Persistent styes and eye inflammation can cause significant discomfort and impact your daily life. Our specialized eye care team offers innovative light therapy solutions, including Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy and low light therapy, to address these conditions.
What Causes Overactive Hordeolum (Styes) and Eye Inflammation?
Hordeolum, commonly known as a stye, is a painful, red bump that forms on the edge of the eyelid because of an infected eyelash follicle or oil gland. These can cause significant discomfort, swelling, and irritation. Chronic or overactive hordeolum often requires more than simple home remedies for effective treatment. Inflammation around the eyes can exacerbate conditions like ocular rosacea, leading to persistent discomfort and redness.
Our expert eye care team offers innovative solutions to address these issues.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
IPL therapy uses a broad spectrum of light to target and eliminate the bacteria, causing styes and inflammation. During the treatment, pulses of light apply to the affected area, penetrating deep into the skin. This process reduces the bacterial load, decreases inflammation, and stimulates the natural healing process.
IPL therapy is beneficial for individuals suffering from overactive hordeolum and chronic eye inflammation. The treatment targets the meibomian glands, which are often blocked in patients with these conditions, helping to restore normal function and reduce the recurrence of styes. IPL therapy can also significantly ease symptoms of ocular rosacea, offering a dual benefit for patients experiencing this condition.
Low Light Therapy
Low light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation and promote healing at a cellular level. This non-invasive treatment involves exposing the affected eyelid to low levels of red or near-infrared light, which penetrates the skin and reduces inflammation, enhances cellular repair, and improves circulation.
This therapy effectively treats overactive hordeolum by decreasing the swelling and discomfort associated with styes. It helps manage ocular rosacea by reducing the inflammatory response and promoting healthier skin around the eyes. Low light therapy is gentle and well-tolerated, making it a preferred option for patients seeking a non-invasive treatment solution.
