Dry, irritated eyes are a common concern for many people—often caused by screen time, environmental factors, or aging. While symptoms may seem minor at first, chronic dry eye can significantly impact daily comfort and overall eye health.
At Infocus Eyecare, we are proud to offer advanced solutions to help patients find lasting relief, including Envision Lumecca, a next-generation Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology.
What is IPL?
IPL uses controlled pulses of light energy to target inflammation and pigmentation beneath the skin. While commonly used in aesthetics, it has become an effective treatment for dry eye disease. Envision Lumecca delivers higher-intensity, more precise energy than traditional IPL devices, allowing for more targeted and efficient results.
How IPL Helps Dry Eye
A leading cause of dry eye is dysfunction of the meibomian glands—tiny glands along the eyelids responsible for maintaining a healthy tear film. When these glands become blocked or inflamed, symptoms like dryness, irritation, and blurred vision can occur.
IPL therapy helps reduce inflammation and improve gland function, leading to better tear quality and long-term symptom relief.
Lumecca-I: Designed for the Eye Area
For patients with more persistent symptoms, Lumecca-I offers a specialized, FDA-approved IPL treatment specifically designed for the delicate eye area.
Using a precision applicator, Lumecca-I safely targets inflammation around the eyelids and supports healthy tear production. An added benefit is the stimulation of collagen, which can improve the appearance and health of the skin around the eyes.

Additional Benefits
Beyond eye health, IPL treatments can also improve common skin concerns such as:
- Sunspots and age spots
- Rosacea and redness
- Uneven pigmentation
These treatments are commonly used on the face, neck, chest, and hands—areas most affected by sun exposure.
What to Expect
Lumecca-I treatments are non-invasive, drug-free, and performed in-office. Most patients experience little to no downtime, with only mild redness that typically resolves within a few hours.
