Intense pulsed light (ipl) treatment
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is a therapeutic approach used to stimulate the Meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oil component of tears. By enhancing the functionality of these glands, IPL treatment helps reduce tear evaporation and maintain proper eye hydration. This therapy leads to improvements in tear composition and ultimately enhances the patient's quality of life by alleviating symptoms such as redness and the sensation of grittiness in the eyes.
