Lux Dry Eye Center Zurich
Light technology, precisely applied.
OPE® IPL and LLLT® photobiomodulation with eye-light® may be integrated into a personalised treatment concept when clinically appropriate.
eye-light®
Where examination confirms a suitable indication, eye-light® can combine two complementary light-based modalities. Treatment is recommended only after individual ophthalmic assessment.
eye-light® IPL
Pulsed light gently warms the meibomian glands while protective shields cover the eyes.
01 · Intense Pulsed Light
Software-controlled polychromatic light pulses are applied beneath the eyes. The approach is designed to address dysfunctional processes associated with MGD and selected forms of eyelid-margin inflammation.
Light modulation (LLLT)
The warming light mask works comfortably and entirely touch-free on the lid area.
02 · Light Modulation
A dedicated light mask delivers low-level light to closed eyelids. This non-invasive application complements an ocular-surface treatment plan.
Light therapy is not suitable for every form of dry eye. We discuss potential benefits, process, contraindications and alternatives with you before treatment.
Discover treatmentPricing & coverage
One IPL treatment costs CHF 200. We typically recommend 4 treatments for optimal results. Basic health insurance does not cover these costs, and supplementary insurance only rarely does. The treatment is therefore primarily self-paid.
Inside the centre
Topcon TERA analysis
Tear break-up time, meibomian glands and lid margin measured and reviewed together on screen.
Slit lamp examination
The ophthalmologist assesses lid margins, tear film and corneal surface under the slit lamp.
eye-light® IPL
Pulsed light gently warms the meibomian glands while protective shields cover the eyes.
Personal consultation
Calm, unhurried care and a treatment plan that fits your daily life.
Your personal pathway
Your symptoms, habits, medical history and previous treatments provide the starting point.
We assess the tear film, Meibomian glands, eyelid margins, blink and ocular surface.
We explain your results clearly and identify the clinically relevant contributing factors.
You receive a staged concept with appropriate measures and follow-up assessments.
Frequently asked questions
Tear substitutes may relieve symptoms but do not automatically address the underlying driver. In MGD, for example, the tear film's lipid layer is central.
Core measurements such as NIBUT, meibography and tear meniscus height are non-invasive. Any additional ophthalmic examination is explained beforehand.
This depends on your findings, their severity and your response over time. We can only recommend a suitable protocol after assessment.
No. We review medical suitability, skin type, relevant medication and potential contraindications before treatment.
Many patients can continue their normal day immediately. You will receive advice tailored to your situation.
