Photobiomodulation, often called PBM, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to support natural cellular processes within the body.
At Tomasino Goerss Vision Source, we use advanced photobiomodulation technology as part of our commitment to providing innovative treatment options for our patients.
Every cell in your body requires energy to function properly. Photobiomodulation uses carefully selected wavelengths of light that interact with cells and their energy-producing structures, called mitochondria.
This interaction can help support cellular energy production and the body's natural repair and recovery processes.
Think of it as giving your cells additional support to do the work they already know how to do.
Photobiomodulation is a comfortable, non-invasive treatment performed right in our office.
During treatment, controlled light is delivered to the treatment area using our specialized PBM technology. There are no needles or incisions, and treatments typically require little to no downtime.
You can simply relax while the treatment is performed and return to your normal activities afterward.
Eye care is about more than seeing clearly. The tissues surrounding and supporting your eyes play an important role in your overall ocular health and comfort.
Photobiomodulation gives our doctors another tool to support these tissues and allows us to take a more comprehensive approach to eye care.
Depending on your individual needs, your doctor may recommend photobiomodulation on its own or as part of a broader treatment plan.
Not every treatment is appropriate for every patient. Before recommending photobiomodulation, our team will evaluate your eyes, discuss your symptoms and goals, and determine whether PBM may be beneficial for you.
