If you're dealing with chronic dry eyes, irritation, or a "droopy" appearance to your lower eyelids, the issue may go deeper than the surface. For many patients, lower eyelid laxity plays a hidden but significant role in dry eye disease.
At Performance Vision Center, we’re proud to offer OptiLift—a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that tightens, tones, and lifts the lower eyelids while improving tear retention and relieving dry eye symptoms.
Your lower eyelids play a crucial role in keeping your tear film stable and your eyes protected. When those lids become loose or saggy (a condition known as lower eyelid laxity), they may not make full contact with the eyeball, leading to:
Tear evaporation
Poor tear drainage
Increased irritation, redness, and foreign body sensation
Lower lid laxity can be caused by aging, inflammation, or past surgeries—and is often overlooked as a contributing factor in dry eye cases.
OptiLift uses a targeted thermal light-based technology to stimulate collagen production and gently tighten the delicate skin and connective tissues beneath the lower eyelid. This subtle lift:
Improves lid apposition to the eye
Reduces tear evaporation
Enhances tear film stability
Alleviates inflammation and discomfort
The treatment is completely non-invasive, pain-free, and requires no downtime—making it an ideal solution for patients seeking real results without surgery.
Lifts and tightens lower eyelids to improve contact with the ocular surface
Reduces dryness, redness, and irritation by minimizing tear evaporation
Improves appearance of tired, sagging under-eyes
Stimulates collagen and tissue remodeling for long-term eyelid support
Safe, effective, and non-surgical—with visible improvement in just a few sessions
Patients with dry eye symptoms that haven’t improved with drops or medications
Individuals with mild to moderate lower eyelid laxity or sagging
Post-surgical or aging patients experiencing ocular surface exposure
Anyone looking for a functional and cosmetic boost to their under-eye area
Your OptiLift session lasts approximately 15–20 minutes and is often described as warm and relaxing. Most patients require a series of 3–4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
Improvement is often noticed gradually, with better eye comfort and a refreshed appearance.
Many of our patients benefit most from a comprehensive approach—combining OptiLift with MDElite IProX IPL (for inflammation and gland health) or InfinityPro LLLT (for tissue rejuvenation and tear stability).
If you're tired of dealing with dry, irritated eyes and sagging lower lids, OptiLift may be the game-changer you've been waiting for. Get lasting relief—and a brighter, lifted appearance—in one simple, in-office treatment.
