Intense Pulsed Light Treatment For Eyes
Intense pulsed light treatment or IPL treatment is done to correct skin related issues for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes by cosmetic as well as medical practitioners. Some of the issues are acne scarring, thread veins, rosaceae, hair removal and sun damage. Nowadays it is largely employed in ophthalmology and optometry to ease chronic dry eye conditions caused from meibomian gland dysfunction.
To treat dry eyes and to liquefy the viscous meibum which is functioning abnormally, pulses of light are used. Meibomian glands are present on the rim of the eyelids and are also known as tarsal glands. They supply meibum, which is an oily substance responsible for preventing eyes tear film evaporation. IPL treatment is also done to ease inflammation of eyelids, vascularization, decrease bacterial growth, reduce eyelid redness and to stimulate healthy gland function.
During this procedure, light pulses are focused on the eye which in turn targets the root cause of inflammation and in less time, the inflammation gets reduced. When patients undertake the treatment for the second time, they can easily notice that their dry eyes condition has improved. Depending on the condition, occasional maintenance treatment is also done and sometimes IPL treatment is also combined with other dry eye treatments such as dry eye compress, usage of punctal plugs etc. IPL treatment is also done to slow down the progression of dry eyes. Consult your doctor to know about this treatment procedure.
