01
Meibography
Infrared visualisation of Meibomian gland structure and potential gland loss.
Lux Dry Eye Center Zurich
Technology
Precision for the ocular surface.
We combine modern imaging and light-based treatment technology with specialist ophthalmic assessment.
Topcon TERA Dry Eye Imager
Measurable. Visual. Understandable.
TERA combines high-resolution imaging with multimodal analysis. Its findings help us distinguish potential drivers of symptoms, document them clearly and compare changes over time.

Topcon TERA analysis
Tear break-up time, meibomian glands and lid margin measured and reviewed together on screen.
02
NIBUT
Non-invasive measurement of the time until the tear film first breaks up.
03
Tear meniscus
Measurement of tear meniscus height as an indicator of available tear volume.
04
Lipid layer
Qualitative assessment of the distribution and dynamics of the protective oil layer.
05
Blink analysis
Assessment of blink quality, essential for spreading the tear film evenly.
06
Surface imaging
High-resolution colour imaging of the ocular surface and lid margins with standardised grading.
eye-light®
Targeted light therapy for selected findings
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
OPE® IPL
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
LLLT® Photobiomodulation
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.
