LacryDiag from Quantel Medical has helped us to improve our research studies and clinical trials. Nevertheless, most importantly I consider that has helped patients to understand better their particular pathologies and the proposed treatments.
Dr. Pieter GouwsSpire Sussex Hospital in East Sussex, United Kingdom

I have had excellent feedback from patients whom I have treated with the Lacrystim device. It is important to manage expectations and I tell my patients to expect a noticeable improvement after 3 treatments. I am recommending 4 treatments for all cases and the typical response is an improvement in symptoms which last longer and longer after each treatment. Re- treatment with 1 session is often requested at about 1 year after the first treatments.

For our patients, our goals are to increase quality of life, sustain intraocular pressure reduction, and reduce or eliminate the need for prescription eye drops. The LacryDiag offers a complete Dry Eye Disease (DED) diagnosis through multiple, noncontact tests in less than 5 minutes, making this a valuable device to have in a clinical setting and establishing a strong vantage point for treating patients diagnosed with DED and glaucoma.

C.STIM is a small revolution in the treatment of patients with dry eye disease associated with meibomian gland dysfunction. It allows a painless, quick, and most importantly, effective improvement of the functioning of the eyelid margins and significantly improves the patients' quality of life. After a series of sessions, patients report an improvement in the quality of life and I am very pleased to use dedicated ophthalmic devices using the IPL technology proven in medicine..
Dr. Serge DoanBichat Hospital and Rothschild Fondation, Paris, France
Read More
I use the C.STIM IPL mainly for meibomian dysfunctions. When there is inflammation or demodex of the eyelids, I use IPL directly on the eyelids with metal palpebral shells, a protocol that studies have shown works better than periocular flashes. Patients with neuropathic pain also experience improvement after IPL sessions.

We have been using Quantel Medical IPL devices for several years, first LACRYSTIM and more recently C.STIM. It is quite natural that these IPL devices have found their place in our daily practice within our consultation dedicated to dry eyes. The number of patients treated increases every year. C.STIM is very easy to use and does not require any consumables. A session lasts only a few minutes and is perfectly painless. The different doctors of the department have quickly adopted it, as well as the patients!
