What Is Dry Eye Disease?
Dry eye disease is an eye condition that occurs when your eyes don’t get adequate lubrication from your tears to keep them moist and comfortable. This is often a result of your eyes not producing enough tears or producing tears that are low quality.
Your tears are made up of 3 distinct layers, all of which work together to keep your eyes healthy and lubricated:
- The oily layer prevents your tears from evaporating too quickly
- The watery layer delivers nutrients to your eyes
- The mucus layer keeps your tear film stuck to the surface of your eyes
If there’s an issue with any one of these layers, it can lead to dry eye disease.
The Role of the Meibomian Glands
One of the leading causes of dry eye disease is meibomian gland dysfunction.
Meibomian gland dysfunction occurs when blockages form in your meibomian glands, which are located around the edges of your eyelid. These blockages prevent your tear film from getting the oils it needs, which can cause your tears to evaporate too quickly, leading to dry eye symptoms.
What Is Dry Eye Therapy – OptiLight?
OptiLight by Lumenis is a safe, gentle, and effective treatment for dry eye symptoms caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. This non-invasive procedure is the first and only FDA-approved intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment for dry eye management.
OptiLight uses precise pulses of light, done in the area below the eyes, to reduce dry eye symptoms. This 10-15 minute procedure can significantly relieve dry eye symptoms by:
- Increasing tear break-up time
- Reducing the amount of demodex mites and bacteria living around your eyes
- Eliminating blood vessels that contribute to inflammation
- Improving meibomian gland functionality
Is OptiLight by Lumenis Right for Me?
While OptiLight by Lumenis is an effective dry eye management solution, we want to make sure it’s right for you. We do not recommend this treatment if you:
- Are taking certain medications, like Accutane
- Have active acne
- Suffer from certain skin disorders
- Are susceptible to keloid scarring
- Have severe scarring
- Have severely sunburned recently
Your optometrist is the only person who can determine which dry eye treatment is best for you and your individual needs. During your next eye exam, ask us if you are a good candidate for OptiLight by Lumenis.

Our Google Reviews And Testimonials
I cannot express in words the efficacy and professionalism of Dr. Pham however, I will try. I have a serious eye condition: keratoconus and a very extreme case at that. Unfortunately, eyeglasses are not an option for me therefore contacts are my only means for sight. I’ve always lived with mediocre contact fitting and lens prescription. For the first time in years I was able to see 20/20 because of Dr. Pham’s mastery of her craft. It wasn’t easy for her, during the exam she went above and beyond unsatisfied and unacceptable of any result but perfection for my sight. Her prowess of due diligence was as if it were her own eyesight she was correcting. I wish I met her years ago.

I was very pleased with the professional care received at my initial appointment! Dr. Pham explained everything in detail and Angelica was very helpful in assisting me selecting my frame. Even without insurance it was very affordable. Definitely going back for my annual check up.
Si necesitan un medico para revisar sus ojos la Dra Pham es la mejor opción. Es muy profesional y explica todo en detalle.

I would 11/10 recommend Eyedeal Eyecare. The office is absolutely beautiful, uses the most current technology, and has a large variety of stylish frames to choose from. Dr. Pham is not your average doctor, she goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience. She is patient, kind, and extremely thorough. Angelica was so sweet and knowledgeable, she definitely made the process of choosing a pair of frames easier. We could not have asked for a better experience and will definitely be returning for all our future eye care needs!
-Bethany
Dr Pham is really amazing!! She is extremely knowledgable and took the time to explain in detail how the eyes/lids work and what was going on with my inflamed eyelids including detail pictures of my eyes. Then we discussed my treatment plan, insurance and timetable. I will be going to her to get my inflamed chronic dry eyes and blepharitis under control. Because this is a lifelong chronic issue, I will continue to see Dr. Pham from time to time for my eye maintenance.
I ask her to clean my eyelids while I was there and WOW instant relief! Then she showed me the before and after pictures, the gunk was gone!
I have been to other Dr’s over the years and nobody even comes close to her caliber in what she does. What a relief!
I highly recommend Dr. Pham with EYEDEAL EYECARE.
