring longer-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
