Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy is a treatment for dry eye that uses brief pulses of light to treat underlying causes of the condition. The treatment is administered with a class 4 laser device that emits broad light through filters that block UV and blue light. The light is absorbed by oxyhemoglobin and converted to heat, which can destroy blood vessels and liquefy hardened oils that clog the meibomian glands in the eyelids. This process in turns opens blocked glands, reduces inflammation, stimulate healthy glands, alleviate dry eye symptoms!
