How Does Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy Help Dry Eye?
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy has become increasingly important to optometrists as a second-stage treatment for dry eye disease, particularly in improving meibomian gland dysfunction.
​
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy targets pigment and has been used in dermatology for over two decades to help remove skin lesions, such as telangiectasia, hemangiomas, and acne rosacea. More recently, the application of IPL has expanded within the ophthalmic space due to unexpected findings. It has been noted that dermatology patients who experience meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) improved both symptoms and overall dry eye disease (DED) with IPL treatments.
