You can relax and enjoy soothing music during the 12-minute procedure, after which you can return to your daily activities right away.

OptiPLUS is an FDA-cleared device that uses dual-frequency radiofrequency (RF) technology to target a common cause of dry eye: meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

OptiPLUS works by gently heating tissue around your eyes. This heat can increase blood flow, improve collagen production, and help melt hardened oil in the meibomian glands. These glands produce the oil layer in your tears, which is essential for preventing tear evaporation and keeping your eyes comfortable.

OptiPLUS can help you:

• • Reduce dry eye symptoms like stinging and irritation
  • Improve tear quality and stability
  • Enjoy clearer vision

Patients can relax in a massage chair and listen to soothing music during the treatment, followed by a facial massage post-treatment.
