OptiLight IPL Dry Eye Treatment UK
If you are one of the millions of people who suffer from dry eye syndrome, you are in the right place.
Living with dry eyes can be a constant challenge that disrupts not only your vision, but also your quality of life. We know, because we used to suffer from dry eye syndrome ourselves.
Committed to providing lasting relief from dry eye syndrome, Style Optique in Market Drayton, Shropshire became one of the first optical practices in the world to offer cutting-edge OptiLight IPL dry eye treatment packages. This advanced therapy not only relieves the uncomfortable symptoms of dry eye, it directly targets the underlying cause of dry eyes, proving a long-term solution.
Dry eye (also known as dry eye syndrome or dry eye disease) occurs when eyes lack sufficient tears, or tears evaporate too quickly. This common condition results in inadequate lubrication and moisture, leading to discomfort and potential vision implications.
What causes dry eyes? Most commonly, dry eye is due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) or insufficient tear production.
Treat the underlying cause with our advanced OptiLight IPL dry eye treatment technology and put an end to your struggle with dry eye syndrome once and for all.

While dry eye syndrome may seem like a minor inconvenience to those lucky enough not to experience this condition, for those of us who do live with it, it is a constant battle against discomfort, irritation and, quite often, frustration.
The symptoms of dry eye include burning or stinging sensations, watery eyes, redness, eye fatigue, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and even the feeling of having something in your eye.
All of these symptoms can significantly impact your daily routine and make simple tasks, such as reading, driving, and enjoying the outdoors, far more difficult and unpleasant than they ought to be.
Dry eye syndrome often stems from Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), which leads to rapid tear evaporation. This is known as Evaporative Dry Eye and accounts for 85% of all cases. OptiLight effectively treats this, even alongside Aqueous Tear-Deficient Dry Eye (inadequate tear production).
Why is treating dry eye important? Untreated, severe or chronic dry eye can compromise the front surface of the eye and cause serious complications, including eye infections, corneal scarring, and in extreme cases, vision loss.
In direct contrast to temporary dry eye treatments, such as artificial tears, warm compresses, and eyelid wipes, we offer a cutting-edge solution that targets the root cause: Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
OptiLight is the first and only FDA-approved Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment for dry eye syndrome.
The latest version of OptiLight uses precise light pulses to disrupt the cycle of inflammation, effectively treating the cause of dry eye rather than just managing the symptoms.
By effectively targeting all key areas, as outlined above, the latest version of OptiLight offers most patients substantial relief from both the causes and symptoms of dry eye syndrome, as well as produces a more radiant, smoother complexion and whiter, brighter eyes in just 4 simple treatments.
Available at our Optical Practice in Market Drayton, Shropshire.
Exceptionally thorough and all inclusive, The Style Optique Dry Eye Treatment Package follows an initial dry eye assessment, confirming your suitability for Optilight IPL therapy.
The Style Optique Dry Eye Treatment Package, priced at £1000, offers comprehensive care and includes:
✓ 4 Essential OptiLight Dry Eye treatment sessions
✓ Meibomian gland expression
✓ Meibomian gland imaging
✓ ZEST eyelid treatment
✓ Dry Eye Care Package
This structured package ensures optimal, lasting results. A minimum of 4 initial OptiLight sessions are required, followed by single maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months (starting at £250 per session).
After just four sessions, most patients experience a dramatic improvement in dry eye symptoms, along with several other welcomed aesthetic benefits, including enhanced collagen production and diminished age spots, sun spots, acne scars, rosacea, and more!
OptiLight IPL dry eye treatment involves a minimum of four sessions, spaced 2 weeks apart, and lasting approximately 30 minutes each.
What happens during an OptiLight session? First, a coupling gel is applied to the area being treated, and then a concentrated light pulses gently around your eyes. Patients typically only feel slight warmth and normal activities can be resumed immediately following each session.
As an added benefit, The Style Optique Dry Eye Treatment Package includes a ZEST eyelid treatment prior to the first IPL session. This patented process has been described as an “eye massage” and can remove years of biofilm buildup, leaving your eyes feeling more comfortable, while enhancing the effects of the IPL treatments.
To determine your suitability for Style Optique’s OptiLight Treatment Package, a comprehensive Dry Eye Assessment is conducted. This assessment identifies the specific cause of your dry eye and evaluates your meibomiam gland health.
Who is a candidate for OptiLight? Up to 80% of individuals are suitable candidates.
Diagnosis involves a detailed questionnaire (covering lifestyle, medical history, and dry eye symptoms) and an advanced diagnostic tool known as Antares. This ensures an accurate diagnosis and enables us to offer you a personalised treatment plan.
If the assessment reveals that OptiLight will be an effective treatment for you, we can immediately proceed with scheduling your first treatment.
Should your Dry Eye Assessment reveal that you are one of the few people who aren’t suited for OptiLight treatment, hope is not lost—we will customise a dry eye treatment plan for you or refer you for appropriate treatment.

Years of buildup can be removed in this single treatment, leaving your eyes more comfortable, while enhancing the benefits of your IPL treatments. You can think of ZEST as a relaxing and enjoyable eye facial!
Each treatment session lasts approximately 30 minutes.
