Dry eye can interfere with reading, screen time, driving, contact lens wear, and time outdoors. Dr. Clare L.

Why choose us for iLight Pro LLLT
Oculus Keratograph 5M testing for a clearer diagnosis
Before recommending iLight Pro, Dr. Wilder evaluates the factors contributing to your dry eye. The Oculus Keratograph 5M provides objective information about your tear film, ocular surface, and meibomian glands, helping identify whether eyelid inflammation or gland dysfunction may be affecting your comfort.
Low-level LED therapy with no recovery time
iLight Pro uses controlled red and near-infrared LED light over the closed eyelids to support healthier eyelid tissue and meibomian gland function. It does not use intense light flashes or significant heat. Treatment typically takes about 10–15 minutes, and you can return to your normal routine immediately afterward.
Doctor-approved products and home lid care
In-office treatment is most effective when supported by a practical routine at home. Based on your needs, Dr. Wilder may recommend eyelid hygiene practices and doctor-approved dry eye products to help maintain eyelid health, support your tear film, and extend the benefits of treatment.
When might iLight Pro LLLT be recommended?
iLight Pro LLLT may be recommended when dry eye symptoms are connected to eyelid inflammation or meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). It uses gentle red and near-infrared LED light to support healthier eyelid tissue, gland function, and tear film stability.
When eyelid inflammation is affecting gland function
Inflammation around the eyelids can interfere with the meibomian glands, which produce the oil layer of your tears. When this layer is compromised, tears can evaporate too quickly. iLight Pro may support patients with MGD, blepharitis, eyelid inflammation, or ocular rosacea-related dry eye.
When a gentle light-based treatment is preferred
Unlike IPL, iLight Pro does not use intense flashes of light or significant heat. Its low-level LED light is applied over closed eyelids, making it a comfortable, noninvasive option for patients looking to manage dry eye without surgery, medication, or downtime.
When a combined treatment approach is appropriate
Dry eye often involves more than one contributing factor. Based on your exam findings, iLight Pro may be used alongside OptiLight IPL, meibomian gland expression, TearCare, and a personalized home lid hygiene routine to support more complete dry eye management.
A comprehensive evaluation helps Dr. Wilder determine whether iLight Pro is an appropriate option for your needs.
What happens during iLight Pro treatment?
A comfortable in-office session
You will relax in the treatment chair while the iLight Pro device is positioned over your closed eyelids. The LED light is applied externally, and treatment typically takes about 10–15 minutes.
A plan tailored to your findings
Treatment frequency depends on your symptoms, gland health, and exam results. Dr. Wilder may recommend an initial series of visits, followed by maintenance care if needed. iLight Pro may also be paired with other therapies for a more comprehensive approach.
Back to your day afterward
There is no downtime after treatment. You can return to your usual daily activities immediately following your appointment.
