I-Brite®
I-Brite®, is a surgical eye whitening procedure that was developed in Korea by Dr. Bong- Hyung Kim. This procedure is not offered at the Assil Eye Institute because Dr. Assil believes it is neither a safe nor effective way to treat dry, red eyes because it does not address the underlying cause of the conditions. Additionally, IBrite is actually invasive surgery that can cause potentially serious, sight-threatening problems.
Dr. Assil prefers to treat the source of dry eye syndrome and red eyes with a non-invasive treatment known as DELIT (Dry Eye Light Intensive Therapy). DELIT is a revolutionary procedure that rejuvenates the inflamed and dormant glands (meibomian glands) that produce the oil component of tears. DELIT works by applying Intense Pulse Light (IPL) to the lower eyelids. Once the quality of tears is restored, and the dryness is resolved, the redness is clears up and patients find themselves using artificial tears less and less frequently.
