If you suffer from dry, irritated, or burning eyes, you're not alone. Dry eye disease is a common condition, particularly in environments like San Antonio, where allergens, wind, and screen time can all take a toll. At Today’s Vision Bulverde, we’re proud to offer one of the most innovative solutions available today: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy using the advanced InMode platform.
 

What Causes Dry Eye?

Dry eye occurs when your eyes either don't produce enough tears or produce tears that lack the proper chemical composition. One of the leading causes of chronic dry eye is meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a blockage or abnormality in the oil-producing glands of your eyelids. These glands are critical for creating the protective oil layer of your tears. Without it, tears evaporate too quickly, leaving your eyes feeling dry and inflamed.
 

What Is IPL Therapy?

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a non-invasive treatment originally used in dermatology to target skin issues like rosacea and sun damage. In eye care, it’s been adapted to treat dry eye by focusing on the root cause.
 

Using InMode’s precise IPL technology, controlled light pulses are applied to the skin around the eyes. This reduces inflammation, breaks up clogged oil glands, and stimulates healthy oil production, restoring balance to the tear film. In addition, IPL has been shown to reduce Demodex mites and bacteria that contribute to eyelid inflammation.
 

Why InMode’s IPL Stands Out

InMode is recognized as a leader in medical aesthetics and wellness, and its Lumecca IPL system offers one of the most powerful and effective dry eye treatment options on the market. Its advanced light technology provides:
 

• Targeted precision for consistent results
• Comfort-focused treatments with minimal downtime
• Cumulative improvements with a series of short sessions

Patients at Today’s Vision Bulverde often report noticeable relief from symptoms after just a few treatments.
 

What to Expect During Treatment

Your IPL therapy sessions are quick and comfortable - typically lasting only 15-20 minutes. After applying a cooling gel and protective eyewear, our team will use the InMode IPL device to deliver gentle pulses of light around your lower eyelids and cheek area. Most patients require a series of 3-4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results. There’s no downtime, and you can return to your daily routine shortly after treatment.
 

Transforming Lives in San Antonio

In a climate like San Antonio’s, where environmental factors can worsen dry eye symptoms, IPL therapy offers a much-needed breakthrough. At Today’s Vision Bulverde, we’re committed to bringing the latest advancements in eye care to our San Antonio community.
