Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that uses precise wavelengths of light to stimulate natural healing processes in the body. In the field of ophthalmology, LLLT is particularly effective in managing chronic dry eye syndrome and other ocular surface conditions. By promoting cellular repair and reducing inflammation, LLLT offers a safe and painless way to improve your overall eye comfort and health.
