Why Choose IPL Therapy and Tixel-i?

  • Proven Effectiveness: Both OptiLight IPL and Tixel-i are scientifically supported treatments that address the most common root cause of dry eye – poor meibomian gland function. IPL reduces inflammation and restores a healthier eyelid environment, while Tixel-i directly rejuvenates the glands to improve oil flow.

  • Personalized Approach: Dry eye (also known as ocular surface disease) can develop from multiple factors. Our doctors tailor each treatment plan to your specific needs, often recommending a combination of both IPL and Tixel-i for the most effective, lasting results.

  • Cutting-Edge Technology: Oro Valley Eyecare is proud to offer Lumenis OptiLight IPL, the only FDA-approved IPL treatment for dry eye, along with Tixel-i, a breakthrough device that uses precise thermal energy to rejuvenate the meibomian glands.

  • Comprehensive Care: By pairing IPL with Tixel-i, we can both calm inflammation and restore gland function. The synergy of these two treatments creates a healthier tear film, giving you lasting relief from burning, irritation, and fluctuating vision.

Effective Treatment Tailored to You

Our approach starts with accurate diagnosis. We use advanced imaging and screening to understand your unique condition. Based on your assessment, our skilled professionals create a personalized treatment plan, which may include:

  • Lumenis Optilight IPL Therapy: By targeting inflamed areas around the eyes, IPL therapy reduces discomfort, calms abnormal blood vessels, and encourages healthier tear production through multiple mechanisms.

  • Tixel-i Therapy: This breakthrough treatment delivers safe, precise thermal energy through the eyelids to directly rejuvenate and restore meibomian gland function. By improving gland health and stimulating natural oil flow, Tixel-i helps stabilize the tear film and reduce evaporation-related dryness.

  • Prescription Medications: Options such as Cequa, Vevye, Restasis, Xiidra, Tyrvaya,Tryptyr, and short-term steroid eye drops (like Eysuvis) can be prescribed to reduce inflammation and improve ocular comfort.

  • Nutritional Support: In addition to advanced treatments, we may recommend Omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy diet, and targeted supplements. These nutrients support healthy tear production and overall eye wellness, complementing the results of IPL and Tixel-i therapy.
