Treatment for Blepharitis and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and Dry Eye

IPL (intense pulsed light) is used by medical and cosmetic practitioners for a variety of skin treatments and has proven extremely effective for treating evaporative dry eye and rosacea.

With IRPL the energy level delivered during each pulse of light is regulated and uniform which makes the procedure more effective in treating dry eyes than standard IPL.

IRPL it thought to target all aspects of meibomian gland dysfunction by rejuvenating damaged capillaries, reducing inflammation and unblocking the meibomian glands, which keep the eyes lubricated. The effect restores oil in the tear film which improves the tear film quality and stability thereby reducing inflammation of the ocular surface.

For optimal results, four sessions are recommended with increasing intervals over three months. Most patients see a rapid improvement in dry eye symptoms, with a significant improvement after two treatment sessions.
