✦ LLLT Technology ✦

White Plains Eye Care uses the Marco EPI-C Plus device to issue low-level light therapy (LLLT), which uses red and blue light technology to treat the eyelids and eyelashes.

The Marco EPI-C device uses red light, which is absorbed by the eye's mitochondria and stimulates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to increase cellular action and the production of collagen and elastin. The blue light from the Marco EPI-C device serves to purify the eye and eliminate bacteria by soliciting porphyrins.

An estimated 3 million Americans are afflicted with glaucoma and it is suspected that many more have the condition but don't realize it. White Plains Eye Care's low-level light therapy is intended to treat dry eye symptoms that can potentially be a sign of early-stage glaucoma, as the two conditions often go hand in hand.

If you're experiencing dry eye symptoms like redness, itching, burning, light sensitivity, or blurred vision, you can visit White Plains Eye Care to receive a comprehensive eye exam that will include testing to determine the quality of your tear production. From here, the practice's optometrists will issue LLLT, if appropriate. Other in-office treatments may also be issued, such as exfoliation of the eyelids or thermoelectric heat therapy to break down blockages in the tear ducts. The practice may prescribe supplemental at-home treatments as well, such as prescription eye drops, lid scrubs, or artificial tears.
