🌟 IPL, Rosacea & Dry Eye: Treating Skin and Eyes Together 👁️✨

Did you know rosacea doesn’t just affect the face - it often affects the eyes too?
Many people with facial rosacea also experience dry, irritated eyes, redness, burning, or gritty sensations.

🔗 The connection:
Rosacea causes chronic inflammation and abnormal blood vessels. Around the eyes, this inflammation can damage the meibomian glands, which produce the protective oil layer of your tears. When this oil layer is poor, tears evaporate too quickly → dry eye disease.

💡 How IPL helps:
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) targets abnormal blood vessels and inflammation, helping both the skin and the eyes.

✨ Benefits for the face:
✔️ Reduces facial redness and flushing
✔️ Treats facial rosacea
✔️ Improves skin tone and texture
✔️ Calms inflammation

👁️ Benefits for dry eyes:
✔️ Improves meibomian gland function
✔️ Reduces eyelid inflammation
✔️ Improves tear quality
✔️ Relieves dry eye symptoms linked to rosacea

🏥 At Vale Eye Surgeons, IPL treatment is available for facial rosacea as well as rosacea-related dry eye, allowing us to treat the condition holistically - not just the symptoms.

✨ Because rosacea is more than skin deep.

✨ The benefits of OptiLight IPL for Dry Eye ✨

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of Dry Eye, where blocked or inflamed oil glands cause tears to evaporate too quickly. OptiLight IPL is designed to target this problem at the source.

💡 How IPL helps:
• Reduces eyelid inflammation
• Improves oil flow from Meibomian glands
• Decreases abnormal blood vessels that drive inflammation
• Stabilises the tear film
• Provides long-term symptom relief

✔ Clinically proven and safe (First and only FDA approved IPL for dry eye disease)
✔ Quick treatment sessions (10-15 minutes)
✔ Minimal discomfort
✔ No downtime
✔ Long-lasting results with a treatment course
✔ May reduce reliance on eye drops

Treatment is usually delivered as a course of 4 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, with progressive improvement over treatments.

✨ A proud moment for ophthalmology in Wales ✨

We’re delighted to share that Magda Popiela - Consultant Ophthalmologist at Cardiff and Vale UHB, and a valued member of the Vale Eye Surgeons team - has become the first surgeon in Wales to perform surgery using the EndoArt Artificial Endothelial Implant.

The EndoArt implant is a synthetic layer placed on the posterior corneal surface through a minimally invasive procedure. This cutting-edge technology opens a new treatment pathway for patients with complex corneal disease, helping to:
• Reduce reliance on donor corneal tissue
• Lower the risk of graft rejection
• Improve outcomes in challenging cases

Magda carried out this groundbreaking procedure for Bethan, who appeared with her on Saving Lives in Cardiff 2024. You can follow part of her journey in Series 1, Episode 4 on BBC iPlayer.

👏 Huge congratulations to Bethan, Magda, and everyone involved in achieving this milestone for eye care in Wales.
