Dr. Sarah Terlesky, an optometrist in Virginia, discusses the implementation and benefits of intense pulse light (IPL) and low-level light therapy (LLLT) in optometry. IPL, which targets chromophores in the skin, has shown significant success for many patients.

IPL is effective for dry eye relief, particularly for skin types 1-4, while LLLT, which uses specific wavelengths for photobiomodulation, is safe for all skin types. Photobiomodulation has shown promising results for dry eye, rosacea, and AMD, with personalized treatment plans and careful patient selection being crucial for success.
