If you find yourself shying away from the light because it causes ocular discomfort or pain due to light sensitivity, White Plains Eye Care ((914) 732-1732) offers LLLT to treat dry eye conditions that create sensitivity and blurred vision.
Do you experience discomfort or an aching sensation in your eyes when you step out into bright sunlight or under incandescents? Maybe certain types of light even give you headaches or trigger migraines?
Your light sensitivity could be due to chronic eye dryness, which makes it more difficult for your cornea to take in the light as it needs to.
Thankfully, White Plains Eye Care offers Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) with its state-of-the-art technology to improve your ocular health and tear production.

✦ Light Sensitivity ✦
Light sensitivity is often due to a lack of lubrication of the cornea, which is the first point of entry for light into the eye. If untreated, this type of light sensitivity can cause mild to severe pain in the eye when exposed to light and can trigger migraines.
Improving tear production creates a healthy, consistently lubricated ocular environment that allows the cornea to react and absorb the light without creating discomfort.
✦ What White Plains Eye Care Can Do ✦
White Plains Eye Care's optometry specialists can issue patients a comprehensive eye examination with an emphasis on evaluating the quantity and quality of their tear production. If appropriate, the optometrist will schedule the patient for LLLT, a non-invasive treatment option that uses medical-grade LEDs to stimulate Adenosine ATP production, a signaling molecule that is crucial to retinal function and eye lubrication.
Using the EPI-C Plus appliance, the optometrists at White Plains Eye Care can use LLLT to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and ATP in the eye with red light. The blue light delivered through this LLLT purifies the eye and eliminates bacteria, creating a more balanced ocular ecosystem.
White Plains Eye Care's LLLT also improves the function of the meibomian glands, which secrete lipids to form a protective layer of tear film on the eye for consistent lubrication. LLLT can protect against the development of ocular and retinal diseases in the long term, and eliminate light sensitivity, blurred vision, and discomfort in the short term.
