IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to address the underlying causes of dry eye, particularly dysfunction of the meibomian glands.What Is IPL?
IPL uses controlled pulses of light applied to the skin around the eyes to stimulate the oil-producing glands that contribute to a healthy tear film.
By improving the quality of the tear layer, IPL reduces evaporation and restores a more stable ocular surface, leading to improved comfort and clearer vision.
The Procedure
Treatment is performed in a clinical setting using protective eye shields.
A series of light pulses is applied to the skin around the eyes. The procedure is gentle and typically well tolerated, with sessions lasting only a short time.
A course of treatments is usually recommended to achieve optimal results.
Recovery & Aftercare
There is minimal downtime following IPL, and patients can return to normal activities immediately.
Ongoing management may include adjunctive therapies to maintain results and support long-term eye surface health.
Outcomes
IPL provides meaningful and sustained relief for many patients with dry eye, improving both comfort and visual stability over time.
