The dry eye is a condition in which there is a consistant lack of moisture in the eye. The cornea is not moisturised enough, and this in turn causes discomfort. The so-called “dry eye” is a common problem and affects 5–35% of the population during their lifetime.
Common complaints:
tingling
pain
tears
A dry eye forces the lacrimal glands to produce tears quickly, but the tears produced in a hurry do not have the substances that keep the tear fluid in the eyelid.
so-called „glowing eyes”
sensitivity to light – particularly disturbed by daylight bulbs
eye strain
incapacity to work
it is easier to listen than to watch the TV in the evenings
The innovative OptiLight IPL is the only device, which has been specifically designed for the treatment of dry eyes, and which has been approved by the FDA. With the OptiLight IPL, we can treat dry eye, stye, hailstone, and dry eye induced facial rosacea and acne associated with dry eye.
Dr. Rolando Toyos – the co-author of this method and device – has given additional training to our staff during a business visit.
How does the OptiLight IPL treatment work?
OptiLight IPL treatment is performed with a device that produces intense pulsating light (flashes of light). The method is designed to suit all skin types.
Light directed at the skin:
reduces skin inflammation (e.g. rosacea) and inflammation of the eyelids (e.g. blepharitis).
the quality of the tear film improves
reduces skin inflammation (e.g. rosacea) and inflammation of the eyelids (e.g. blepharitis).
OptiLight IPL is a supplementary treatment procedure that is performed in addition to other treatments.

GutWell is an analysis of the gut microbiome. The microbiome is the collection of genomes of all microorganisms in the human body. An imbalanced microbiome can lead to various health problems such as obesity, digestive problems and
autoimmune diseases. (Source Genorama)
Our good external consultant Dr. Rolando Toyos has found in his research that when the balance of intestinal microorganisms is out of balance, it causes inflammation in the eyelid glands and therefore dry eye. In his clinic, dry eye patients always have their gut microflora examined and advice is given on what to change in their diet to restore balance.
