| Abstract:
|
The meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) which is responsible for the state of the lipid layer of the tear film, is of key importance in the pathogenesis of dry eye syndrome (DES) development. This article analyzes the possibility of using Intensive Pulse Light (IPL) on the Lumenis M22 device with an IPL module in patients with DES associated with MGD. It has been shown that the use of IPL in this category of patients allows achieving a more pronounced reduction of subjective and objective manifestations of DES (increased the non-invasive test break-up time(NIBUT), the lipid layer thickness (LLT) and the tear meniscus height, and also had a beneficial effect on the meibomian glands). Significant treatment efficacy has been proven in patients with MGD grades I and II, and for grade III this treatment method is the method of choice than for traditional treatment.
