IPL helps unclog and stimulate the glands that produce the oily layer of tears, enhancing tear film stability
The light energy targets inflammatory markers around the eyelids, which can reduce chronic irritation and swelling
By restoring gland function, IPL improves the composition of tears, reducing symptoms like burning, dryness, and blurred vision
Compared to warm compresses or artificial tears, IPL has shown more sustained symptom improvement over time

In a Mayo Clinic study, 89% of patients reported symptom improvement after IPL combined with meibomian gland expression (MGX), with 77% showing improved gland function.
Patients typically undergo 1 to 4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with many experiencing noticeable relief after just one session

IPL is FDA-approved for dry eye treatment, making it a safe, non-invasive option for patients who haven’t responded well to other therapies
