Abstract

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a common cause of dry eye disease. Intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment is a new and approved therapeutic option for MGD. The treatment consists of 2-4 sessions where light impulses are applied to the lower lid and temporal lid margin. The IPL technique is a safe form of treatment when the required safety precautions are followed. Current studies document an improvement of patients' subjective symptoms and objectively measured clinical parameters.
