The Meibomian glands, in the lids of the eye, secrete oils that prevent the premature evaporation of tears. These glands can become plugged, leading to inflammation and bacterial infiltration that can cause poor vision, pain, redness and swollen eyelids associated with dry eye.
What is Light Impulse Therapy for Dry Eye?
Intense pulsed light uses a flash lamp that emits concentrated energy to targeted areas in the lower eyelids. The energy closes small inflamed blood vessels that may contribute to meibomian gland dysfuntion, and the light acts as a warm compress that liquifies the gland secretions and ultimately unplugs them and brings relief to the dry eye sufferer.
