The practice treats chronic dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), blepharitis, and ocular surface disease. **Lumenis OptiLight IPL:** The centerpiece treatment is the Lumenis OptiLight — the only FDA-approved Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) device specifically indicated for dry eye management. IPL therapy targets inflammation, reduces Demodex mites, and improves meibomian gland function through controlled light pulses applied to the periorbital area. **OptiPLUS Radiofrequency:** Radiofrequency therapy heats the meibomian glands to melt hardened meibum, improving oil flow and tear film stability. **OptiLIFT Dynamic Muscle Stimulation:** Addresses lid laxity and improves the mechanical function of the eyelids for better tear distribution. **Combination Protocols:** The practice offers multi-modal treatment combining IPL, RF, and DMSt for comprehensive dry eye management. Clinical data shows the IPL-RF-DMSt combination produces a 279% improvement in tear breakup time and a 75% decrease in lower lid laxity. ### Comprehensive Eye Exams Full-scope eye examinations using advanced diagnostic technology: - Retinal imaging and photography - Visual field testing - Intraocular pressure measurement - Ocular health assessment - Prescription determination for glasses and contact lenses - Screening for glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy ## Service Area Primary: Montgomery, Newburgh, Middletown, Walden, Goshen, NY Extended: New Windsor, Cornwall, Monroe, Washingtonville, Maybrook, NY Region: Orange County, NY and the greater Hudson Valley Distance from NYC: Approximately 65 miles north ## Pages - Homepage: https://thelastoptical.com/ - About: https://thelastoptical.com/about - Dry Eye Spa: https://thelastoptical.com/dry-eye-spa - Eye Exams: https://thelastoptical.com/eye-exams - Collections: https://thelastoptical.com/collections - News: https://thelastoptical.com/news - Contact: https://thelastoptical.com/contact - Areas We Serve: https://thelastoptical.com/areas-we-serve ### Brand Collection Pages - Lindberg: https://thelastoptical.com/collections/lindberg - Mykita: https://thelastoptical.com/collections/mykita - ic!
