Experience the Next Generation of Light-Based Eye Care
At Infinity Eye Care, we are committed to bringing our patients the latest evidence-based technology to improve eye health and vision.
We are proud to offer Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT), also known as Photobiomodulation (PBM), as a comfortable, non-invasive treatment for a variety of eye conditions.
Unlike lasers or surgical procedures, photobiomodulation uses carefully selected wavelengths of light to stimulate natural cellular function. This process helps improve energy production within cells, reduce inflammation, and support the body’s natural healing response-all without heat, injections, or downtime.
Whether you struggle with chronic dry eyes, recurring styes or chalazia, or are looking for advanced treatment options for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), our team can determine whether photobiomodulation is right for you.
What Is Photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation is a medical treatment that uses low-intensity red and near-infrared light to stimulate mitochondria-the “powerhouses” inside your cells. Healthy mitochondria produce more cellular energy (ATP), allowing tissues to function more efficiently and repair themselves.
Research has shown that photobiomodulation may:
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve circulation
- Enhance cellular energy production
- Promote tissue healing
- Support nerve health
- Improve gland function
- Reduce oxidative stress
Treatment is painless, relaxing, and requires no recovery time.
Low-Level Light Therapy for Dry Eye Disease
A Different Approach to Dry Eye Treatment
Many people think dry eye simply means “not enough tears.” In reality, most dry eye disease results from poor tear quality caused by dysfunction of the meibomian (oil) glands.
When these glands become blocked or inflamed, tears evaporate too quickly, causing symptoms such as:
- Burning
- Stinging
- Redness
- Fluctuating vision
- Watery eyes
- Light sensitivity
- Eye fatigue
- Contact lens discomfort
Photobiomodulation helps reduce inflammation surrounding the eyelids while improving the function of the meibomian glands.
Many patients experience:
- Improved tear quality
- Better gland function
- Reduced irritation
- Increased comfort
- Less dependence on artificial tears
LLLT is frequently combined with a comprehensive dry eye treatment plan that may include eyelid hygiene, prescription medications, nutritional support, or other in-office procedures to provide the best possible outcome.
Treatment for Styes and Chalazia
Recurring styes and chalazia are often signs of chronic inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction.
Rather than only treating the individual bump, photobiomodulation addresses the underlying inflammation that contributes to their development.
Benefits may include:
- Faster resolution
- Less eyelid tenderness
- Reduced inflammation
- Improved healing
- Lower risk of recurrence
Patients who frequently develop styes often benefit from treating the underlying eyelid disease instead of repeatedly treating individual lesions.
Photobiomodulation for Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Supporting Macular Health
Age-related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults over age 60.
Recent clinical research has shown that photobiomodulation may help improve retinal cell function by supporting mitochondrial health and reducing oxidative stress within the retina.
For selected patients with dry (non-exudative) age-related macular degeneration, treatment may help:
- Support retinal metabolism
- Improve cellular function
- Reduce inflammation
- Reduce oxidative stress
- Help preserve visual function
Although photobiomodulation is not a cure for macular degeneration, it represents an exciting advancement in retinal care and may complement traditional monitoring and management.
Your doctor will determine whether you are a candidate based on your retinal examination and imaging.
What Does Treatment Feel Like?
Most patients describe treatment as relaxing.
During your session:
- Protective eye shields are placed when appropriate.
- You sit comfortably while the light is delivered.
- The treatment is painless.
- No injections.
- No anesthesia.
- No recovery time.
Most appointments last approximately 10-20 minutes, depending on the treatment protocol.
Many patients return immediately to work or normal daily activities.
Is Photobiomodulation Safe?
Low-Level Light Therapy has been studied for decades across multiple medical specialties.
When performed under the supervision of an eye care professional using FDA-cleared technology, photobiomodulation has an excellent safety profile.
As with any medical treatment, your doctor will determine whether it is appropriate for your specific condition.
Who May Benefit?
You may be a candidate if you have:
- Dry eye disease
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
- Blepharitis
- Ocular rosacea
- Recurrent styes
- Recurrent chalazia
- Dry age-related macular degeneration
- Chronic eye irritation
- Burning or watery eyes
- Contact lens discomfort
A comprehensive eye examination is necessary to determine whether photobiomodulation is appropriate for your condition.
Why Choose Infinity Eye Care?
At Infinity Eye Care, we believe exceptional eye care goes beyond treating symptoms.
Our doctors perform a comprehensive evaluation using advanced diagnostic technology to identify the underlying cause of your condition before recommending treatment.
Our dry eye evaluations may include:
- Meibography (oil gland imaging)
- Tear film evaluation
- Ocular surface staining
- Digital imaging
- Comprehensive ocular surface examination
- For patients with macular degeneration, we utilize advanced retinal imaging to monitor retinal health and personalize treatment recommendations.
Because every patient is different, your treatment plan is customized specifically for your eyes.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Treatment is painless and most patients find it relaxing.
The number of treatments depends on your diagnosis, the severity of your condition, and your doctor’s recommendations.
No. You may resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
Most photobiomodulation treatments are considered elective and are not covered by medical or vision insurance. Our team will discuss all fees before treatment begins.
Not always. Many patients benefit from combining photobiomodulation with other treatments as part of a comprehensive care plan.
