Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy
Improves Meibomian Gland Function
IPL helps unclog and stimulate the glands that produce the oily layer of tears, enhancing tear film stability
Reduces Inflammation
The light energy targets inflammatory markers around the eyelids, which can reduce chronic irritation and swelling
Enhances Tear Quality
By restoring gland function, IPL improves the composition of tears, reducing symptoms like burning, dryness, and blurred vision
Longer-Lasting Relief
Compared to warm compresses or artificial tears, IPL has shown more sustained symptom improvement over time
