Over 80% of dry eye symptoms can be attributed to a type of Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). The Meibomian glands are located along the edge of the eyelids, where the eyelashes are located. The oil produced by these glands is an important lubricating component of the tears in our eyes. IPL helps treat Meibomian gland dysfunction by reducing and treating inflammation without damaging the eye or surrounding skin.
The benefits of IPL therapy can last for many months to a year, depending on the individual patient and the intensity of their dry eye problems.
