Low-Level Light Therapy for Dry Eye in Hillsborough, NJ
A gentle, non-invasive option to support dry eye treatment
If you are experiencing burning, irritation, or fluctuating vision, dry eye may be affecting your daily comfort.
At Advanced Eyecare of Hillsborough, we offer Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) — a non-invasive treatment designed to support eyelid health and improve symptoms associated with dry eye.
What Is Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT)?
Low-Level Light Therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM), uses specific wavelengths of red or near-infrared light to support cellular activity.
In eye care, LLLT is used to help support the function of the meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oil layer of your tears.
Healthy gland function is essential for maintaining a stable tear film and comfortable vision.
How LLLT Helps Dry Eye
LLLT delivers controlled light energy to the eyelids through specialized LED technology.
This process may help:
- Gently warm the eyelid area
- Support meibomian gland function
- Improve tear film stability
- Reduce inflammation associated with dry eye
- Enhanced overall eye health
- Effective treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis
LLLT is often used as part of a comprehensive dry eye management plan, depending on the cause of your symptoms.
Conditions LLLT May Help Support
Low-Level Light Therapy may be considered for patients with:
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
- Evaporative dry eye
- Chronic eyelid inflammation
- Blepharitis-related symptoms
A full evaluation is important to determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific condition.
